I drove down to San Diego and met Andy (Bluebatmobile) for some tail light tint and he showed me tint for the amber reflectors on the side of the headlights. They are 30% tint and in person they look like darkened amber, very sharp looking, especially with the blackened headlight chrome. I put one on and took pics. Love em. How do you guys like these?

Deus those are nice. is that film on the inside or outside of the lens? How did the tails come out? I have thought about getting tinted tails but was not sure of the durablity.

 

Very nice...it looks very similar to the chrome overlays he made for me.

 

Deus those look sweet on your max!!!! Its A whole new look, more agressive!!!

 

Very Nice. Man I love the look of your car.

 

Tint goes on the outside. The spray tint doesnt last, in my experience. I used model car tint for my tails and Im unhappy with the long term results. I am trying to apply the film to the tails as we speak, but Im not having any success getting the tint to curve around the lense. I may have to take it to a tint place, darn it.

 

it looks good, i like it. very subtle.

 

Very nice Deus, bluebat is all about helping us make new mods for our cars!! First Hamy with the chrome then me with the silver and now you with the tint. Perfect for black...knight rider lives on!!!

 

I cant find anyone to put on the tail light tint, J. Anyone local that u know of that will do it?

 

I likie, me wantie, 411 pls

 

Those look good. Did you get the taillight overlays too?

 

Damn. I'm going to have to go get some silver vinyl made to cover mine up to. Thanks you bastids. Made me hooked on this mod after lookin at those pics.

It's very easy to make the curve on the lens with the tint if you use a hair dryer. The film will become more elastic and then you just push it in place. Easiest way: you clean the taillight, then use soap to put it in place(just a little bit) and then use the hair dryer to get rid of any imperfection.

 

I guess I could just trace the shape of the sidemarker on paper. Clean it up. Cut a test piece and if it fits, drop it off at a vinyl place and they can bust off one and a mirror image for the other side. Should be relatively easy. Then sell them on ebay for $40/pair with $20 shipping.

lookin good deus. I have mine(side amber) done with tint spray (niteshades) on my 2nd gen. Have lasted about a year so far with no problems

 

hey where can i get some white ones put on for my car?

 

The tailight tint film is a difficult process. Andy from bluebatmobile and his friend at custom graphix in SD did mine for me. Took them along time to get them right but I am REALLY happy with the results.

Good stuff Dues on the side markers.

 

me also.... thanx to hamy for the idea..

 

I might try this later.. In TX, the cops are really strict about the front reflectors, and if they are covered up... so i dont know.. I really wish i did my headlight interiors, but i know i wouldnt have passed inspection.. ARG!! Damn the MAN!!

 

It looks less dark in person. U can clearly see amber, its just darker. It nt covered up, just tinted. Its only 30%. U may be able to get 20% which would show a lot more amber.

 

so there is no where that makes white overlays??
