Tinted some lights (lots of pics)

[Melt]

Anyhow, I read a how-to on Nwhonda.net so I went down to walmart and got myself an axius winshield tint strip for $3.

Corners



Bumper lenses



Taillights


I dont like the way the tails turned out so I will probably end up taking the tint off and painting em later, maybe something like what this guy did with his accord.

that looks good. I wonder if you could do that to the headlights?

[Melt]

I considered the headlights, but they have those damn nipples sticking out of them that I would have to cut around, so I said the hell with it, figuring it would look gay.

I would like to get a set of clear tailights and spray them with that.

The bumper lenses were really easy, the tails were aight, and the corners were a bitch cause they have a little bit of writing on em so I had to keep squegeeing to get all the bubbles out of the tint while it dried.

Its a 4dr, there aint shit for aftermarket lighting made for it, I was suprised to even find clear corners and bumper lenses for it.

Thats what the guy with the accord (shown earlier in this post) did with his, he also made a set of red/clears, but painted the INSIDE of the lense, below are some pics of that

Thought about it, but I think the tint would start to peel and chip and whatnot really easily, so I'm gonna pass.

I painted my tails with candy apple grape paint, they say to use candy apple cherry I think it is, but I used grape and it looks pretty good.

got any left? I wouldnt mind doing just my bumper lights....it would look good on my gray bumper ...but dont wanna buy a whole windshield strip.

Update, so it was raining today and when I got to school both of the corners tint had come off. Bumper lenses and taillights are still on there pretty good

Greg: Yea, I still got a little bit, more than enough to do your bumper lenses.

[crxlvr]

they look good, but if they fall off in the wet how good can they be. my friend just opened up his bumper lights and sprayed em with black paint, looks sick, ill try to get a pic.

The guy with the accord with the red/tints shown earlier in this thread had his tinted with the good shit and not the "insta-cling" shit I have. Maybe I will try that on the corners.
