hey just about to start some summer projects on my 97 2.2, does anyone know the legal limit for taillight tint in NY? or the US for that matter? i want to do a 25% tint on my black cl but just wanted to make sure it will still pass any inspections, thanks

 

go ahead and search for rockblocker in the sales and groupbuys forum. He sells two films (a dark one and a darker one) that you can put right over the taillights... they look real nice, and if any inspectors say they're too dark, you can just take em off I guess...

 

Just go here and get them, I got the 20% which looks great on my car, and should still be legal, because you can see the lights right through it.

Pic of it on my car from their site.

 

that looks phat, your car was the one that made me say hey i should do that to my car, besides rockblocker couldn't you just use regular window tint? wouldn't it be alot cheaper? awell i will probably buy from rockblocker but just a question

 

35% FTW...

 

dyme that color is nice....repainted?

 

Nope! Just your average Inza Red, kept in mighty good condition.

I just tinted the tail lights, debadged, and painted the "A" black over this weekend, and I gotta say, the red really looks awesome now, with this new color scheme.

 

you don't wanna use regular window tint, cuz the adhesive won't hold up very well. Rockblocker uses 3m adhesive, and mine held up through winter, and salt, and many washes. Plus it comes already precut for your tail light, I'd recommend doing that over regular window tint, it's sturdier. Damn that red looks nice ridin clean

 

wow that red one looks sex. how long did it take to receive the tint after you ordered it

 

^ Thanks for the comments, fellas!

As far as how long it takes to receive the tint kit, it gets to you pretty damn quick.

Rockblocker sends it via USPS Priority Mail, which is 2-3 days. I think I placed my order late on a Monday night, and I got it on Thursday.

 

couple questions for you, ridin clean:

1) to do the acura symbol black, did you just pry it out and hit it with a coat of primer, then black. then how did you get it back on the car, stick the things back in the holes and apply some kinda glue to hold it in?

2) what exhaust is that?

3) are you lowered?

yeh, i have alot of questions. lol. just researching for my baby.

 

^ Sent you a PM, sixfifty. Didnt wanna hijack this thread, heh.

 

Took like 2 days for me, and that was during the group buy when they just started making them

 

do you think 35% would be to dark on a black car?

 

I have the 20% and it looks real good, with a hint of red. Search for Chuckz car klepto posted a bunch of pics of his tail lights, i couldn't get away with them here, i'd get pulled over like crazy

 

i think that klepto's look the best

 

i like mine even though everyone here thinks it looks like shit

 

i think u mean winter projects cuz summers over

and i might be lookin into some rockblocker tints myself
