Tints similar to Rockblocker?

I had rockblocker tints on my tails for years, they were fantastic and great quality. Never had an issues with peeling or bubbling, a little bit of fading issues. I recently had to take them off because a family member took my car in for inspection while i was away without asking. So now i am looking to re-tint them.

Unfortunately, every tint shop that i go to in my area (North Jersey) feels the need to charge 300+ for tinting the tail lights which i feel is absurd, because i bought the rockblocker tints for about 50 and paid someone to put them on.

Im looking for something pre-cut that is good quality preferably 3M, all the stuff i see on eBay, i am timid about even looking at those. Thanks guys!

Sorry, I can't help you out with your question, but I have a question for you; how the hell did you get all of that stuff in your signature?

I had rockblocker on my tC and was very happy with the quality. It doesn't appear they are around anymore though. I found this place in the TSX forums.

i came across this as well, but haven't found much in terms of quality, i liked that the rockblocker tints were perfectly cut and lasted a very long time, had i not taken them off, i think they would have lasted for years. All the nightmares ive heard of peoples tints falling off, just scares me, if im gonna drop 50 bucks i would hope they would last.

we used to have much more room for our signatures than we do now.

I almost didn't get rid of mine since I knew I could never get it all back again, then I thought, fuck it.

I didn't realize Rockblocker wasn't around anymore. It was like a rubber tint that protected against chips (hence the name). I actually got tired of them on my car, the type s tails look so much nicer. OP, you should be able to find someone in your area that will tint them for cheaper, that price is ridiculous. Isn't there some kind of spray tint available also?

not really looking for a spray tint, looking for something non permanent. I like the idea of being able to pull them off should i run into any problems/issues.
