Thanks! Added myself using this.
Went with 1/4 of an inch. Here is what I used
I used this:
1/4" 3M Vinyl Striping 150' 25 Colors Available (Tomato Red) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQN3W40/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9QkJDbZ97CZ7J
Although the red shade is a bit lighter than the red GTI strip.
I've seen some people recommend this one as well in the mk7owners forum:

You could add the red strip to the lower front face and the back ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029XBBE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). It does look a lot sportier. You can also plasti dip all the chrome. Those are the only way I can think of not involving a louder exhaust.
This stuff off of Amazon.
It's just 4-inch red automotive pinstriping. I got it at my local O'Reilly Auto Parts for like $4.

Thank you! I often stare at that ass also when I walk away
I love the eyesight, it's something I didn't think I would need, but after having it, I can't live without it. I use it frequently on the freeway. Only caution I would throw in is if you know there's traffic, don't rely on eyesight's breaking, because it sometimes catches completely stopped traffic a tad late, and breaks really hard. When it accelerates, it tends to accelerate pretty hard too.
I typically throw on the adaptive cruise control and lane guard and cruise on the freeway.
I bought this tape for the red trims.

I taped it along the grooves in the back, turned out better than I expected!
1/8 in.1/4 in. red pinstripe from Amazon. I may redo it. Two lessons I learned:Might be better buying the pre-cut stripe from FT86SF, but all in all the red chin and the side markers took less than half an hour.
Edit: Apparently it was 1/4 in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029XBBE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just bought this one and did it myself actually. Any good generic 3M-type stripe tape should work well.

Hey, glad you liked it. I used this. Was super cheap and very easy to put in place. You'll need a steady hand and some patience but overall it's not too hard. If you check my other submissions here, you'll see I did the front bumper, side fender badges, and mirrors with this same tape. Just take your time, use wax / grease remover, and clean the area with isopropyl alcohol before laying it down.
Did you buy this one? https://www.amazon.ca/Trimbrite-T1218-Trim-Stripe-Tape/dp/B00029XBBE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549729531&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=trimbrite+pinstripe&dpPl=1&dpID=51gv6EF%2BViL&ref=plSrch
Just got a roll of the tape off amazon and laid down on the concrete and slapped it on there myself.
