I have been debating on doing this for a while. I've seen some of the VW's and Mercedes with smoked / red tails and think they look nice on certain cars. I would only give a light smoke as I still want my Polarg super white blinkers to give that light blue color rather than a gray or whatever color if it were to be dark.

Has anyone done this? I just think it would be kind of unique on a Honda since I've never seen this in person and don't recall any pics either... Also, I think it would go nicely with my blackened out headlights even though you can only see one or the other at the same time.

Just a thought.....

 

Ummm yeah(??)...speechless.

 

My friend has an EG with smoked bottom lights and on the top is red, doesn't look bad, not my taste though.

There is also a person on here with that with an 96-98 EJ

forgot his username.

 

most people in this forum dont approve of those and say they're a waste of money. im sorry to say im one of those people, but it YOUR car.

i thought they were already sold like that. ive seen tons.

 

10 bux isnt really a waste

 

exactly.....do what you like

 

just out of curiosity, how do you smoke, yor taillights? black paint?

 

Don't know. That is why I ask
I am thinking there is special paint for this
...I would have to see pics before doing this mod. Because I do like my red / clears, especially since not many people have them on the 6th gen. sedans.

 

I did it on the 96-98 tails

 

how pics?

 

I have seen them on VW's and a few hatches and they look good if done right. As for me, my only concern would be legality issues.

 

 

hrrmmm maybe its the pic and lighting,but dunno if i like it on the 96-98 tails...anyone with red/clears?

 

my camera sucks

 

as long as you use a transparent film or paint, it shouldn't impair the brightness of your signal, no matter how dark you tint them

 

look in the new honda tuning mag. there is a si that is turboed and they did it to their tails and it doesnt look bad and if you have done it to your headlights then go ahead and do it. and all of the cars in the handa tuning I have already seen and one of my good friends josh hinning that lives near me in birmingham Alabama is in there is it the dx with z3 healights and gs 400 tail lights but anyways

 

forget my earlier post THAT LOOKS GOOD!!!! hehe wanna trade?

now, how bout yall share how u did it

 

Did this last year back in June:




This was with Static Cling tint found at Walmart. Like $2-5 for a roll. Just follow the directions. Just make sure you use a drop of Elmer's Glue for the sides because the wind will catch it and there goes your corners

I have a can of NightShades I was planning on using instead. Just one light spray.

And for those who don't know me. I'm allowed to do this mod






Unless you have a problem with racers with ricer mods

i just used transparent dk gray vinyl i bought from an art store (you can get it at sign stores as well). a pretty big sheet will run you around $5. since it is vinyl, it sticks like a ***** and is already glossy. i also used a candy red transparent vinyl to do the top (these were all clears).

you never have to worry about uneven coats of paint or not having the right amount of clear coat. and it comes off with ease as well.

happy modding!

 

looks very nice

 

post black cars

 

Looks good to me.

 

Not bad... this should be in the appearance tho.
