Oh well just message the seller — I'm sure he will send you out the right ones.

Ok... so just an update...

I got the ebay ones (The ones that advertise 3 mills thick) .... In the shade or indirect sunlight, they look close in enough, but under direct [edit in->] artificial light (under a streetlight at night or when headlights shine on them from behind) they do not match...

Shade:




Under streetlight (+camera flash):



Just wanted to let those of you know who are thinking about getting the ebay ones...

I'll get a close up shot tomorrow, but found a pic of what mine look like in direct light...You can barely make out where the vinyl is

^I took my pics are from super close up to try and make it as obvious as possible lol.

During the day mine look just like yours, its almost impossible to tell (Like in pics #1 and 2) ... Its at night when its obvious (Headlights behind me/streetlight). At least for me...

I think its the artificial light, when shining on the tail light, that is making it obvious... because I checked again today, and even under the sun it looked pretty good. But at night, when my car was parked under a streetlight ... it was totally obvious.
