Thought I'd toss this out there. What's the consensus on aftermarket tails? Any best options by brand? Some might think it ricey, but I wouldn't mind updating the look. With a black body, the OEM red lenses are beginning to grate on me. I'd only consider if the fit, finish and quality is right and if no wiring harness mods are required. Any photos of installs would be great.

 

I only know of three options...
You can get the spray on lens paint (like aerosol window tint) and spray them black. alot of people do.
...or you can go with one of these two kits from thettshop.com

Clear


...or black


I dont really like the black... But I've thought about the clear. I haven't really gotten into body mods or cosmetic mods yet (other than engine trim).

 

Did this on my brothers passat. Looks really nice and really tones down the dramtic difference between the lens and the car. i would go this route and just use a few layers and a few more layers of clear to make them not stand out as much.

 

Have a pair of the black I'm willing to part with. PM me if interested...

Regards,
Joseph

 

pics?

 

Shoot me your email addy and I'll send you some tonight or tomorrow...

Thanks all, there gone...

 

I think silver tails on a silver or blue tt or black tails on a black or green tt would be nice... or either way the tinted looks really good but going mis matched black tails with a silver tt i dont think looks as nice... just my humble opinion

 

You dont think clear/silver tails on the desert green would look okay? :-\
Damnit... haha

 

altezza! Ewww!

If by euro, you mean, either the UK, or EU stock tail light, my vote is yes!

Think de-reflectored headlights, and apply to taillights. May also have an amber rear turn signal, but I can't remember for sure.

 

i just bought the black ones i'll post pics when i get them installed should look sweet on a black TT
