I want to black out the tails on my TL and TSX. How is it done.

 

you mean tint it? search

 

paint it.

 

lol

 

lol y paint when u can tint? besides tinting is reversable process...

 

yeah rockblocker !!

50 bux

make sure u have someone help u i tried doing it myself n it was hard

one person hold the film while the other use the squeegie thingy and applies

^^ im preddy sure thats not how u spell it

heres mine

 

go on ebay, they have one that is a vinly and u can remove it when u need to.

btw, are all those cars urs? wow

 

TL mine Tsx lil bro and sister has RSX

Sorry should have said TSX is my bros.

But I am the one that does all the upgrades. For the TSX a system and spolier and call it a day.

 

 

^ yea thats the one on ebay,in my opinion, it looks better with the top (white part) left normal though.

ill show u pics if u want. i also have a WDP

 

This is mine

 

Show me...

 

personally i think leaving the top white makes it stand out too much but its better than tinting the whole thing.....it makes the white seem strange....but i have an idea for some custom rear tinting and i've talked rockblocker and its workable.....but i have to do the custom part myself.....

 

hey view pics here.

let me guess, is it tinting everything except the square for the backup light?

 

When you tint the headlights, how visible are the headlights at night? Does anybody have pics?

 

hey Steven, but if u tint the white part. it actually looks light blue. thats why i took it out.

 

nope and you'll never guess it......

 

Just a guess, but are you gonna cut the rockblocker to make it light up an Acura sign or something like that?

 

yeh i was thinking he would do something ricey like that too...
why are people wanting to waste time on something as useless as the look of your taillights... i think stock is great

 

no.......

me doing some rice shit becareful.......why you look at the pics of my car and see if i've done some ricer shit.....before you even hint at me doing some shit

haha i just saw a tl with only cosmetic modifications
but its cool; to each their own.. good luck w/your build

 

your special huh.......

 

Im using a tint spray especially made for lights called VHT NiteShade. It looks real good on taillights to blackout. Also buy clear coat to put on after to give it the shiny look still

 

^x2 thats what i used but didnt clear coat it and still looks shiny, and it is reversible, just take some paint thinner and smear it lightly and wipe it off. repeat if necessary.

 

I want to get mine tinted also, but the white part left alone. What percent would be decent to get, without the cops noticing it to much. Can you just get it form ebay?

 

Anyone know where I can get a 50% tint film?

 

i tinted my taillights...except i had them paint by acura...heres a pic

 

IS that tinted or painted form the inside? I wouldnt want it too dark.

 

Any tint backlights on WDP ?

 

IMO to thats the look on our cars. UR second on this site ive seen with that. I even got the clear spoilerlight to match but still havnt had the time to order the tint and cut and put it on. Im sure that takes a steady hand and patience

 

here is mine when i had mine tinted(its a WDP) I am back to stock because i think it looks cleaner but here is what it did look like

 

everyone says its irreversible? i was thinking the same thing about using paint thinner and figured it would come off that way.. have you ever actually tried it?

 

i havent tried it but i saw ppl do it and it works

 

this is one of my next mods..the 1/2 and 1/2 like the WDP above

 

if you do decide to spray paint your lights, be sure to cardboard and newspaper everything. freaking overspray is like bad rap music, it's errrrrwhere.

i spray painted my rear lip and i got a nice clearcoat on my front windshield

 

^just take the lights out, 5 8mm bolts behind the carpet lining.

 

Im about to go to my local flea market and get it done. Them people dont give a damn about the laws and just need money. They do good work too. Should get the front windshield tinted as well too. Florida heat be killing it.

 

i dont think its illegal..i had mine sprayed by an Acura paint guy...he popped the lights out...taped the clear part off...and sprayed black clear coat on it..on the OUTSIDE of the lights...when i turn my lights on at night...you cant tell they have been painted black at all..only when the lights are off..my lights shine through the paint perfect and i doubt ill ever get harassed about it..i wouldn't do it any other way besides clear coat of black...i have friends who used film...didn't look so hot...spray paint (made for tinting the taillights) WAY to dark and looked like cardboard had been put over the lights it was a terrible texture looking shit...if you don't leave the clear alone..i personally think it looks terrible as well...but its totally up to the person who owns the car the just my 2 cents...hope it helps
Total cost- 50$

 

True that. What I meant by illegal is, all the tint shops I asked were like we don't specialize into that, we have to abide my state regulations (I had a argument over it), and I simply came to a conclusion of just going to a private shop, that works "under the table". I know for a fact if you can see the tail lights at night from a certain distance, then you are fine. It's only when visibilty gets blocked, then it becomes into a issue. Im suprised Acura did yours, they were fussing about my mods when I had to get warranty work done, and suprisingly they got bitched at to a whole new level. But, I'm using tints just in case I ever get tired of it.. Thanks for the input tho and sweet setup.
