Just got my taillights tints done...

I took it to the shop where I got my tints done. I didn't go with the completely blacked out ones because I still wanted people to see when I am braking. Took the guy about 45 minutes to do and it came out very nice. Gives the TSX a semi stealthy look. At night, when you turn on your headlights, you can clearly see the lights and you can also see the brake lights and reverse lights quite brightly.

Last three pictures are taken with a cell phone

Enjoy!













and I got my Acurazine sticker!!!

Not sure whether I like it on CBP or not. I don't mind it as much on lighter colored cars.

I would have done the 3rd brake light on the spoiler too, possibly even the bumper reflectors. They sort of stick out like a sore thumb now.

tinted taillights are very hard to do right..in my opinion...but yours doesnt look too bad. I suggest blacking out the chrome window trim and debadging your acura and tsx haha. it will really complete that murdered out look

In CA, you'd get a ticket if the police really want to pull you over. The white lights\lens have to be white. Always wondered how bright it would look at night with the tint on.

It would probably look good in Milano Red and whatever red we have in the states. Probably Vortex blue too

Well I live in Boca Raton, a bit north of that, I got my tints for my windows and tail lights at Power Audio near where I work. They do a pretty good job.

Thanks, I should check out that for the rest of my lights.

that was definitely a nice ride. I used to own one. what rims were those?, couldn't tell cause there was dark and a lot of "scenery". heh. yea i didn't go completely blacked out because i still wanted to see the lights at night. yea that plate seems to give me away to a lot of ppl.

I had seen a white one with factory kit and tinted tails, i think the headlights may have had tint as well, i didn't have a clear view but man alive did it catch my attention. Very, very sharp looking.

I kinda like the look on a black car, personally not as much on another color. The only reason I wouldn't use them would be on account of attracting attention from Occifer Friendly.

I call these types of mods "Hanging Doughnuts" as in dangling them from the bumper of the car. =)

Wow old thread revival, umm I believe they used Llumar for the tints, and for the percentage its probably like 30%, when I brake, you still can see the red relatively clearly

I love the rear wing, is that the Honda/Acura OEM one?? Tinted rear lights look good, too!

Do you have any pics of your car with the Enkeis fitted?

Thanks

I had the tint on my tailights and they looked black, but you could still see the tails when the lights were turned on.

I like how you can see the red hinting through, looks clean.

Lol, didnt notice it was an old thread... not many threads in here yet. Im used to the TL side where the whole first page are recent threads
