Had some tail light tint sitting around for the past couple days. Didn't have a chance to get it on before the meet this weekend. Couple hours of heating and stretching this shit...what a pain in the ass! Steady hand with the razor and bam



close-up of the handywork!


before and after!


all done!

 

lets see some pics! on the car

 

You did a really really good job on that. I tried to do it but ended up doing spray tint, looks good though

 

x2 on the pics on the car!

 

Were these the pre-cut tints?

 

Haha, yeah i'm snapping some as soon as I go outside, i'm so happy with how these turned out!

Yes these were the pre-cut tints. I only wanted to cover the bottom half, so once I had it applied I just used a razor to cut the top half off. Very slowly, and very carefully so I didn't cut through and scratch the light.

 

I tried using that precut stuff awhile ago and it didnt work out for me. Looks good though.

 

Yeah it was a pain in the ass to get on...never again hopefully. I'll post the pics when I get home.

 

Alright, sry for the late pic.



It looks a little darker here than in person. The sun was setting, but this is really close to how it looks!
Now I just need my '03 headlights and I'll be set!

 

I just used VHT smoke tint on my tails, you can see my car here silver CL type s on a spec wheels

Check post 154 im the only silver CL you cant miss it.

 

Yeah I think I've seen your car man. Where you at the Milwaukee meet this past weekend?

 

Nah had to take my moms to work so I could work on her car, had to change her timing belt, water pump, and change the oil.

 

I used pre-cut film for my tails too. I just bit the bullet and paid a tint guy to install it for me, cause I would know I would have troubles anyways.

looks like you used the dark shade correct?

 

Oh alright. I thought I saw your car at the meet. There was one really similar. Well your's and the other one are two of my fav white TL's. Lookin good man

Yeah I went with dark. Really happy with how it looked. Wanted to match the spoiler light tint I had. Just out of curiosity what did it cost you to have him do it? Took me a while...curious what to charge if someone ever asks me to do it again...lol.

 

Thats a sweet look... good job!

 

Thanks

 

He charged me 30 dollars, and he was a mobile guy too. He was the cheapest because everywhere else was 50-60 dollars.

Think your gonna get hassled by ?
