if youre looking for a clear or "altezza" style tail light....youre in for a lecture..

newalbanylgnd39

maybe some one is selling a set in the black market, can't hurt to always have a spare... don't know what it'll cost ya though

Germ

ah i see. like you want some to borrow?....or some used ones?...you could try ebay..or the black market section of this site...sometimes they got people parting out their cars there...


got any pictures of your car?

newalbanylgnd39

ya my only problem is this... I live in Mass so I get potholes galore, i'll probably raise my shit higher than stock this winter than slam the hell out of it all over again come spring

I envy cali car owners for that reason

newalbanylgnd39

my fogs were installed new when the car was bought in 97. my dad was actually the one who installed them. hes worked for acura for 22 years. i bought the car from the 1st owner who was actually an older lady in her 60s for 4,000

tint is the only thing that is done as of now. i got a h22 block in the shop being fully built along with a "lil" turbo im going to be leaving it on stock ride height and stock rims. and give it the full sleeper look

and yes they are my stock rims

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

Nice! Good plans too.

oh and, what tint is that? It looks perfect for my car

Germ

yea ive seen those rims before...97 for 4k? im not sure if thats a steal or not but still pretty cheap. i missed out on this one deal...right after i bought my car i saw this 1999 RL that some older lady was selling for like 8k....mega low miles and it was garaged.....fuckin shit....i woulda bought that shit too and been on both the RL and CL forums...


anyway gnate we got pot holes here too...hella..especially here in the bay...but yo how much did you get your set for and where?

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

I'll tell ya as soon as I get em in 2-3 weeks! I just need $150 more dollas.

newalbanylgnd39

The fogs are OEM, they came as an option from the factory. New get rockblocker tail light tint

I dont think you'd need to take them out for so long to tint them, Mine were both tinted in a matter of a couple hours without taking them off the car.

Glad to hear about the H22 turbo, can't wait to see it!

South Jersey CL

at least you dont have the piss colored NJ plates.

newalbanylgnd39

i actually ordered nite-shade made by vht its a spray on. and it says 1 week no washing. i cant let my car get that dirty lol

klepto

i gaurentee you that our roads are just as bad, if not worse. Im tired of hearing the "you guys must have it nice with nice roads over in cali" in fact we have some of the worse roads in the nation.

klepto

should've just gone rockblocker. It's removable unlike the niteshade spray

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

I dont think they could be worse... but hell I haven't been there. Sorry to know i'm not the only one suffering!

gotguinness?

What part of MA you in? I'm in Dedham.


I used rockblocker and couldnt be happier with the way it came out.

Fitchburg, I think it is either just under an hour away or just over.

hey, im looking to order up a rockblocker kit, and i was wondering which one i should get, the 20% or 35%? i was thinking the darker one, but idk. thanks!





white '98 2.3 cl

Blind_Shooter

^^id get 20%

EDIT: i dont even know my own % on my lights and i didnt use rock blocker so nvm. darker looks better tho

benm93@gmail.com

yeah thats what i was leaning towards. i havent really done anything to my car yet, im waiting for it to get back from the body shop right now, and a fresh coat of white paint
im thinking im going to black out the lights, tint the windows, and drop it.
for the lights, i guess it covers the tail and head lights, i wonder if it looks odd with tinted head and tail lights, but normal amber turn lights. hmm.

Blind_Shooter

rockblocker makes tail light tint only. if you want to do the headlights and turn signals u have to cut and shape them yourself... and no the ambers dont look funny to me as u cant tell its tinted at night. i tried blue led's in there and it made a green light

stock ambers:

benm93@gmail.com

sweet pic. i think ill go for it, i think i white car with all the lights blacked out will look nice. and when i get the window tint too... yikes i cant wait.

South Jersey CL

^white CLs with smoked tails FTW. and you'll love the tint.

I have the 20% and love it, the 35 is too dark in my opinion especially for this area, where the cops would pull me over in a heartbeat, but I love the 20, you can see a hint of red, but still has the tint, and I get compliments on it all the time

DaInFaMMuS1

I prefer the darker tail light tint for some reason

benm93@gmail.com

do you have your headlights smoked out too or just your tails? would it look odd if i only did the tails?

South Jersey CL

^^not at all. if you want a reference look at the "got taffeta white" thread in the photo gallery, and klepto has just smoked tails.

Blind_Shooter

all of my lights r tinted. i also did the blackhousing which i kinda like better. but tint keeps my headlights always looking new. and everyone else only did the back when they did it. your car might look weird with everything tinted but thats your call. heres the car if you wanna see what it looks like:

gotguinness?

Anyone have a picture of a Black CL with the 35% rockblocker tint? I have the 20% on there now but I had to replace a tail light and need to get another set of the tint and was thinking I might try the 35%, any help would be awesome!

Thanks!

Chuckz car had 35 which is the darker, look at klepto's tail light thread there's pics

gotguinness?

Damn, those things are DARK! That would look total stealth on Black...Now i'm debating on doing it or not...hmmm. I've gotten many compliments on the 20%.

As a black car owner, personally I think it's too dark, of course I have to worry about cops with nothing better to do as well, or I may have gone darker
