Given that the two pieces of woven metal that make the grill cost $1200, I would say it will be a LOT.

TYC tails + red overlays/red spray tint = RS3 lights. Sorta.

Would it be possible to just get the amber signal TYC lights and just take them apart to tint the signal red? Seems to me that would be way less expensive. Usually you can just heat headlights and tail lights in the oven on LOW and pry them apart.

The tail lights can't be baked open, they will most likely warp and melt. To get inside you're going to need to use a dremel.

so if only rs 3 owners can buy them. I'm sure if you own a rs 3 you can buy extra pair for somebody else.

you could go to the dealership, give the vin number, and if they ask to see your car, just say you dont have it with you, and have someone take you in their car or drive another car down there, and thats only if they want to get technical

That's what I did almost a year ago. After me and a buddy finished mine, Peeps either loved them or hated them. Now it seems a lot of peeps like the RS3 tails. And mine look very similar. Go figure.

And the blinker blinks red, not amber. The choice is yours: try and locate a RS3 VIN# and pay an outrageous price for them or just buy some Lens Paint for $50 (2 cans @ $25 ea.). They may not look exactly like the RS3 tails but I'm still very happy with them.

I have access to a couple RS3 Vin #'s. I checked and it is OK to purchase these tails even if you don't have a RS3. I was about to purchase mine the other day until I found out it was going to cost........$520 and that's with my employee discount that I get for working for Toyota/Scion. For non employees it would be around $600 for these tails.

I love those RS3 tail lights. I keep asking my b/f if he wants to switch it with mine, and he just laughs. Those would look nice with my BCP .
