when i saw this thread, i was thinking "oh a hellaflush tl thread, might be worth it to take a look"

i guess i was wrong.. has tag is very confusing..

 

Haha I agree with Potz. Cool hashtag but you gotta have an "Iller" TL lol I use #1SikhTL for mine.

 

it looks okay.. personally i would not tint things that are made to inform vehicles that i am turning.. or signaling.. just my personal opinion.. a light tint is ok, but completely black is a no no..

 

this thread and #hashtag lied to me.
I want my money back

 

I hope you like T-Bones and I'm not talking steaks.

 

its actually not that dark, i think its 35% tint

i havent gotten a ticket yet, and i've seen people in my area with way worse, completely blacked out

its getting there! hoping to lower it & put vossen cv7s soon




yea i've seen yours, kinda where i got the idea from...we follow eachother on instagram, your car is sickkk

 

I hope it lives up to the hashtag lol

 

Glad I'm not the only one that felt lost here...lol. Goodluck!

 

Maybe title the thread like this when you get to that point?

I too was lost and confused about seeing one picture of a stock car...

 

Terry-I have merged your two threads together. No need to make 2 separate threads for the same car.

Also, there is a Multi-Quote button here on AcuraZine. It's the middle icon in the lower right hand corner of each post. It allows you to respond to more than one person in a single reply. Your response will look like Post #8.

 

I like the tinted turn signals. Give the car a different look.

 

I just got my 2013 tinted the other dy and now to start modding..

 

Havent seen anyone else with this mod so i decided to give it a try, carbon fiber wrapped the stock grille myself.

 

be careful with that rear plate cover, i had a frame which covered half of the New Jersey name, got pulled over for it.

I like your c.f. wrap of the grill insert! I have thought about doing the same to mine.

Was is tough to get it smooth?

 

it was actually pretty easy, i used a heat gun while doing it....the only tough part was going around the Acura emblem & getting rid of bubbles there

 

LOVE......this.

 

i had some carbon fiber left over so i decided to do the piece under the trunk as well

 

Looks pretty good!

 

Looks clean

 

Thumbs up! Looks clean.

 

I like the carbon fiber wrap.
Does anyone know the durability on this?
Also wondering how this will look on a CBP....

 

I would not recommend it; if car is a daily driver.

This stuff does not hold up well, at all, in direct sunlight.

Look into hydro dipping options.

 

The carbon fiber on the silver looks excellent!

 

Agreed, loving the look on the silver... wondering what it would look like on my CBP!

As long as you use quality vinyl wrap, like 3M, you shouldn't have any issues with fading in the sunlight or peeling if applied properly. The great thing about it if it does have a problem you can just re-wrap it.

 

i used the 3M carbon fiber vinyl wrap, its supposedly long lasting with outdoor life 8 years...its really easy to put on, its self adhesive with bubble free air pocket release and when heated with heat gun/hair dryer it stretches and shapes perfectlyyy

 

To wrap, did you take the piece off first or did you apply the vinyl on it directly?

 

i wrapped it directly on the car

 

 

It's quite pathetic that you need AZ so bad to have to resort to making other alliances after being banned. What's worse is that you didn't learn from past mistakes and continue to act the same way.

 

I think you could sell these......have a white 2013 TL would look sweet
