Let me offer a different opinion... I had mine tinted by a shop and they came out perfect. No peeling, no bubbles. I would agree not to try and tint yourself, but if you had a good shop do it, it would be fine. I had mine done leaving a ring of the oem color around the edges and it looks great. I haven't seen another one like it.

I used Lamin-X taillight film. Its been on for almost 2 years, and still looks great. You can even just pull in off when you are done with it.

They look great congrats. Just one question- Center break light on windshield? It looks fine w/o it but do u know how much more it would cost for that and if I do it I think I will use the same ppl. They did a great job and if its a tint they will look awesome in a couple of days when they dry.

Looks awsome gives us an update in about a month on how they are holding up. Oh now you need to debage or black out you baging and go with a completly stealth look.

I will! The shop hasnt had a problem yet with anyone's taillights and they have been doing it for quite some time.

I also had a question about debaging. I would need to put them on when I turn my car in so how would I realign the badges perfectly? Also what would you think about just blacking out the audi sign and maybe if they have black 2.0T and A3 badges?

This is a very smart way that I've seen people have gotten the correct placement when debadging.
