i want to do something like that to my 98 accord coupe...
whats the best way?
i heard about a spray or using tint film... has anybody done this?
suggestions?
thank you

 

me too, Ive been trying to find out cuz I have a 2000 coupe and I saw one that had a really dark red tint to them.

 

You really want it that dark?? Be prepared to get pulled over a lot.

 

well thats pretty dark... i dont think id like it that dark, but any info will help

 

well i've seen smoked lenses, but thats completely blacked out. yea, you can keep them on... until a cop gets up behind you. all brake lights have to be red and be able to reflect. i dont even think tinting them is legal.

 

you can get window tint film from walmart and apply it.


that's really just blacked out, you'll get tickets for that.

 

I just did that to my Accord. I thinned out black paint until it was transparent and actually painted the lenses. It took about 8 hours for me, but there are a lot of bodyshops here (Seattle) that are starting to do this. It should cost around $250. I'll post pictures when I find my camera.

 

smoke um looks a lot nicer

 

whats smoke um???

 

instead of blackouts (which is just a black trans spray), smoke is a different shade. It's more of a light grey that tones down the original red tint of the tails ... but doesn't completely shade it in black .. more of a hazy grey with the red base still coming though
