The wheels are 17" Racing Hart C3 and yes...I cleared out the tailights myself. Found instructions on how to clear them from a thread a while back.

Looks nice, few questions though.

What % tint?

Did the A emblem leave a hole or two when taken off? I'm not sure if I want to get rid of it or not...

A link to the taillight thread? I need to fix a seal on one as it is, and they look so much better cleared. Was it easy to do?

I cleared my tailights with the oven but couldn't find the instructions through the search option. I know that you're supposed to preheat the oven (can't recall the temp, but hopefully someone from the forum will remember) and then put the tailights in the oven for aprrox 7 mins. REMEMBER to take the bulbs out first. Then pry the lens off, be careful not to breack the corners cuz I cracked the corners on mine (not noticable from a distance). The orange reflector should fall right off once you have the lights pryed open. Preheat the oven again and then put the lights back in the oven for a few minutes so the glue would melt again. Take the lights out and wait for the glue to dry up. You can also clear your tails with a heat gun. Here's the link for that option. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...highlight=oven.
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! GOOD LUCK BRO....

I have 35% tint all around. The holes are way too small to see cuz the grill is black. Umm...clearing the tails are pretty easy as long as you make sure not to leave the lights in the ovens too long. Be careful prying them off cuz the corners crack/break very easily.

Maybe I'll check out the junkyard and see if there are any tails I can practice on.

I'm jealous of your tint.

Actually, what cars share our taillights? Legends? Accords? Isn't there something else? Hmm, I'm getting ideas...

None. TL taillights are unique.

Looks good bro.

I'm pure stock and not very into mods, but yours is tight. If I ever modded mine it would be to look like yours.

that shits clean, dog.. Are you dropped on prokits? I'm not sure but I think your windsheild wipers stick up way too much?? by the way, you have the same name as my old man - hung nguyen

EDIT: one more thing, you have the word "ROMANCE" on the front of your car anywhere?? I see the reflection of the word on the window of your house.

The TL is dropped with Sprint Sport springs...it's supposed to be a 1.75" drop but I think it's more of a 2" drop. It's a nice drop to compliment the size of the wheels IMO.

Wish I've done my clear tail when I had my car, it was way too expensive to buy the JDM one.
