Hey everyone, I'm trying to see if anyone is interested in tail light tint film. If we can get 5-10 interested 01-03 CL owners to reply then Rockblocker will perhaps start production on them. What i'm talking about is film much like wondow tint to be applied over the tailight to created a darker look to them. check out www.rockblocker.com for more information and pictures. There was also a group buy for TSX and 04 TL tail light tint here

 

yea i am interested ..how much would this cost???

 

probably arround $40

 

word sounds good...but im about to get 03 tails i think..so i would be looking for the tints on the top clear portion only

 

You are not a vendor, not group sales....also, this is not the correct forum..

Contact Soopa or Astro

 

oh so now your an ankle biting moderator?. ... thanks for the heads up but the guys are not doing anything wrong....

rockblocker is a vendor.... and all they have to do is PM him.. but Rockblocker told gingerbread man that he will do a CL kit if there is interest.

so carry on..

 

Hey guys,

I have two customers interested right now. We just three more and we will get a pattern made of up for you guys/girls. Costs will be around $50.00 we will try to get down to $40 if we can..no promises.

what exactly will it cover? Can we get it to cover the lower half only (on the '03s, I'm regarding only the red part)?

 

i'm sure you could easily take a razor blade to it dem. come on guys i really would like to get some of these!!!

 

I can't seem to find any pictures of this film on any cars? Can someone provide some pics please, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is an example of what they would look like.



You could trim the part down to the area you wanted to cover pretty easily.

 

I'll stop.....

 

I'm in!!!!

 

What % is the tint? Are there gonna be different options?

 

Wouldn't this thing peel off or scratch with time since it going to be on the outside instead of the inside of the housing

 

i believe there are 2 different types of tint, a light and dark. also the film shouldnt peel or scratch unless you really try to peel/scratch it

 

I'm in if they are 50 bucks shipped.

 

Yes someone could scratch or peel it off, but if you are worried that it is a porcelain doll the answer is no. The material is made from a high impact resistant vinyl made to withstand punishment.

I'm in too!

 

is it illegal to cover just the red part of the 03 CLS taillights?

 

In California, yes. In the U.S., the DOT prevents the "removal" of red reflecting lenses and material off vehicles.

I would play it safe and just get a light enough tint that can still allow the lights to function. IMO, the last thing I want to do is prevent someone from seeing my rear end in bad conditions.

 

For legality in your state please consult the Highway Patrol. Installing the film i done so at your own risk.

 

do we have enough people yet rockdog?

 

I don't want to step on toes here, but just so you know www.c-c-c.net also offers a film tint for the CL.

Its $24.99 and you can check it out here:

Hope this is OK to post, www.c-c-c.net is also a sponsor here. I just wanted to pitch some alternatives incase anyone was interested. There's also a pic of what it looks like in the link.

 

We're talking about the whole tail light, specidically the 01-02 tail lights

 

It's still valuable from a price comparison perspective. I think $35-40 is approximately what it should cost for an entire tail light tint kit. That said, I'm down to get one

 

I've counted about 6 so far.

 

isnt there a spray-on version? i want to tint my tails, but havent seen anyone show pics of the final product.

i'm also guessing you could cover any area you dont want tinted

 

here are some pictures of 01' taillights with the nightshadez spray on tint courtesy of bgsm1th his thread is located here
Before the tint:

After the tint:


After the tint with the lights on:



wit the tint film it will be an equally spread tint, it will also shine alot better than the spray. another plus is that the film will be alot easier to remove if you had to or didnt like the way it looked.

 

wow...that's dark.

i like how the tails blend in to the black paint though...nice!

there are different grades/levels of spray tint, right? and the can of tint is about $20???

 

yea prob 20, you can apply different levels with the spray yes, but stop talking about the spray this is tint film either yes or no!!!!

 

I'm not getting it if it's that dark. Wouldn't look very good on a red car, but looks good on the black one.

 

If its 20% tint film count me in

 

Lets go people show me your interest

 

I'm interested, but not if it's that dark. Do you have a pic of what it would actually look like? I want it darker, but on that one pic it's almost black. It would look horrible on a Red CLS.

 

Well that depends what year you have, if you have the 03 model i think it would look pretty good matched with your black headlight housing. I dont have an actual picture because theres no film for the CL yet. I'll get you a picture of it on a TSX though...

 

I have an '01. I cleared and painted my headlights housings black so it looks like an '03. I like that one on the TSX, it's not as dark as the previous pic. Again, I'm in if it looks like the TSX one.

 

loxllxol
SSM TSX

 

I like that one. I think it looks a little like the new SL65 AMG, which is a little darker than ours. How many people do we have?

 

6 or 7 I bet more will want them after they see them on my car hahahaha
