Thats pretty cool, I would have never of thought of that. I want to tint my tails very slightly, but I'm in no rush, I'm also not sure if I'd go the pantyhose route but it's good to know it's an option.
Enjoy the new look and thanks for sharing.

Yeah I wouldn't mind having a second pair of tailights to play with. I just don't want to mess them up becuase I may sell my car at some point.

I'm surprised AudiForums is so close minded to innovation and independent thought. After all, it was your AWD system that NO ONE BELIEVED would work that pushed Audi through it's successful racing career. Innovation.
Come on you guys. I can't believe you cuss on innovation so readily. You can smoke a taillight with Laminex, but it bubbles and looks brown, and it changes the light output to have a nasty brown tint. You can spray a taillight with tint, but you have to use Acetone to remove it. Acetone is known to be detrimental to plastic, which your taillights are made of. Pantyhose slides on, and is removed with no damage to the OEM part. It also doesn't collect water, since it is nylon. Due to the nature of pantyhose (woven threads instead of a solid) it allows light to escape between the threads at the original color and intensity.
I thought you guys were better than that. I say props and good job with a new idea.

RE: Smoked tail lights in 10min
that would be cool, if you just wanted to see how tinted tails looked... but uhm, that is the most redneck/ghetto think i have seen around here in a while

My roomate and I were talking about that we we're literaly like "...and I bet if I got pulled over and was just like 'oh alright I'll take them off right now' a cop would let me go for it".
Well glad I'm not the only one.

I'm not the one with a spray painted my grill either...
Not that I haven't considered it... it looks good, just saying we all do things to make our cars stand out and if it looks cool, it looks cool.

Nice Job, I love the way those pantyhose set off the look of your HONDA CIVIC

Whatever, I think it's clever and at the very least, it can help a person decide whether or not to commit to permanant tint.
