The vinyl is really tricky. I haven't mastered it yet and I will probably take them to get them done professionally next. All those damn turns... a real challenge

 

I got the Blue Batmobile overlays about a week ago and tried to put them on. Third brake light and side mirror turn signals turned out nice, but the tail lights themselves didn't turn out. After over 2 hours of fighting with it, I had messed up the overlay enough and was frustrated enough I just stopped. Problem is the taillight isn't completely smooth and then add in the 90 degree angles and it's rough.

That said, I got the 3/10 color, which I really like. I think it darkens things just enough to match the car great. It takes the edge off the white and red you normally have for those colors.

Bottom line, the overlays are cool, but unless you're good at installing vinyl, I'd recommend having it professionally installed.

 

So I got my windows tinted today on my RS7 @ my friends shop. I wanted the tails tinted with the reverse section untouched. The guy came out explained how they needed to accomplish this....by making a seam with the tail goes into the truck. The guy says I'll do one and you see if you like it. 45min later and 3 attempts the tint kept peeling off the top part of the tail. He told me it's not possible without being "frankensteined" and looking bad.

So what are my options here? I don't want to paint..So vinyl? Anyone have suggestions? I think they would look awesome on this yellow/black TC2.

 

Buy an extra set of tail light housings and get them painted other then that wait until some aftermarket tail light come out. There are not many options right now.

 

^^ well that sucks! I could've sworn I've seen pix around of people tinting tail lights in their build threads. Unless they're butchered and we can't tell from a pic?

 

do you plan on buying vinyl and then pulling it off soon? just paint it if you know how to paint. i dont see why some people seem scared of putting paint on the tails.

 

See my Gallery below for options. Email me to order.

thanks I looked at his profile and didnt see those pics but thats what I was looking for Any thoughts on iT?

 

I doubt he gets many "dude your right reverse light is blown!" comments. Haha

It totally looks awesome covered up that way to tell everyone that yup you got ONE reverse light and it's on the LEFT side.

 

i advise doing the 2nd reverse light mod in this section it helps with the whole hey your reverse light's blown b.s. plus it makes things alot easier to see if you get your windows tinted

 

honestly...i've had the car for over a year

and i never had anyone tell me my reverse light is out...

 

I have a lot. Mostly by my friends who like to rub it in that they have two.....

 

^^Once in a great while I get it... Keep in mind that my passenger side is now red tinted and has no clear part on it at all...
