You don't need to smoke the whole tail...

Qube · 09-20-2008, 04:04 PM

Lamin-x sells complete smoke kits. You don't need that. I bought a large sheet of plastic tint film (for poly/plastic use, not window) and made tint strips. Anyone interested?

Yeah, the last picture is pretty bad. I'll get a better one later.

hey im completly new to the tinting of tails, is it possible you can show some pics the stage's of doing this process? :smile:

pit1 · 09-24-2008, 09:39 AM

I'm looking to do the same, tint tails, sides, and maybe ambers. I'd like to do it myself. Where do you get the film?

RobLS · 09-24-2008, 10:54 AM

I think the smoked whites look good on the back and leaving everything else as is. Nice and good way to do your own thing, +1 for me.

ditto, i loved that look on my STi.

RobLS · 09-24-2008, 11:15 AM

^^^ Maybe it just works well with a dark colored car?

arok · 09-24-2008, 11:19 AM

I think it would look awesome on the red and blue 1's too. On the fence about the AW or TiAg

pousa13 · 09-24-2008, 03:10 PM

looks really great
I hope I´ll find a way to do the same on my coupe next year

Qube · 09-30-2008, 08:04 PM

Here it is on AW... though Charlie sprayed it instead of film...

Picky picky... that's the best the BlackBerry Curve can do. It's a lot different now. I only have a pic of the front (not by me)... see here: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17121

ichiban · 09-30-2008, 11:13 PM

this is exactly what i was gonna do, but with a little darker tint.

White Lightning · 10-05-2008, 06:06 PM

Looks great, I was going to tint the entire tail light then cut out the white part but I liked the look of it too much with the entire tail light tinted (sorry for the dirty car pics, it was raining before I got a chance to wash the car).
