DIY amber lens for civic

have anyone done this to the ek?

i jus went autobahn n got some amber dye but the only thing they had was the one with the brush so i thought the hell only 12bux ill jus grab it

only 13ml it lasts but the lil brush they giv u fahh hard to get even coats

better to get the spray if u can get a hold of it

i think this is what my mate done to my del sol for me. *points to his dp*

Hey top-stuff dude

I tryed it on my friends eg5 but instead of a spray,
we had the liquid one's where you use the dye like nail polish
but although it looked abit darker but it worked out fine


keep up the good work !

what do you use to stick the lens back on? the silicon is for water proofing too right? or is that making the edges sticky again?

Great DIY

the silicons sticks the lens back on

thanks :thumbsup:

i did this the other day to my eg hatch, i think i put too many layers on so now its too dark, i want to take the dye off and do it again, i used the spray by the way, does anyone know how to REMOVE the dye? ( i just sprayed on outside and clear coated).

just buy new ones from shift man 50 bucks

heard petrol works pretty good removing the dye. hope that helps.

thanks man but i think wet sand then polish will do the trick

i had to sand( really lite grit waterproof sand paper) all amber off my crx parkers ... they went like shit afterwhile look like either acid was poored on it or someone took a piss on them ... but at first wen applied looked good just after while of constant re applyin got annoying and making them look worse ..

but awesome write up tho dude .. :)
