Tinting Tails - Page 2 - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

I tinted mine by mixing up a tinted clear coat, and then i added a bunch of pearl and metalic to make it not look like covers or anykit you can buy

Sounds like an interesting way to do it, got any pictures of the final product?

Im not saying making your tails diff is gay, but, like LC said, just6 dont go to CT and buy Nightshades....you can do something really cool with them that dont make them look ghetto...just talk to people....

leave the white/blinker. but make sure you do a nice clear coat over all of it.

Or you could always get clear or chrome altezza's because they're SO original and JDM guyyyyyyyyy.

They are JDM, GUYYYYYYYY. Especially when 2 months down the road the lens start fogging up. Real quality goods.

^^^ LMFAO SOOO TRUE !!

I see soo many hondas with altezas that have the exact problem.. I guess some cars can get away with the look but 95% of the cars on the road cant.
