looking good but the tails don't really have that gloss to them. is that tint or paint?

R1L3Y

paint, and in person they do its a phone pic sorry but ya if i get more time i might polish them up with some compound again

99AcuraTL03

x2 on painting the h black...Also, wash her man!

But I have used Niteshades a few times, and the glossiness depends on how many coats you apply...

R1L3Y

hmmmmmmm what about a sort of gunmetal chrome for the H? and NO i like her dirty!!!! but seriously i will wash her it rained today so i didnt have time or the effort. and ya i only applied three i didnt want em too dark i should prolly clear coat them a few more times too

99AcuraTL03

gunmetal chrome would look sick. and yea apply more clear!

Good job on the tinting. I hated doing mine the first time I did it.

R1L3Y

thank you, and i know this was my fourth attempt the other three were with the film that was such a pain so i just said screw it and took the tailights off and sprayed em pretty easy compared to the film though

use a squeegee and water if you wanted to tint it with vinyl.. shoulda not used niteshades stuff is pretty uneven imo. should get it to a bodyshop to tint with alittle bit of black and then clear it and polish any imperfections afterthat. then you get a oem look to it

Spraying is soooooo much easier than tinting.

I have an RC window tint spray that I used on my friend's tails on his Civic and they cam out soooo clean! They are dark too. We re-did them and it was very easy to remove the spray. Just use rubbing alcohol and that was it.

R1L3Y

i personally thought the night shades came out very even maybe it depends on how its applied just used some light even coats and came out fine. and ya i used the squeege and water and application fluid just got so frustrated bc of that curve plus i was to impatient plus i just felt more confident with the spray. and oh i didnt know you could just use rubbing alcohol to remove it i was thinking paint stripper

TLin401

Try it if you have to "remove the tint"

What'd you do to your reverse lights? They have a hint of blue to them.

myTLgoesBWAAH

on mine?

myTLgoesBWAAH

or the OP he just put blue reverse lights or super white bulbs.. no tint and same with the blinkers, just a bulb

R1L3Y

ya they are just super white bulbs for the reverse and sylvania blue turn signals they actually blink orange though..

myTLgoesBWAAH

blue turn signals but blink orange???

i think i would've kept the inspire lettering... looks too empty imo

R1L3Y

ya i know what you mean i think if the H was bigger it would look better but im thinking of converting back to an acura.............................up here in ohio no one knows wtf jdm is and always say to me why did you just stick honda emblems on your car and its really pissing me off

mlrskn06

iTrader: (2)

haha lol i bet... its funny i always got confused of that stuff too back as a kid... well when i was younger i guess but i think u should still keep the H just add the inspire back on =]
