Hi guys

Was looking into getting some Taillight tint for my 350gt... I want to get something light so my lights are still visible at night. Have seen some pics on google images and the tinting looks great. What are your opinions? Do light tinting (30%) attract cops? Am not looking to go the full blackout rout as i have a CIA and a few other mods installed already.

What are the chances of a defect?

Thanks

There is a guy on G35driver that offers all sorts of tint for lights and roof vinyl covers etc - you can find all of his stuff here: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/BlueBatmobile2005/

His user name on G35driver.com is bluebatmobile, you could PM him as well.

I think I read somewhere in here that it is illegal in NSW but I could never find that post again, maybe others can advise!

I have tint on my rear lights. The cops don't bother me. But that could also be because they see the glowing blackview recoder in front of the rear view mirror.

I will point out that it may be better to get the tint where the bulbs are not covered but the rest of the light is. It does lower the strength of your lights if you cover the whole thing.

When I got mine done, I thought that my lights stopped working and had to get someone to check. As I could not seem them from the rear view mirrors anymore.

Still, it does look really good.

Sean great stuff those tints look awesome though i bought blackout tints before reading this post. I might have to create the 4 holes myself onto the tints i have as its hard to see the break lights when i try those tints on.

No worries mate, i'll be getting that vinyl very soon. Yeah it comes with the 3 holes already cut out, shame you didn't post before you bought! I'm sure it will come up looking good though,

You can buy already cut-to-fit vinyl tint, that you just apply to the taillight, Id suggest using something like a hairdryer to heat the vinyl up to mould it into the taillight if you have the taillights that arnt flat across, but Im pretty sure any taillight tinting is illegal in all states? Hell im in W.A. and if its banned here then it would have been banned in the eastern states ages ago before W.A. We are still aloud to use radar detectors in W.A. o.0 XD but yea anyway, search ebay "G35 coupe Smoked taillight tint", fairly easy to do, plus just heat+rip off if ever stickered, f*k spray!

    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
