tail light spray tint, grill CF overlay help in SoCal

I have been wanting to do tail light spray tint from inside(only the red part), and CF overlay on silver part of the grill.

I remember that one place had pre-cut CF overlay for grill (also saw it his web-site with price), but I totally forgot the site adress.

Any help in these two project in socal area?
Thank you for ur time.

I've been meaning to go to Promax MS in alhambra to get my grille wrapped but they've recommended that I paint my grille black in order to get a cleaner look. I still haven't found the time to get it painted though X_X. Promax MS also did AZN_C300's cherry red tails. I'm sure they could do yours too.

Reason for the suggestion to paint it black is the precut slab part doesn't encompass the inner sides and the circular part where the star is. This is why it should be painted black first before applying CF.

For paint, most body shops can do it, but I'd recommend Auto Network in San Gabriel (130 Agostino Rd, San Gabriel, CA. 626-285-5489). They do a damn good job and great prices. It's a hard to find hole in the wall place, but they take care of a lot of local show cars and industry owners.

And for CF wrapping, JSDesignFactory.com. Ask for John and tell him I sent you.

If you end up going somewhere else than the aforementioned spots, you may need to get your own paint for the tail light tint. The place I took my tail lights didn't have tint paint in stock (since you need special paint so you can see through them for the brake lights). If you end up needing some, try the JDM Lens Paint or Nightshades on eBay. This is the stuff I bought:

Not sure why the price is so high, I got mine for half the price of this. Just a suggestion though, hopefully the place you go already has it so you don't have to wait to get it shipped then take it in.

I'll see if I can contact that paint shop. Thanks Mike.
