[V8] Who wants tinted taililghts?

[Seamus O'Carey]

So I double checked my calculations and it looks to me like if I add at
least 1/2" for overlap over the edges, the corner lights will take about
11-1/2" and the trunk lights will use about 18", for a total of roughly 59"
needed to completely cover the taillights for each vehicle (and a little
room to spare).  So as far as I can tell, a 15' roll will be enough for 3
cars.

Is there at least two other people interested in going in on a roll with me?
