Tinted Tails/Custom Exhaust.. 03 Coupe (SLICK)
Honda has no clue, look how bright and pink my lights are. I feel like i bought a buick and im 65. Lets fix it. Oh, and the single exhaust has to go! Custom Dual kit here I come.
heres what you need. Tint and Clearcoat. You can get them at a local hobby shop. Total cost was 6 bucks. That was enough for 2 coats on each light of both.
Ok, so heres the bad news, you have to take the bumper off to get the lights out. But its easy. Two bolts on the back, three screws in each wheel well, and youre off! I just dropped mine 3 inches so i could get a screw gun in there.
The light on the bottom has one coat of tint. The top light is stock.
Here are both lights with 1 coat of tint, 30 minutes later.
Cant forget the third brakelight on the spolier. 2 screws removed that.
After 2 coats of tint.
After 2 coats of clearcoat. waiting 30 minutes between coats. Check out the diff. with the pics above.
Finished Product. Got my exhaust done at a local shop here in AZ. He built me a Cat Back kit with HighPro mufflers with 2" pipe. Turned out nice. NO RICE HERE! Sounds like a sports car.
SSSLLIIIICCKKKK!

I have seen it used on headlights. But dont forget to tape off the part of the lights you still want to use.. or coat it really light on the majority of the housing because you wont be able to see shit. My taillights are not as bright as stock, but still visible. Thx for the props dood.

Could if you want. The spray tint is really easy to use.. if you look at the first coat pics on the post, you probally want something around that level of tint. Just a light 10-15%

If you look at a previous post of mine, gunmetal grey headlights. I took apart my lights with a heat gun and painted everything but the reflectors behind the bulb.. it turned out nice. Check it out. Its in my sig too.
