Got my 8 tinted today! I LOVE IT! I'll have pics tomorrow. If anyone wants it done, I can get you a hookup. Guy does amazing work, great price, and guarantees everything for ever, against bubbles, scratches, anything!

Oh, I also tinted my tails red. I like em.

And then I have some plans for hopefully next week. Little bigger, we will see how it turns out

 

congrats! i love my tint too.

 

20% eh? Pretty sure thats what I have. I need to pick up my paperwork from him today. Pics later today.

 

ya i need to get in for a good tint job. blew some of my cash on the rotary accents, chrome fuel door and k@n Filter. hopefully i can get it next month. he tints lights also?

 

Well PM me and we can try to work out a deal. He does great work. What color do you want the lights tinted? I can do the lights for you, I did mine red, and I've done black as well. There is actually a set of rx8 tails on craigslist right now if you want a spare set.

Anyway, here are a few full pics, and you can see my tinted tails too.















Let me know what you guys think!

 

Looks great!

 

Those tail lights came out really good, I'm tempted to do the same.

Still not sure I want to taint the windows on mine but it came out good on yours!

 

taint, eh?

 

yeah, it's actually 17% but they call it 20..

 

nice tint looks sick on those tails. i dunno lemme figure out the color and ill get back with ya cause i want that and clear corners for next mods

 

is there any pics on here of a WB with smoked lights havent seen any withem yet.

 

Found it on the site here.





Looks good. I have just seen a few VR with smoked lights and they look good. Im just not sure. Maybe I should buy that spare set and rock both!

i did the tails myself on a WWP, lemme know if this helps anyone!



35 percent, 15 is way to dakr for me!

 

Here are two pics from today. Half-assed sunny out. Can see both nice tint job, and my tails.

 

I like your tint, I got 5% all the way around with 15% on front two. I also got the 6" 5% strip on front windshield. I tinted my sidemarkers with VHT niteshade paint, but my tint guy said he could tint with a special film. I think I'll tint the rear tail lights and sidemarkers next.

 

Sounds like a good setup. I opted away from a forehead tint, because I have enough problem seeing high stoplights as it is. VHT nightshade works well. Its what I use to tint tails usually, although on my 8 I went the red tint route. I think I am going to tint my side markers red, and take out the bulbs. They just stand out too much. Eventually I want the Corksport front bumper.

 

on the tail lights... is it a tint film? i have heard of painting them before. and how much did u pay for the tail lights to get done?

 

I tinted the tails red myself. Cost under $15 total. Just removed them, cleaned them, scuffed them up completely with a red scotchbrite, then cleaned them again. Because it was cold outside, I let them sit to get up to room temp. I then sprayed a light tack coat, then put about 3 more coats on, waiting about 10 min between each one, followed by 2 coats of clear. I plan to hand buff them sometime soon, just havent had the time. Turned out really well I think.

The film works well too, but this I find is cheaper, and if you take your time, less chance to get bubbles, yet its not reversible.

 

wut kind of paint did u use? and does ur left tail light fog up too?

 

For the red tint, I use Duplicolor Metalcast. For the tint, I use VHT Nightshade.

And nope, its my right that fogs up. Super common problem.

 

u painted ur windows too?

 

Haha. No. I had those professionally tinted. Im saying for dark tint, like posted above on the WB, I use the VHT nightshades.

 

i want my windows painted would be bad *** lol whats the legal limit tint in oregon???

 

what da ya guys think of CF eyelids ya or no

 

I think legal is Oregon is 25% or something. I have 20% and doubt I'll get pulled for it. I vote painted eyelids. I think cf lids look too tacky.
