has anyone ever seen 99-00 tails that have the white section tinited black?

Maybe w/ real ctr headlights on a black civic it would look alright

Now, I really dont plan on ever doing this...just making conversation

try looking at my car in the pictures section. I have a 98 civic with tinted tails. let me know what you think.

autocrossthugg · 07-10-2003, 07:34 PM

by the way, do you have any problems with the front lip on your civic??

*pdiggitydogg* · 07-10-2003, 07:37 PM

kind looks like gto covers...but its not bad

edit** and nope, no (real) probs with the lip (it does rub sometimes though...just gotta pay attention to what angle I take ramps)

i've seen'em around. they look pretty shnazzy! i would like to know how to do that?

*pdiggitydogg* · 07-11-2003, 05:45 PM

its just tint paint from hobby shops

some people tint from the outside and then clearcoat
others spearate the housings and tint from the inside (can melt tint) and reseal

hey pdigg where are you getting your parada spec-2's from? what do you think is a good price for them.

*pdiggitydogg* · 07-11-2003, 07:08 PM

believe it or not, I turned to avse100 instead...

cheaper and they rank a bit higher on the scale of ratings
(I just found them by the way)

Im getting them from discount tire (either store or discounttiredirect.com (= free shipping))

avg price for the parada 2s is like 80-100 depending on the shop
(Discount tire @ 100---free ship)
(Tirerack @ 80 something---$35 ship)

*AzCivic* · 07-11-2003, 07:45 PM

I went with the parada-spec2's they rated higher in the dry traction area which is mainly what i'm concerned with. I got them off a website for people in the military and had them pricematch tirerack.com's price. then had to pay $50 for shipping but the good thing is that i can get them mounted for free and then pay 9.95$ per tire for a roadhazard/free rotating/free balancing.

It seemed like a good deal so i went with it.

where's the best place to get rota's? and are there bronze lugnuts available somewhere?

*pdiggitydogg* · 07-11-2003, 08:02 PM

good deal...but moving the rest of this convo to pm

*AzCivic* · 07-11-2003, 08:07 PM
