Does anyone know who sells the full size tail light lens (tinted) like in the photo below?

Looked at some of the more common vendors and don't see them listed.

Cip1.com has that style of tail light lenses. They were out of stock when I purchased mine.
I found them on eBay from a seller in Brazil.
Search for smoked lenses.

I had them on mine for a little while, just be aware it is very hard for other motorists to see your turn signals in mid day sun.

just do them yourself. I did it on my girlfriends audi and on my 68 bug. came out really good and you can choose how dark you want to go by adding layers at a time. comes in a can called VHT
