I came across this picture and I fell in love with the taillights. I think altezzas are too played out (that's just my opinion, though) and I was planning on keeping my factory '00 Civic taillights in. However, if I could find these smoked ones, that would be a lot better. Does anyone know where I can buy them? Or do I have to smoke them myself?

haha wtf, you can't link the pics to your hard drive. host them on imagestation.com or whatever and link it from there.

 

Ahhh... sorry. Maybe this will work...

we used tint spray on ours

 

So you spray the inside with tint spray?

 

You spary the outside, mask off what you don't want painted. My tails are all red except for the reverse light.

 

that dude has his T2K sides on backwards ... unless he's trying to be unique.

and just pick up some of that transparent paint stuff they have in hobby shops. I know they make one in red (Candy Apple Red). Probably have the smoked stuff, too. then just follow what the other guy said.

 

honestly in my opinon dont use the spray tint stuff.

just get yourself some transparent vynl. It sticks on like a sticker and can be peeled off when you get sick of the look!

You can get it from http://www.oracal.com

smokinlights.com will do my headlights, tail lights and aux lights for 230$.. send them in, they sand and buff all the markings off (stanley emblems and such) smoke them, and buff and polish.

 

There is a product called Night Shades. It is a spray tint made by VHT. You can get it here for $12.00. It is at the bottom of the page.

I've seen this pic before and you did an awesome job. Anyways, at the Oracle site, which product did you use-theres so many. Thanks.

 

Heres the link:

The stuff i used is TRANSPARENT vynl. Its vynl but the light still shines through.

I used the lightest stuff #74

 

Here's my smoked tails. As you can see, I went NUTS with the NiteShades!

 

can i buy some kind of tint at wal mart ?
or am i wrong ? i heard from someone here bought some kind of tint from wal mart
i was thinking of stopin by there if they did have them

 

nightshade here:

 

this may just be me but they remind me of altezzas

 

If you used tint, not the spray tint, wouldn't the film peel off from washing and from weather?

 

Is the film on the inside, or outside . . lol jus makin sure . .

 

IMO; stay w/ the stock clear and use clear bulbs, that looks much better....

 

anyone have smoked Hatch taillights?

 

um where can u order this vinyl online? it seems u cant order online from oracle and there isnt a store near me!

 

I went crazy with the nightshades too.

 

When you use nightshades on the lights do they have to be as black as the ones in the pictures above? Or can you just make it as light or as dark as you want?

 

Im not feelin the knight ryder look. but the one with the vinyl looks like a prefessional job

 

The best thing to use is Testors brand window tint spray. It comes in a little bottle and you'll be able to do like 6-7 coats with that one bottle. Its only like 3 bucks too. Whereas I've seen that nightshades **** sell for like 19.99 at a local tuner shop. Make sure to buy some Testors clear coat spray as well. You can usually get it at your local hobby store that sells models cars and planes and trains and **** like that.
