08 Civic Coupe

[TintWizard]

Just realized I haven't done a coupe yet ..just lots of sedans.

Anything to know? is there a matrix on top of the back glass ? brake light removable ? panels easy ?

same as last year...hate the matrix on the top....bulldozer for the 3rd brake light.

it has an approx. 1" matrix that is super fine and tall. it gives me fits. black vinyl works. im going to try the headlight sealer on the next one.

the rear deck is all plastic.I leave it in and roll it out from the center.

I leave the panels on since the seals be felted

oh damn...theres that ghetto ass vinyl trick again....listen people, I know most of you been tinting since like 1975 and all but the techiques have changed since then...what was good then, is old school now. get the glue man, yes I know that the hondas are hard to glue since the dots are smaller, ....but I nice thicker beed and less pressure pushing it out will do the trick...yea its gonna be a lil wavy from the interior view, but at least its not gonna be just coverd. save the vinyl for the sign makers.

have you done the 08 civic with glue?

I used alenes on it ant it wouldnt stick especially on the edges where the dots get closer together.

zactly.....could you put up a pic "snappy"? id love to see it.

the matrix area is not as wide as the accord coupe...so therefore, glue method here is not necessary. Just shrink and lay the tint on the back glass first...then tint the sides as usual, then blue max and squeegee w/cloth on the back glass matrix area, will lay down fine.

Panel removal is real easy too on the civic coupe....only 4 screws and your done.
