Tinting tails

[Broxn]

Hey all,
I have done the "search" thing and haven't been able to find if anyone here knows a shop that can do the tinting of tails for a 2010.
If anyone can let me know of a shop please do.

Thaks,
Greg

You sure? It's been offered many times in the site...

Matt - Sechemedia offers it with Lamin-x
Concours Touch - Bryan - was just offering it, but he may postpone it since it's tough to do
Shinzo also offers it..
Tyler - Stealth can do it too

[cwp_sedan]

No one is really taking on the task because they are difficult to do. You could ask the sponsors specifically if they will do it or maybe give Shinzo a call.

[Broxn]

The one thing that does come up often is the fact that these are difficult to do.
I just don't want to spray the exteriors and have it look like sh*t.I know some of our friends south of the border are not having any problems having it done.
I'll ask Matt and a few others...I was hoping to find someone that has had it done that could recommend a shop or person.

[aZuMi]

I had it done twice already and I recommend that you go to Shinzo for quality work.

[Broxn]

Twice? Wtf? Splain that sh*t!

[FoXy]

The laminx is thick so it doesnt like to contour to the tails. You need to have it done with something MUCH thinner and it wont be a problem.

I had Brian @ Concours touch try to tint my tails and he wasn't able to do it.

I may see if Matt or Shinzo can get it done for me though.

Do let us know. I was looking to get mine done as well.

[Broxn]

Will do fellas.. Looking forward to the appoinment on the 28th. Getting the signals on the mirrors done as well.

Good luck at Shinzo. I had my tails done there. They had two shades of tint and I opted for the darker of the two. Unfortunately, it has a slight hint of yellow that it doesn't flow well with my black car. At night it looks great but in daylight you can clearly see the yellowish shade. I plan on getting mine redone this summer for a darker shade and hopefully flows better with my car.

[Broxn]

I am going for red ..they only have one shade..so hopefully I am okay.

Oops! My bad. Thought it was last Thursday.

[Broxn]

No worries, I can't wait for these to get wrapped!

So, for my third attempt in finding the best tail light tint for my 3, I went to Shinzo. I have to say, their work is mint! These guys are pro in their use of vinyls and made my tail light look amazing. Thanks to Vince and his crew @ Shinzo Werkz. I'll definitely go back to them for my 3M clear bra once the new bumper comes.

Well it looks like Shinzo is the place to go for our 2010 tail lights. It's hard to tell but those are pretty smooth right, no creases?

[hit26k]

:whoa


How long did it take?

FINALLY!! looks a lot better.
Approx how much did that run you (if you don't mind me asking)

[aris]

Love it

[ronphan]

Looks so much sexier!!!

[aZuMi]

Yea, they're pretty damn smooth. I would know since I have comparisons in terms of work done to it. Eric, it's best to contact them for price since '04-'09 and '10 might be different. I'll probably be affiliated with them later on since I know one of the guys working there.

No creases man. I was blown away by the quality of their work.


:whoa


How long did it take?

Actual process took 2 hours long (1 hour each side) so that they can really make sure it's flat and smooth.

[Roconne]

No creases man. I was blown away by the quality of their work. Awesome. Looks like I need to setup an appointment with them now. :thumbsup

[jonjon72]

Looks good! Shinzo did a great job!

[Broxn]

[Takumi616]

[Roconne]

[zoom4106]

What's the price range for tinting tail light, 3rd brake light and the reflectors? Thanks

[Freakzaz]

Wow Azumi, the workmanship looks pretty good! I guess I'll check them out when I decide to get mine done.

suspense is building!

[Hyperion]

Holy.... Now that is a good job. Was the pieces custom fit for the 2010? Cuz mine have all those creases in them.

[aZuMi]

Nope, there's no custom fit film for the tails. They basically blade the corners to fit the tints perfectly.

[Broxn]

Well got the pics..but no way of posting.. I dont have an account for flikr or anything, I only ever post in the "For Sale" area where I can upload a pic.

[aZuMi]

Looks really good Greg!

[Freakzaz]

Wow, that looks great!

[Broxn]

@Queue (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/member.php?14389-Queue) Nope... thats all they had, having said that...even with my LEDS behind it its dark.

The other fellas...Thanks guys, I really like the way they turned out. It makes it "pop" more than the clears (imo)

[crono06]

Looks fantastic!

[Jackal]

Tints look really good!!

[loosecannon]

Looks good! Just cause you did this first (and I wanted it done to mine too), I'm going to have to kill you now... :P
