2006+ Taillight Vinyl Overlays

I was on eBay and came across this listing for a pair of tinted vinyl overlays that would darken up the clear part of the 06+ CLK taillights. It looks pretty good, I might buy a pair. What do you guys think?

They have a light color, and a dark color...the dark one is pictured.

I might be interested. Just got my hands on a new pair of tails but they are clear also. Seems like they are taking advantage a bit on the price..But I would probably still buy them...I checked his feedback and from what they show he hasn't sold any..Def go with the dark over the light

sorry, I have no daytime pics. I'd say if you have a black wheels and some other parts in black then you should get cf, it goes really well. I should complete my car with a black grille.
