  • Well done

  • @krj200 your dumb, its illegal to put any tint on windshields

  • VHT tint paint will leave a crappy job if you go to fast.. If you go slow it will look shiny almost as if you have covers on. But not to slow or it will run. And it's gotta be warm enough outside so it will dry right..

  • @Pkumar1923 ya i put mine one kinda heavy coats with bright halogen lamps on them to make them dry faster to prevent runs. the VHT was actually pretty decent, but after it was fully dry you still would want to lightly sand and buff them to a shine. they didnt want to lay to clean or as shiny but with alittle wet sandpaper and a buff they shined right up great! tho i dont have the civic anymore. its long gone. wish i kept it tho i had it looking really nice. not what it was in this vid of course

  • this has probably already been asked haha but did you use vht? or another clearing method....thank you im looking to do this with one of my very nice cars and can do it myself but i know that vht will sometimes leave a shitty job... thanks man

  • are those tail lights tinted, or did you spray them with night shades?

    if they are tinted, what kind of tint do you have?

    im getting my 05 accord tail lights smoked out this week and wanted something like this.

  • those are pretty tight, but do you ever get pulled over for those? i smoked my tail lights out, but i got pulled over and the officer told me to change them or else i'd get a ticket (bullshit, i know). so i just bought some totsena tail lights with a black background. they look nice though.

  • @Sephiroth042

    i never got pulled over for them. but i only had them fully tinted for maybe 6months then i went with just tinting the upper red and i left the lower clear clear and put in some red leds.

  • and thats why your not a cop, your a stupid fucken hilljack. go back to your gay@ss video game! go shove that stick up your @ss!

  • Shit looks pretty nice dude...

  • you have completed the ricer look what a shame poor ex must be crying right about now that car woulda been a great jdm car but not anymore

  • wow ur stupid. any USDM civic will never be a JDM civic. and just so you know this video was taken ALONG TIME AGO like 3 years ago. this was when i first had my civic. the wheels i got dirt cheap and when i sold them i actually made money. my civic was alot nicer before i sold it. i mainly got tired of the automatic and the car was just to small for mei put it back mostly stock and traded it for my 97chevy truck which is awhole lot faster and larger. i enjoy the truck a ton more than the civic!

  • @addiction2bass wow u probably dont know shit about cars... ill smoke ur fukin chevy.. with my civic..

  • @lxlSTARBAIlxl WOW you probably dont even have a vehicle. ive done alot more to vehicles than youll ever do! modifying and rebuilding vehicles. my truck would easily stomp your so called civic!

    5.7> your stock 1.6

    i know ive beat plenty of civics and tegs locally with my truck when they provoke me to race! and ive drove 3 civics and been beat in every one of those sucker by GM trucks!

    keep dreaming about your civic beating my truck, its just a dream! ill drop you every time!

  • compare..

    your civic what 135hp 90t

    compared to my trucks 5.7 around 198 rwhp and 260-270 rwtq and thats at the rear wheels, motor power is 255hp and 330lbft tq id easily stomp you sucka! so just go ahead and sell your stock civic and man up to the bigboys

  • 255hp in a 5.7 is pathetic. sorry dude. How about my WRX sti with 305hp in a 2.5L 4cylinder? Thats the difference between domestic vehicles and Japanese vehicles. For domestic to make the same power as Japanese, the engine needs to be twice as big.

  • yes they do have the HP BUT the big difference is TORQUE! the truck can pull all kinds of weight!!!! doesnt matter how much hp ya got if ya dont have the torque to really work. ill take my work truck all day long over my old civics. dont get me wrong i loved the little civics they saved me lots of money on gas along BUT not much room for my additional toys and work ability. the civic couldnt make me any money BUT my truck can make money all day long and keep working hard much longer!

  • torque is big but what are you pulling?

    torque really shows when you have a BIG car or are pulling something other wise its strait HP

  • your right

    the thing about american engines is instead of actually performance tuning they just make the displacement like 4L bigger to get the same performance at the cost of gas.

  • yeah ahaha. And what people don't realise is that tourque is directly related to horsepower. A dyno does not actually measure horsepower, it measure tourque and then calculates the horsepower.

    HP = rpm x T(torque)/5252(constant)

  • @seanmason69 horse power aint everything look at the torque specs for your boosted 2.5L 4 and then look at the torque out of the N/A 5.7L

  • uh ricer is more like tail light covers

  • I like the color of your tails! Did you use a Clear Coat also??? I just ordered two bottles of night shade and wondering should I get a clear coat can also.

  • i did not clear coat them. but i did buff em up with some claybar wax.

  • i used the niteshades shit and my tails are black ass hell and i went to get my car inspected today and it failed cause of that....wtf do i do

  • well the more you spray the darker the tint gets!

    if your to dark for inspection you got 2 options..... easiest is just go to a junk yard or ebay and buy some stock taillights to slap on for inspection and swap em back afterwards ;)

    or sand the tint off the taillights with some 2K grit sandpaper and re spray them with a lighter layer of tint this time.

  • ahh yeah junk yard..sounds like a plan thanks dude

  • ok for your lights all you need to do is clean them off with some goof off or other paint remover then light sand and either clear coat to look stock or do a light coat of VHT this time :)

  • what bullshit. I can see your lights fine.

    I want to do mine, and I know as soon as I do Ima get pulled over

  • LOL ur supposed to still see the lights fine! ;) if you want to paint the lights solid black then thats defiantly illegal.LOL

  • VHT NITE-SHADES. works!!!!

  • my mazda is goin to be jus like dat!

  • mine 2! HAHA

  • thats sikk

  • do you know if its legal to do these in cali?

  • in cali NO WAY!

  • Where do you buy tailight tints?

    Nice Civic btw

  • you tint it your self with spray paint or with tinting paper..

  • tinting paper as in window tint?

  • yes....just like u said..

  • yea i tried but I can't get it t curve without getting creases and wrinkles. Whats your secret?

  • stick with VHT NITE-SHADES. its just like spray paint. the more you spray the darker it gets.

    but if you want to TRY window tint then before removing the backing film use a heat gun or hot hair dryer and try to stretch the tint smooth on the taillight before you ever remove that backing film and applying.

  • Pt.3: The trick is that if the backing inside the lense is black or flat black, then you need less tint on the outside lense to get good darkness. And what happens is your taillights look just as black in day and night but your tint is more transparent so you wont get in trouble for the dimness of your taillights. Another thing to consider cause cops are idiots about little things is---->

  • you cannot take the inner taillights apart. they will only bust apart. been there done that! but the outter taillights can be baked open.

  • Pt.2: Ok so it deleted what I put a second ago. lol OK so You buy taillights either carbonfiber background on the inside or black, or the hard way is to take your lenses apart and paint the background flat black yourself and then put the lenses back together. Once you do this all you have to do is buy the tint and buy it light compared to what you would normaly do, or do liquid tint and do a thin coat, till it looks dark as you like.

  • <--- reflectors. Most of the time the only reason they can ticket you for tinted taillights is because either the reds and ambers arent bright enough or they cannot see the reflectors. And if you do your tint like i suggest, you will eliminate the problems. Sometimes they will still be anal about the reflectors though, and in that case, you can just buy extra little custom reflectors to put on the bumper. Hope that helped somebody! PEACE!

  • Hey, for people trying to tint your lights, I have a solution, And yes cops are dumshits about things like this and i hate it, none the less, mazda RX7 come with tinted taillights. So how is it that they can get away with it but not us, ok well first off the cops have a dumb ass rule about if your car comes with something then its ok, but besides that, you can get away with it by doing it how mazda did it. And it will be alittle difficult. You must buy taillights a certain way, ---->

  • ur tint just horrible u asking for tickets lol

  • maybe in your state... but in my area i was never pulled over or verbally warned about my tinted taillights. but i did change up the tinted design about 6months with them fully tinted.

  • so i just got a can of those vht sprays.

    but i'm not sure really how to do it.

    i drive a grand prix and i want my taillights as dark as yours, so pretty much pitch black. you got any advises? and do you think one can is enough for both of my taillights?

  • One can might not be enough. Its like using other paint, you want to do a lot of light even coats

  • sand with a thousand grit, spray a light coat then wet sand with 1000 grit and do another light coat. might need a third then do a protective clear coat spray.

  • is this car from muscatine ia i from there and theres one just like its just like the one on craigs list

  • nope im in indiana. but i traded off the car last month for a chevy truck. so this civic is no longer mine, but i did put the civic as close to stock as i could before i traded it off. i kept alot of these toys for my other 96 civic project ive been slowely working on.

  • I dont think those are runs, they maybe a countour change in the light... like the civic has an indent by the turning signals or someshit.... but way tooo dark yo. It would have looked better if you left the (white) reverse bulbs untinted and did it that dark. They look good though

  • actualy it wasnt that dark at all... this video was during the day and with the sun behind me to show maximum glare.

    and ya its not runs... the center trunk taillights are made like that for the backup light lense area.,,

    tho i did redue the taillights after awhile to have the lower clear section untinted. but still not that great.. i was going to take the taillights apart by baking them and then use a bunch of leds inside the casing for brake lights and turn signals along the clear section JND

  • If you can see the runs in the paint you didn't do it right... idk why every1 here is so happy for ya. I'm just glad it's on a black car

  • runs in the paint? what..... i didnt have any runs on the lights! i sanded the lenses all smooth and then tinted them. only lines on them is from the actual lens being in 2 pieces. it is like that from the factory on the center taillights, back up light section.

    thats not a run there ;)

  • Comment removed

  • VERY UNTRUE... think about it... during the day is the hardest time to see thru the tint... at night they shine thru 5times easier! ;)

  • yours an idiot....light not shining through at night....

  • You ever use this stuff? He's right, they're harder to see in the day, sunlight kinda glares off it, at night they light up almost as good as normal lights. I've used the stuff for years. Car looks awesome BTW, looks nice on that black car

  • yes, i did it to my headlights and tails at day time it is a little difficult but night is perfect

    VHT FTW!

  • light can exit tinted objects but not enter them... so yes it can. Harder to see in the day but easier to see at night. Turn on the dome light on the inside of your car at night and try to see out. You cant. But be on the outside looking in... you can see the whole inside of the car even through the darkest windows.

  • Sure did do them right!!

    And you filmed them where them in the worst position(where the sun is against the tails!!) This is perfect because I really need to see how they look with the sun shinning on them and the brake lights, turn signals are still pretty visible!!! thanks for this vid!! How many coats did ya use??

    Your Tail lights=PERFECT!!

  • truthfully man. it takes afew tries to get it just right!!!! its not just coats it depends how much you put on during that one coat and how many coats. really hard to get just right!

  • it's not even sunny out lol

  • ahh, someone that smoked their lights right!

  • i've got em on my integra

  • (vht nite shades)

  • How did you do it? Spray on tint, or black spray paint and an oven.

  • search for VHT Nite-shades. only tint spray you should ever use! cheap spray tint SUCKS and black paint wont shine any light thru!

    VHT is the only stuff you should ever use for tinting any kinda lights!

  • I know black spray paint wont shine any light through if you just spray it on. You have to spray iton, let it dry, then pop it in the oven until the paint starts to flak off, then remove from oven and scrape off any paint left over. In the end, if youve done it right, you will have a nicley tinted tail light. And fuck you to the guy who gave me a thumbs down, asshole.

  • ive never heard of it done like that...

  • google it

  • Nice

  • very sick! smoked tail lights are the way to go. yea i just got pulled over for my smoked tail lights and headlights up here in Pennsylvania.. i gotta remove them in 5 days.. so beat. keep on rockin those just dont get stopped!

  • well ive redone my taillights... so now you can fully see red brake lights from some red superflux leds, as well as turn signals and backup lights perfectly.

    so far NO cops are here have complained about them! but i have got a verbal warning for my liscence plate cover. ;)

  • yea i know PA sucks in regards to their car laws, I would have done that, however, i dont feel like getting pulled over everywhere i go lol.

  • thanks and so far around here i havent been messed with for them! i even got pulled over last week by some crummie sherif at night.... he thought i was driving cause i swerved my car over alittle cause his tailgating @ss was blinding me by his headlights! what a PRICK! but only thing he could say was my liscence plate light was out... WHICH ITS NOT! its just green bulbs.LOL he was just looken for a reason to pull me over for drunk driving! BUT no ticket at all! ;)

  • thought of doing that but already have to many cops looking at me but nice though props...
