Third Brakelight Tint ? WTF

CivicLX4221 · 03-05-2008, 06:25 PM

Got my car tinted last week i specifically asked them to tint the whole back window. When i got my car back the installer gave me some BS about that the third brakelight couldn't be removed. I figured he didn't know what he was talking about but i gave him the benefit of the doubt since I only had the car for 1 day. I now know it was the easiest thing to remove the rear panel. My question is. Do you guys/girls think i should have them fix it or leave it as is. Not too concerned about the state law.

HHAHAHAHAHA damnnnnn, the dude was gonna do that to mine, but i was watching and was like, hold up brotha... went in my car, and popped that baby off.

I guess they pull that off on alot of people so they won't have to work as hard. I think its an eyesore personally. Doesn't give it that clean look i was looking for.

Ya look at the DIY for replacing the rear speakers in the FG. It takes two seconds to take that panel off.

One moore honda · 03-05-2008, 08:41 PM

thought removing third break lights were illegal?.

ThePrinceSat · 03-05-2008, 09:02 PM

Yeah, that's bs. I got mine done at apple auto glass, they removed it and did the whole window. Get it fixed!

Litlelev · 03-05-2008, 09:07 PM

depending on the state im pretty sure they did it the legal way

CivicLX4221 · 03-05-2008, 11:07 PM

I can't deal with that look. I need it fixed for sure. Im heading there tomorrow morning.If you can tell from the picture i already have the panel removed. Did a speaker install while i was at it.

brazilianguy · 03-06-2008, 12:27 AM

Honestly... He shouldnt have to remove anything to tint the windows... hes there to tint them, not take your car apart.

CivicLX4221 · 03-06-2008, 04:44 PM

Just got it back a couple of hours ago. I'm glad i got it fixed. Thanks all.

asndragonboii · 03-06-2008, 04:56 PM

If it was a good tint shop, with the appropriate tools, they shouldnt have to take anything off to tint brake light area. Mine was tinted. I have a sedan though.

Did they re-tint the whole window or just do that one spot?

CivicLX4221 · 03-07-2008, 08:27 PM

No the whole window. Can't have my whip "ghetto-fied"
