Hi, first thread in a long time... just wondering how people's taillight film holds up. Im in so cal so the weather is pretty stable.

Also, my TL is an 07, so has anyone like cut out slits/found somewhere that has the two white parts showing? I only want the tint to cover the red parts.

thanks in advance erbody!

 

Take your name into consideration, stay clean, not rice don't use the tint over lays. Tall to Ack and have him build you a set or stay stock. Just my

 

I was going to tint my tails as well and was thinking of cutting around the white part. It should look really nice. Ignore the "Rice Patrol" on this forum LOL...tinted taillights rice? What about blue rims and purple lugnuts?

 

I've bought from these guys and pretty happy so far.

well I think the smoked tails would look nice on my CGP (gunmetal-ish). my friend's gunmetal evo (in my avatar) has smoked tails with cutouts too and it looks really nice (and not ricey).

and I dont want to spend much on aftermarket for my car since Im getting a new one when I graduate. just playing around with the film since it costs $20 MAX.

 

I had ones from ebay, they held up thru a chicago winter and many many washes, until I removed them a year later, just to switch it up. They were like 15 bux shipped, and damn worth it!

 

Tint is ok temporarily...I had it on my headlights for a few months, but in the long run, you'd be happier with tails modded properly

AckTL05 is a master...

 

Anybody have pics off this. I'm interested on my Acura tl 2008 CBP. Blk red and keep white

 

I wanted to do this to my CBP TL 08. Post pics if u have any

 

Instead of messing with tint film, why don't you try some Nightshade spray tint? You can remove it with paint thinner . You can just spray a few coats on your tail lights, let them dry, then tape up the areas where you wish to keep them tinted, put paint thinner on a towel and wipe away the spray tint from the areas where you don't want it tinted.

 

I bought the ones from "rockblockers" 5 years ago. I have the lighter version on the tails and the rear sidemarkers. It is a thicker material than the typical EBay stuff. Still holding up perfectly like new. I never updated the tail lights as many have suggested. I am perhaps in the minority that actually like the 04-06 tail light design, just tinted over them just as they are.

 

Here are the 07-08 Base tails with the red pieces painted black. I know it's not on CBP but maybe someone with Photoshop can get a rendering for you.

 

^^^that looks good..but putting tint overlays are just a no-no

 

dang that looks really sick. i wish i had enough time to photoshop it to CGP LOL.
