Get spray tint for $10 and do it yourself. It's easy.

You have to clear over the spray tint, or it will eventually look like ****.

Epends on what you consider a shitty look. When I did mine they were really dark but over time they lightened a bit and are exactly what I wanted. They're still very clear though - darkened but not blotchy or blurry at all.

Thanks. If you use film, obviously you don't spray on top of the film. If you use spray tint(niteshades), or a light coat of black, you have to spray clear on top. Otherwise the tint will fade and be flat black instead of glossy.

Just be careful and check your local laws, cause some states tinted tails are way illegal. In PA like all tinting is a no-no, damn dutchies....

This is just me but i think smoked tail lights, or when they are really really dark, dont look that good on a silver audi. Id just go with a tint nothing to crazy, like pure black. However thats just my opinion. I think it looks great on red and black audis, but then again im the kinda person that thinks that these cars are so beautiful they dont need many exterior changes.
