I'm smoking my rear and headlights, what should I buy thats best value? LaminX?

 

nightshade?

 

Some smoke paint at the hobby shop. Then remove them from the car and spray till its the color you want.

 

Laminex your heads yellow, badass IMHO.

 

if you smoke both the tail lights and headlights post pics im thinkin about smoking them BOTH black, get carbon fiber hood, tint all windows, black coat stock rims and get sum really REALLY bright fogs and call it a day as far as looks go. then i can keep building my N/A motor!

 

20strong: Will that work good? and I dont want bubbles so will that work?

I'd go with laminx, because you're gonna get ticketed for them if a cop sees them, smoked headlights and taillights=bad

 

Yeah it works. It is not permanent either cause you can take it of with some nail polish remover and elbow grease. I love it, I smoked my tails just a little to take the edge of the red. I am going to do LED's when I get home and smoke them darker though.

 

Why smoke them darker if they're the single thing that keeps other drivers aware of your intentions? If you brake and they can't tell during the daytime, get rearended, and the police come out, you COULD be held accountable by the other person's insurance company because your lights are illegally blackened.

A light tint is OK, not legal, but at least harmless enough...blacking out is asking for trouble.

 

I had my tailights all smoked (actually lamin-x called what I got charcoal) But I didnt like the way it made the back end look. The lights are kick *** when I got to looking at em. So i just left a section charcoaled.

 

 

ewww. but for the effert

 

u guys do know the leds on our tail lights are pretty weak...
now add some tint to it...and viola...on a sunny day, you suddenly stop and t he guy behind you can't see you're applying the brakes and BAMN!
who's at fault?
you...why?
modifying lights that do not comply with DOT is illegal and you will be fined for modifying headlights, copyright infrigment, wreckless driving, etc...

Well mine is just the signal...so i I'm safe.

And trust me buddy, cause i got a ticket for speeding and he didn't say anything about my tailights

Maybe I was lucky.....?

 

i agree too a light smoke tint is ok even tho you'll get pulled over but the tint ideal is great removeable and easier and no mess compared to spray can. And yes maybe you got lucky but again i woud maybe apply a light light (very light) tint

Just smoking the clear part where the taillights and reverse lights are is fine, but the people talking about blacking out their whole taillight...that's just asking for trouble.

 

yeah i HAD them all tinted. Honestley I didn't think it did anything for the car looks wise.

We have bad *** lights!

 

I agree, the coupe's lights look great, I dont know why anyone would mess with them!

 

personal experience: some guy was on highway with blacked tail lights, wasn't a civic, didn't have a wing stop lights like us civic. Couldn't tell when he is breaking when sunlight reflect on his stop lights. Bottom of the story, I got out of the lane where he was in, and so did everybody else behind me. Very dangerous imo.

But then again, it does look pretty cool lol I was temped once... still temped actually to put something over it to make it darker... but... have... to... be safe....

 

reverse lights only tinted...still pretty bright

First pair of smoked lights I have seen that actually look good... ever...


That looks REALLY good actually. I really am not a big fan of smoked tail/heads whatsoever either..
