Well, I will say I gave it a try. Installing the Rock Blocker taillight film is a lot harder than I thought. Does anyone in the northern Va area know if a tint shop would install these for me? As anyone had any luck w/ these? Luckily I only tried one so I'm trying to get a replacement. They look great but very hard to install.

Thanks!

No shops will usually install them since its illegal to tint taillights
VA is stricter than Maryland and I called all over

Read the instructions and take your time! Not difficult at all.

what happened to the rockblocker vendor on this site? where did you happen to get yours I want to tint my 2g

It took me a few tries to get it straight and smooshed on properly. It's not something that goes on perfectly at first, it takes a lot of massaging, followed by some cleanup work cutting the edges to be flush with a razor.

Yo.. csteele I can do it for you... shoot me a PM and we can figure something out. Im doing another members rockblocker and CAI this weekend... you are welcome to come over too and follow along if you want!!

I think he is still on here in the "off topic" section. I got mine directly from the website. www.rockblocker.com

That sucks...I didn't know they weren't legal. I don't feel like sweating inspections! I may just return them...I don't know. Sure wish they had the whole smoked tailights.

Ive never had any issues with the cops for my smoked lights.... I have smoke on the rears and sides and blues on the front... never had an issue

Phesto

thanks.........going to order this week

I just got mine inspected with the CAI (with sensor mod) and rockblocker and everything installed, for both emissions and safety. All they had to say was neat car, at Exxon.... I really don't think it's a big deal.

Up here they tried to bust me for tinted tails till I showed them the law which states brake lites need to be able to be seen at 300 feet on a bright day .. tail lights 100 feet on a bright day and both at a 45 deg angle. Nothing about how bright tho ..

What state do you live in?

The tail lights were the easy part.......wait till you try the side markers, that will test your patience.

jmbnova

I thought the sides were a piece of cake.... getting the tails to fit perfectly was a harder challenge for me.... just make sure you use the hairdryer.... makes it 100x easier

Yeah I used the hair dryer on the side but the uneven surface of the lights made it difficult for me. The rears went on good, I just made sure I stretched it enough that I had some slack that I could cut off for the perfect fit.

I must admit, the second set I did this weekend was ALOT easier than when I did mine....had to get the one bad one under the belt first!!

I hear ya there.....my passenger side is a much better fit than my drivers side.
But after seeing TL-CrAzIe-05 3G TL OEM Honda rear side markers yesterday at our meet I can not wait till Honda R&D puts them out!
