Errrmmm...I'd leave them black, though my choice would be to not have them at all.

Well I dont think it'd look weird without painting them. It depends on what you're looking for. Black is more aggressive because of the contrast with the silver, and silver is obviously more showy and what I would call luxury style. I like the black myself, but I wouldn't tint the tails.

Luxury style it is. No tint.
I really appreciate all the feedback, after all I'm gonna have to live with it once it's done.
I'll post pics in a few days.

AND for those who say, "I wouldn't put them at all" We all each have our own unique style that makes our Audi's ours. There are so many B5's emerging here in Chicago that I need to keep mine's unique so the biters can't bite and the haters keep hating.
