Thanks for the compliments. I bought it all during the group sales in the Blackmarket section. The vendor is Rockblocker. Great service! I try to keep my eyes open for any group buys and this one caught my eye. Install of the tint was pretty easy, just be patient. I also just installed blue tint on the side mirrors today. The tint you can buy anywhere, by Gila, light blue. I'll post a few pics later.

Sorry, not trying to flame you or anything, but I REALLY don't like the headlight tint. It looks like are trying to have a cheap HID-look when you already have HIDs... so why? And what do the orange corner lights look like shining through blue tint?
I like fog tint, and the tail light tint isn't bad but I'd leave mine alone (I have a red TSX so they blend in anyway).

Hey LoveMyTSX,
Did you said the fitment is perfect? I got mine last year, it's pretty close, but it's about 1/2 inch bigger than the tail-light original size. Did you need to trim it w/ a blazer?
My tinted tail along w/ sidemirror turn signal.

Correction, my headlight tint had a good fitment. Your correct on the tail light smoked tint, it's a tad bit larger than the lens. I used an exacto knife to trim it. BTW, your PWP look HAWT!!!

He would like to watch you put your goodies on. Perhaps we can make a meet of it. What do you think? Rod things the light blue headlight tint would also look good on his PWP.
i will get the number of the guy with the shop here local and see if we can set something up otherwise it might have to be a whole weekend thing.

Does this Rockblocker film have the temperature requirements many adhesives do? IE, install in 60* weather or warmer? Because I want to put on some dark smoke head and tail film (as well as the side mirror LED strip) but I may have to wait until spring, since I live in CT and it's around freezing all the time now.
Thanks for anyone who can help!

Most stuff like that needs to be done in warmer weather. Wait until spring.
Does anybody know how the taillight and mirror blinker film holds up to road salt and car washes?

The only thing I have a problem with is the fitment, and my first cut last winter wasn't perfect, so I'm planning to RE-DO it this summer.
FYI: DO NOT install the RB film if you are in a FREEZING area, it is very hard to install it properly.
As far as the quality, it's good. After a full year, it still looks shiny and new. I usually wash my car every week @ home in summer, or coin-wash in the winter, still no wear and tear. There's alot of salt on it too in the winter, but it doesn't seems like a problem for me.
Quick notes: It attracts more dust/particles then the rest of the car (body), it might not be true, but it looks so obvious when the RB tint is on. You will see a "thin" film of dust (white stuff) when your car is dirty, or have salt. I usually wipe it off w/ water if it gets serious, because during day-time I'm afraid the car behind me can't see my brake signal clearly.

hey lovemytsx where did you get tints for your side mirrors?
btw i found these on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Headl...spagenameZWD1V
I'm guessing they're similar quality as the ones OP has for half the price. I'm pulling the trigger as soon as the weather stablizes a bit
