    i dunno if you can get that look wihtout buying new tails, if they even exist. BUT i bought taillight tint off ebay and i think itll look fine, a lot of people do it on e46fanatics, and if it looks like ass just peel it off
    I bought 20% tint, but im waiting for my new taillights in the mail

            The ones on the GTI are also crystal style, no way to duplicate that.

              I've used the spray on stuff a few times and it does the job i ok,these were friends or customer cars and they didn't want to shell out the dough for a decent aftermarket set but i won't do my own.It can be tricky to apply and runs easily.There is a vast difference between what you would apply and quality aftermarket.
