Maybe you could try again tomorrow in the sunlight.

Yeah, some close-up shots would be nice to see how close the tint is covering the red.

CCColtsicehockey

well the tint is actually larger than the taillights so you use a razor blade to trim the around the taillight. I will take close ups but I did a poor cutting job.

dagigu

looks nice, could you plz get some shots of them in the sunlight!?
and maybe with the tail-lights on too (or it's already on?!)?

thanks a lot, it definitely looks good^^

Hmm... I was under the impression it's a simple peel and stick installation. It that the 20%?

doesn't look that good to me.. maybe i was expecting too much

xizor

some with the lights on would be good too

Chris_F

very cool... thats exactly how dark i'd want my lights to be... so there is cutting involved? more chances for me to stuff up the install haha. I'll more than likely order them now. a question CCColtsicehockey... you know how they tail lights arent completely flat (there is that slight bulge or peak directly in the middle of one of the "circles")? Was it hard to avoid bubbling around this area and in general during hte install?

Chris_F

oh 1 more thing.... any australians know if this is actually leagle in australia? I know theres something about having to have something red and reflective facing backward on the car... what the reflectors on our lower rear bumber count?

I'd like to see them with lights/brake lights/signals on if possible.

Looks hot in my opinion... take some daylight pics

Looks good, but could you take some more pics with the lights on? I'd like to know how much light gets through.

By the way, does anyone know the legality of a mod like this? I'm interested in doing something similar but wouldn't be if I'd fail inspection.

BlackTSX

That looks pretty cool, but i will reserve judgement until i see it in the day light and with the lights on...but it lookc promising!!

RMATIC09

looks good!

looks hot .... but need some more pics.... now you need to darken up your emblems. Somebody here has done it and it looks awesome.

CCColtsicehockey

CCColtsicehockey

I had gotten my car washed only for it to snow again last night.

MemRheins

thats cool, see how much easier it is to photoshop out the plate then take it off? lol... looks good, not my thing but yeah

TSX 'R' US

hey!! I like it!! Able to take night pics with them on? Or would you not even notice the film on there?

CCColtsicehockey

you really dont know that the film is even there when they are on but i will still take pictures.

dzuy

kinda weird looking.

you should have taken the whole tail light off then apply the film, that way you probably dont have to cut it.

foolioness

Man!! the tint looks nice on CG.......
It'll look nice on dark color TSX but I think on SSM it'll look weird

TSX 'R' US

yeah...ssm's look better with cleared out rear lights than tinted/dark ones...

Not that I'm ever going to get some cleared out rear lights

tsxondubs

looks pretty damn good to me

BlackTSX

That looks pretty good...dark enough for a tint but not dark enough that it defeats the purpose of the tails...i like it...would look good on a black one

BlackTSX

Colts -

What is the quality of the film...is it thicker then regular tint film or is it just window tint you apply to your rear lights?

CCColtsicehockey

it is actually really thick. I would say a little thinner than a cd.

BlackTSX

Thanks...i just wanted to make sure that it wasnt just a small peice of tint that you could pick up at a auto store. Thanks again!

dagigu

they look awesome!
but...am i the only one who thinks that the picture with lights on made no difference comparing to the lights off one??
CCColtsicehockey...how's the visibility of the tail-lights (when it's on) with tint film on? 50% less?!
me like those, but i wont go for it if they block the tail-light beam too much.

thanks!

NJtsx

please take some night shots with no light around

CCColtsicehockey

the light comes through fine that picture just did a bad job of showing it but i didnt have much time that day.

virtualbong

This pic is with your Greddy Evo2 right? It looks like it sticks out a lot. Do you have any pics that you can post here or PM me with that shows more of the exhaust at different angles. Thanks!

btw. the tinted tail lights look ok. I still like the contrast between the original red tail lights and the Carbon Gray.

CCColtsicehockey

here is the link to my installation post i did.

how much did you pay? and where did you get it? thanks

CCColtsicehockey

The tint I got from a vendor on the Site called RockBlocker I paid 48 including shipping but that is cause it was a sale it is normally 50 something.

I'm not knocking anybody's tastes because I'm a big supporter of "different strokes for different folks", it keeps the world interesting. However, I can't get into the tinted taillights. I like bright lights. I like to see where I'm going, for people to see me coming and I certainly want people to see me stopping, brighter's better with me.

I also agree with virtualbong about the contrast. It's also easy for me to determine if the car I'm coming up on is some new and interesting piece thanks to the newer and brighter tailights. Tinted lights of any kind dull that new car look for me.

Just my opinion, don't let it affect you. You got to doowutchyalike.

loxllxol

I have the tail lights on SSM and the contrast is GREAT! Also, the film DOES NOT affect visibility.

It lights up just as bright as compared to a tail light with no film.
