Tinting Tail Lights
�
�
I have a 02 WRX Sedan I and was thinking of using a tint film (probably a smoked color, I hate the blacked out look) to tint the upper half of the tail lights.
I don't want to use a Tint paint.
I don't mind if the tint film isn't permenant, I can easily add new film when it goes bad.
Has anyone done this before?

this guy bluebatmobile has precut tinted vinyl for the sti. not sure if it's the right shape as the 02 lights, but you might want to give him and email.

you guys think that would look nice on a PSM wrx?
i bought the tail tint from hot-subaru, but after putting one on...it looked like crappola. i still have the other one in a box. i could stencil in the shape and do it.
hmmm?

Let is know if there is anything we can do for you.

Hot-Subaru.com, are those illegal?
| Subaru of Plano | 08-25-2005 11:23 PM |
As they say check with your local laws ;) In TX the law is vague - aside from explicitly forbidding the use of PAINT - i.e. VHT Nightshades... They have to be visible at 1000 feet, and they are. When you get right down to it the vehicle inspector may have the final say. If you were to look at Neil's blue WRX (pictured) with our smoke covers out in the parking lot parked next to a Chevy Trailblazer we took in trade - the Trailblazer's tails were DARKER...
After they are in stalled and the adhesive is cured they look VERY clean, and you can even make out the DOT highlights, so in most cases they look similar to some of the Euro Sport Benz's and Porsche's you see with factory smoke tails.
Hope that helps

you know...whenever i post pictures of my car i get hammered for having the HID blue headlight tints, but i think they look great. it really gives my car a lil' something and i've received nothing but compliments in person. hell...it's the only modification that i've done that my MOTHER even loved. i think i just might have to look into doing the reverse lights HID as well...
hmmm...

The good ones are not window tint... Window tint is for the inside on glass, not for exterior use on plastic/polycarbonate.... We had a guy here is Dallas who put window tint on the headlights of his bug eye, changed his mind and went to remove them - they had bonded with the plastic/polycarbonate lend and had to be WET SANDED OFF... If you are going to experiment, do it on a car you don't care about - you know a Friends car :lol:
Keep in mind, like almost everything going with the absolutely cheapest possible way out in the short run is usually more costly in the long run...

But no turn-signal inserts for 02-03? Even though they show a picture of 02-03 versions on their website? Making a whole lot of sense.

Oh ya, also, don't use the spray stuff (i.e. use tint spray plus clear coat spray), it works well but then you have to deal with stuff like drips, and also, it pretty much makes it a permanent mod unlike using the Rockblocker or Lamin-X which peels off just like window tint.

Had the Hot-Subaru ones but i also think they were a little bigger. Also it was hard to properly install them on the round sourge of the 04-05 taillights.

Such a shame they don't make them for the 02-03.. considering they have a frickin' photo of them installed on a 02-03 on their website, BUT they don't make them? I e-mailed the guy who sells them and he said that he just doesn't make them.. no reason as to why though. Fine, you don't want my money, guess i'll make my own =)
