Default Tinting 03 Tails/Custom Exhaust


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.

what about cleaning them will the paint ever come off...like if you hit with compound on accident will it take it off<<<<<we used to use car compound to take off spray on window tint thats why im asking. I did notice the lacquer overcoat but that to with some wax's and compounds can remove the coatings right? my car
