Default Cheapest way to black out taillights?

Is there a cheap film overlay I can buy online that's precut for the c5 a6 taillights? I am looking to blackout the tails. Thanks.

Have you tried to look to Honda Civic forum? or any other ricer forum...mazda etc??.. you will definitely get ur answer there. I am sorry, but most of us here have Audis here, and we don't usually go the cheapest way.

Ebay has like a tint kit for like 10 bucks. But for that 10 bucks u get crap. Like Nocturnal said you got the Audi dont buy shitty parts. Get Hella Smokes if anything

I know there is a paint that comes in a spray can, maybe called Nite Shade or something like that. Its not super expensive, but not cheap. Somewhere around $35-45, I think. Not sure how well it works though.

Yeah, that stuff is called VHT Nite Shades. On large pieces of plastic it will be difficult to get an even spray, but I have used it with success to black out the tiny side turn blinkers on my car. It should be less than $15 a can.

You are right NH but have seen an Audi with a good set of Hella Smoked Tails. Looks sick. Now I understand exactly what ur saying about the spray on and stuff it will look like a ricer

I am not trying to go ricer, I just haven't seen the film on a car in real life and figured it would look clean if done properly.

my guess is that doing a film is like doing tints on windows if its not perfect ull notice so if u got a crafty knife and a steady hand i guess give it a shot. Still think you should go with Hella Smokes
