was wondering if anyones ever tinted thier tail lights with like walmart window tint or if it would work. im gettin bored with my stock tail lights and wanna tint them. dont really wanna paint them, was wondering if window tint worked so if i didnt like it i could just take it off.

me and my friends were talking bout it yesterday and told me its cake.. any tint should work just get ur taillights soaked with soap and water and u can just lay the tint and move it around how u want it and go over it with a credit card to get rid of the bubbles.

Alot of other forums of different cars do this type of stuff because theres not too much aftermarket support for their rides except for the s**t everyone calls RICE. LEDS, Neons, outrageous wings, ____________________<<add your ricey part here

Since there alot of mods for our beloved civics, we have transformed past the rice of other cars to make ours genuine and stand out from the other cars out there.

very well said, sir. The same stuff that sometimes looks good on other cars does not necessarily always look good on our civics. If fact, most of the time it looks bad. ie: Body kits might look good on mr2's. NOT on civics. Lambo doors look good on DUBmobiles (and lambo's of course), NOT on civics. You get my drift...

ya well thanks for the people that actually helped. and for everyone else that says rice u can pretty much screw off. its my car not urs. i think the term rice is the stupidest thing ive ever heard and its annoying. if my car still looks clean and not shity looking or anything then i think its fine. rice is really just someones opinion of someones car. it seems childish for people to always be tellin other people thier car is rice or whatever. its thier car not yours =)

nobody is talking about lambo doors or bodykits were talking about tinting taillights buddie and if he wants to do it then let him do it, i personally think it looks pretty good because i have a friend with an 8th gen and a friend with an integra that tinted the white part of the taillight red so therefore the whole taillight is red

Dont tint the full lights, only tint 50% if you do it, all black is ugly and ghetto looking.

looks more like smoked taillights than tinted. But if you can get that smoked taillight effect without making it look like ass, congrats.

These look like ass. And its what you're probably gonna end up with if you tint/spray your taillights. Dont be surprised if you get rear ended either.
