Okay guys im thinking of tinting both my front and rear lights was wondering what all you guys think i have a 98 pearl iced teal i think (the light blue color) was wondering if u guys think that would look good also im installing my hids soon so with tint will hid still be better than stock lights wit/out tint?

 

don't tint the fronts, just blackhouse them. I've seen tinted CL front lights, and IMO they're

 

^+1 to that. ive only seen a few cars that i've liked with the front lights tinted. are you modded at all? a stock car with tints looks kinda weird

 

Azn TL did it and he got flamed, it didn't look very good and he took it back off.

 

 

some liked it, but most didnt.

 

but the only reason they didnt look completely terrible is b/c youhave a black cl, the lighter blue color I think would just look goofy and not in a good way

 

I think tinted headlights period look weird, the only reason my tinted tail lights look good is cuz it's on black otherwise i wouldn't like it, looks good on klepto's white car cuz he did black on white theme

 

Yes sir..Keep the Tails tinted but not the fronts!!

 

 

eye-lids are pretty gay too on the cl

 

ness

 

dont hate on the "sliver"/black theme

 

man i wanted to get some black 18's with the chrome lip, but everyones cars are starting to look the same around here. i might have to go with bronze

 

 

well thnx for the info guys and yea da front tint does look kinda
but idk yea i dont have any other exterior mods yet but im slowly doing it da cheap stuff first den do the rest like rims will be last cause i have a tendency to scrape them up. lowering will be done hopefully by end of this summer if ive saved up enough im already getting hids only other thing i will do is probably repaint it and yea black housing does look alot better but this is my daily driver so i cant pull the lights out and do it. i was hoping the tinting would give a similar look but not even close. thnx for the replys

 

i know being on a budget can be hard, but u can do a lot more than u think. I did a lot to my car in the last year, without spending much money at all.
Powdercoated stock rims-200
Blackhousing Headlights-15
Tinted Taillights and corners-10
Intake-30
ww lip 100
suspension- 100

yea i got deals on the lip and suspension, but u can see, a lot of stuff can be done for pretty cheap

 

budget mods= debadge, tint windows, changing headlight bulbs, change up your grille to mesh.

 

how hard is debadging just basically rip it off or u gotta be carefull?

 

i used a fishing line, i guess its suppose to be easy but my shit was super glued on and the badges were in the wrong spots.

 

It's easy, BUT you can't "rip them off" you have to take your time with the fishing line, then spend 1-2 hours scraping the glue off without removing your clearcoat/paint then you have to wash and wax to get rid of glue and shadowing

VERY worth it in the end

 

Where did you get your suspension and what intake did you get? Also, how did you tint your taillights because I know rockblocker isn't that cheap.

 

I got my suspension from cocao. (well gettin it from him, it gets here on friday) and i just got an ebay intake, i had an aem that i got for 20 from a friend but it was for a civic, but it worked just fine. And i tinted my tail lights myself using transperant window tint spray that i got at a model shop. Its just like a mix betweek black and clear coat like they the people who do it professionally use

 

whats the name of the spray cause i was planning on using that window tint film and then putting it on that seems hella hard to make sure u get no bubbles but spray sounds easier.

 

the tint isnt hard, the bubbles go away over time..
i had a bunch of small bubbles for a while, but now its smooth as a baby's butt

 

its called transparent window tint spray, get it at the hobby shop

 

i went with tint sheets to play it safe, isnt the tint spray permanent if you mess up?

 

not a fan of tinted talights...02

 

no, ive re done mine 3 times, it just takes some serious scrubbing, and a ton of nail polish remover
