Anyone know where to get the tint film for the taillights? I tried ccc.net and they refunded my money.

Try rockblocker.

 

Rockblocker.


come on! you've been around long enough to know to search.

 

Thanks guys, ordered 20% smoked tint

 

no problem. what color CL do you have?

 

Anthracite, '03
I'll be getting 35% tint soon

 

ok, good. i was hoping you wouldn't say NBP. i bought them thinking i would love how it would look. when i was installing them, i took a long look at them and didn't quite feel it right.

in your case, it should look right at home. don't forget to put some pics up afterwards.

 

whats wrong with NBP?

 

nothing is. re-read my post. it says that i personally ended up not liking the tint on my taillights with my NBP.

 

what do you think of the tint on a PDG? debadged other than acura symbol/type S both blacked out?

 

Will do, I'm hoping the different tones of gray blend together well, which is why I didn't want to go with a darker tint on the windows...

 

can someone post up pics with the tails tinted with 20% vs. 35%. BTW I agree that dark tint on NBP just doesn't look right... it's TOO Black.

Also can you cut the rockblocker film so that you cover only the top part of the tail light?

 

I shall soon find out. According to their site it's a kit and it might be pre-cut to the CL's tail light specs but don't quote me on that...

 

Just curious brian, if you're getting 35% tint, why didnt you get the 35% taillight tint? I think it would blend in better.

 

The rockblocker tint is opposite to what window tint is. 20% is the lighter of the two, and it's pretty dark. It should match up with 35% window tint pretty well.

 

I knew that!

 

can you cut the film with an exacto knife?

 

actually, you will need to trim the excess film with an exacto knife.

i have the light rockblocker tail tink and love it! going on 2 years now and it's still shiny and has not taken a toll with my weekly gas station car washes

take your time during the install '''''patience''''' a good hair dryer is invaluable

 

Hey Jim,
I figured exactly what gaping said, that the 35% taillight tint would be too dark based on the DIY pics from NiteQwill.

As you can see I'm finally getting some of this stuff I have sitting around installed since it's finally warming up in Chicago. Car is in the shop now getting that body work done that we talked about and my lip spoiler came today, I just need to find a way to get it to them, cuz I want them to secure it with something other than the tape so it doesn't come up on the ends. My headers are being shipped to Jet Hot this week so you better try and run me before they get back...

 

Yeah, I'm definitely going to do a quality job. Where can I get an exacto knife from, any hardware store?

 

yes or walmart, where ever....are you going to cut it to fit just the top part? thats what i did, i loved it

 

Yeah, just the white part of the taillight. I can't wait to see how it looks...

 

nooo....you wanna tint the red part not the clear part.

 

QFT!!!! 1 stupid question tho, the tint goes out side the tail light?

 

 

Yep, but it's all weather so it will survive rain, etc as long as it's applied correctly...

 

I'm not kidding dude. Do you really plan on tinting the clear part and leaving the red?

and what's qft?

edit: n/m

 

Yeah, why would I tint the red part? I don't think it'll look right.

 

I think it looks good on my TW...

 

That actually doesn't look too bad. I like it reversed better though

 

I think that black on black looks good. its like having tinted windows on NBP. plus im going for a chrome/black look. what you think? chrome/black rims with chrome trim. chrome license plate frame. chrome grill surround since its a 01' and even the S on the type s is chrome. lol

 

and i say "fuck chrome!" therefore, i have gotten rid of all of it.

 

im the process of doing the same...looks tacky anyway

 

oh man, have you searched around for pictures of this? I have never seen someone just tint the clear part and leave the red. It just doesnt look right in my head. The red is always tinted. Either the whole thing is tinted or just the red part. That's why it's called "taillight tint".

Well, it's your car, so proceed, but I dont wanna hear any, "shit jim, you're right, I did it the wrong way". Goodluck buddy.

^^^this looks hot to me, I think it'll look even better on Anthracite^^^

 

But you have anthracite homey. Your body color is dark and if you're adding tint to it, everything on the car will be dark. The red is going to stick out to the eye too much IMO. Go with what you think man. I dont wanna persuade you into anything you dont wanna do. Be sure to give me a ring when you get some of this installed so we can meet up.

 

what do you guys think about tinting the top and bottom, but leaving the inch gap between the two red, so that you only have one stripe of bright red, while the rest is tinted, or almost black. depending on what tint you get of course.

 

Someone would have to make a photochop of what that would look like cuz I'm not testing it out on my car . Sounds interesting though...

 

How hard is it to take the film off of the tail light in case I don't like it?

 

I hear you. I'll hold it up in place before I put it on to see how it'll look, in my mind it looks nice though.
I'll give you a ring as soon as I get my headers back

Also, have you checked out the Meets section? They're planning something on May 5th...
