awesome can't wait to do this.

 

Jnc is the messiah of headlights and tails. Do work...

 

...nice...

 

Thanks guys

Ryan, PM me about those tails you were talking about, I might take you up on your offer.

 

 

DAMN...the flat black is hot...

 

Yessir, just got the new paint in and it is by far the best matte black that I have ever used.

We decided to paint the silver ridges hi-gloss black, one of the headlight is done, I'll post better detailed pictures tomorrow or so when both of them are done.

 

Headlight details


4G TL headlights
Blacked out V2
Matte black
Hi-gloss black painted ridges
TSX-R lens swap
Custom cut off shields.
















First of I’d like to thank CleanCL for trusting me with a brand new set of 4G tails just so that we can experiment with them and see if they can be opened in one piece and be modified, this set was truly a labor of love as I love to experiment (usually on my own expense rather than the customer’s :p). Hats off to you sir.

Retained red and smoked diffusers

 

It's amazing how JnC can make a piece of plastic look like sex. My hats off to you for pulling off the tails. I'm glad I live so close, it only takes a day to ship.

 

You guys are fast JNC~
I was going to paint the taillight too but now guys did it first already~~
nicely done tho~~^__^

 

I'm in love with the lights.

Just a tease until I get some more pictures upload.

 

Look very hot on the black, great work JnC!

 

Details

4G Tails
Blacked out, all non functional reflective surfaces are painted black giving the tails smoked out appearance. The main bezels are painted glossy black.

 

Damn... Time to do my tails!!!

 

BTW here is a comparison between regular blacked out and the smoked out one.


Regular



smoked

 

smoked is hot

 

Ya smoked FTW

Can't wait to put these things on. Great work again! Pics to follow. Hopefully Monday night.

 

When you say "regular" tails, do you mean "stock" or a different mod that you've done that's different from the smoked mod?

 

Regular means that the only the silver bezel is painted in the tail light, smoked means that the reflectors behind the diffusers are given a smoke affect along with painting the bezels black.

Just for reference here is what the stock TL tail light looks like.

 

Quick question ... are you dremmeling these open or baking them?

looks sick!!

btw... couple of ebay auctions for 4G headlights... maybe its time you invest for your trade in program... looks like the 4G is getting pretty popular these days

 

JnC those tails are hot!!

 

Tails coming tomorrow . F-cking UPS. 2-day shipping BS!

 

cant wait to see it on WDP... i know i wanted to do something to my tails.. but definitely no tint overlays/spray.... im liking JnC's tails!!

im thinking... smoked red, with the clear part still being crystal... and the silver bezel trim left alone....

Photoshop here i come!!

 

I am digging your idea a lot! Hope u go wid it.

 

Alright here are some quick pics. Posting some better night pics later and better day pics tomorrow. Once again great job by JnC!

Before

After

 

straight smoke show...love it..

 

amazing, i don't understand why Acura doesn't offer options like this.

 

Why would an automaker be offering smoked headlights/taillights, alternative grills, etc.?......the vast majority of the buyers are families and non-enthusiasts who could care less about any of this stuff. That's what aftermakets are for.

 

Looks great, JnC does quality work. Now you just need chrome turn signal bulbs to get rid of the amber color in the reflector.

 

Good suggestion. Can you send me the link where you picked them up?

 

JnC question:

How long to do you bake the tails for? and at what degree?

I want to open mine and I know they aren't like headlights and can't be kept in there too long.

absolutey love it! can't wait to get mine done.

 

Yes, dremel it is.

I thought about that but for now the interest is not great enough for me to invest in the tails, priority still is headlights as thats the main gig.

Tails are sealed using permanent adhesive, so I have to cut them open and then reseal them using epoxy.

 

Actually LEDs might be even cleaner. Surely when their used. autolumination.com

 

Hey NoelMarley, when are the lighted up tail light pics coming?

 

I know I've been lagging. Just got back into town. Will try to take some shots tonight.

Think the tails would look good on the Mayan Bronze, but don't quite know about the heads. Possibly the only 6-speed color that couldn't benefit?
