Well everyone wants to smoke their sidemarkers, tails and or headlights. I am attempting to make that a reality. I had some spare time so I worked on a sidemarker today and I'm happy with the results. You can see the lit and non lit pictures, so you can tell that it takes away almost no light when lit up so it doesn't hinder night time visibility. Let me know what you think. I should have the tailights and headlights done by the end of the month

 

pretty impressive.....points for you.....

 

meh

 

meh....

btw it wasn't secret cuz u told me on aim and i told few other people

 

i can understand smoking, cigarettes, or even weed. but smoking sidemarkers? what has this world come to?

 

not feelin it. sorry...

not as shiny, really really dull paint. and worse of all, over time.... its gona fade and get even worse. trust me....

i'd be interested in having the same exact side marker cover like the front... put on the back

 

 

 

Looks good, nice work.

 

i like it, can we get a full side profile shot of the car with it? maybe that will dissuade some people's opinions on it not being a nice mod

 

it is not paint

 

id like to have the same smoke cover as the front too, but the front cover isnt the same as the back one.

what did u use too smoke the cover? and is it put on the inside or outside of the cover? id like to have that done on my car too.

 

ya, i know the front isnt the same shape as the back.... too bad! wish som1 would make it. it'd look sooooooo nice

 

yea that looks really good!!

I already did that right after I got my Car last year.

How did you manage to take the markers off. Was it easy to take off. And how did you do it??

 

I didn't take anything off. I was using the plastic paint spray to spray it evenly. I can use the alcohol to remove it if I want.

 

It will still remove the gloss coat shine it once had it will look dull when compared to original.

 

so what did u use to do it? whats the name of it and how is it done? thanx

 

They will probably bring otu smoked side markers, but If i were you I would wait to see if clear side markers came out, that would look nice match the color of your car!!!! SPICY

 

its actually exterior smoked vinyl, lasts a very long time, doesn't fade, and is translucent so it doesn't remove any brightness from the lights. During the day and night, the tails, sidemarkers or what not are smoked. I have to order more material, I believe the roll is quite long, so I can sell the extra to you guys, I just have to find out exactly how much is needed and also contact Soopa and get info on how to be a vendor on the site. Don't PM me, I'll post in this thread when I have the info

 

I like it, looks good

 

looks good, at least you're trying something creative

 

any more pixxx of this completed mod?

 

yeah im interested as well, I think I may just have to tint spray mine though to make it look a bit cleaner than this...

 

All of you have smoked your sidemarkers w/ some sort of spray. Well I'm here to tell you that I actually have smoked rears that exactly match the fronts with Honda Logos on them. Little secret....expect to see them on 2008 models. I have the inside scoop and I'm the only one with them in the whole US right now since I have the inside scoop in Honda.

 

How was that done? Was it done by regular tints?

 

No they weren't done with tints. These are actual pieces for upcomming TL's. They are from a test vehicle and light up amber at night just like the fronts.

 

Just do not get in a wreck where you are at fault - the plaintiff's lawyers look all over the place for any non-standard equipment, bulbs, etc. If they can convince the typical nitwit jury that your mods were a proximate cause, it can cost ya.

I know of a case personally where a kid put on some sequential tailllights (on a Mustang) , gray market, not DOT-approved, and the plaintiff's attty was all over his case, and the jury found negligence. Ouch!

 

I believe it when I see it.

 

yup, I think its

 

pics first. fingers typing second ... inside scoop ... some people have nothing better to do I guess

 

Yeah, pics? Didn't think so...oh, wait, let me guess, "Honda said I couldn't post pics of them...blah, blah, blah..."

cTLgo's right, BS, plain and simple.

 

All of you think your so funny. Funny not, ignorant yes. Anyways pics will be on the way. Don't hate as this is exactly what it seems like. I'm the special one and well you all a fake mod.

 

"i'm the special one"

 

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are special; along with everyone else.

 

Of course we're all special, that's why everyone who participated got medals...

 

I'm pretty sure the mod is realistic, I can touch it. Others can touch it too!

 

Alright fellas, I'm not sure if this is going to work. I really didn't lnow how to use image shack and transfer the photos here. Help would be nice.

that looks legit, howeve without the new tailights from the 06 on tl, that doesnt look great. The new taillights have to resemble the a-spec concept, because that grey doesnt look right by itself. Mark my words we will all be doing tail light conversions to the new 06 tail lights, they are going to be that hot.

Fitz

pure speculation of course, but i know acura wouldnt sell a car without new tailights for the 06 year
