Just an FYI...the corners on Lesper's 8 are the same ones I had on mine. Just wanted to show you guys another option.

 

here you go.

and yes, Keith needs black out corners on his!!!!

 

Wow, nice little corner lights comparison pics you have there speeddemon. And I still think the clear corners are the best looking out of the group.

 

wow it actually looks better on a VR than black...not bad. it blends in better.

 

Thanks!






I personally like the red on red, black on black, .... ect.

 

I think the black on red with the headlights smoked too would look cool.

 

damn you guys think i should do my clear corners now. even more black out. what do you think?

 

that is why we posted the pics above...to help you make the decision that would work best for you....given the coloring you want on your vehicle...as well as keeping vehicle code issues in mind.

 

decisions decisions.

 

Does that go on like tint film?

 

its more like a vinly that you would use as a graphic on your car...it has a sticky side, which you peel the backing off. Many people who have used this, or similar products use the same process of installing as in doing a window tint.

 

I don't know about you but several people get tickets every year for going in reverse without back up lights!

Damn a cop has to be a ***** and standing there when ya do it.

Of course if you get into and accident at Costco or some other parking lot.....

Good Luck getting reinbursed.

 

It looks cool! Takes away the alteza look that some aren't crazy about. Reminds me of the Gen3 RX7's taillights. Does it go on the inside or out? Is it hard? I'm not very good at getting all the air bubbles & creases out when it comes to vinyl stickers & tint....

 

it goes on the outside...and yes, you WILL have bubbles regardless of how good/bad you are in using this product. You'll probably need to do a complete light first, then take off the film...and make a second attempt. The first attempt was rather bad. Second attempt was much better.

 

Thats not necessarily true about always having bubbles. The guys who installed mine actually sucked out the bubbles with a syringe with a very fine needle. They poke the needle directly into the bubble and sucked out the air/water under the film. Mine is bubble free since I had it professionaly done, but if you do it yourself you may get some bubbles.

 

well, there you go....needle and suck the bubbles away

 

So that means us Needle dicks won't have a problem with installation?

 

my first attempt was better than my second, the majority of the bubbles went away after a few hot days under the sun.

 

Oh man, I need coaching, I had such a hard time doing my overlays, teach me how you did yours!

 

wow, the tint on deedub head lights are real nice! and let me get this straight, his foglight are also overlay??

 

lookin good guys !

 

yes, and yes.

Update: I've had about 6 people pm me, indicating interest in doing this project. I've asked them to post pics of their completed projects...but given that we don't see any new pics, I would assume that they gave up on the project. Would be nice to know if they tried and gave up, or if they just moved on to other projects.

It is a difficult project, and there are signage shops, even tint shops that would be willing to install the film for you....for those who just want the easy way (albeit, expensive way)...

 

I must admit that I gave up. That film is very hard to work with. Can't get around that brake light section bump, without creases. I tried to install it on a spare set, so obviously it's not on the car. I should try again with an additional set of hands. Any tips on which corner to start?

 

we started on the larger flat area opposite the big brake light bubble. Once you get this nice and taught, you can then use the soapy water and hair dryer to pull the material over the brake light bubble. The other hard sections are the edge where the brake light returns to the car, and the bend around the side of the car. These are definatley not CIVIC lights....

Any tint shops in your area that are willing to try? I wonder how much they charge?

Other advice would be to do the install, with the lights on your car...you can get more leverage this way. Having the lights in your lap makes it hard to pull the material tight enough.

 

Well you could save money and have your local junkie do it.

He has plenty of small needles.
