Just had the windows tinted... I am considering some custom black racing stripes and also the clear lights for behind the rear wheels. Opinions?



What do you guys think?

!molding, lose the hood, lose the tips, clear side amrkers like you said, an maybe do somethin creative with the front grille area (maybe have the stock grille smoothed out and professionally painted), since you prob hafta have that front tag.

I am trying to find a good wings west grill that would cover up those aweful holes... I got a quote to smooth them out and repaint and it was like 600 bucks... probably would be better off to get a grill but I am having trouble finding one on here...

The hood gets such random attention... some people absolutely love it and some hate it. It is the US Exotics Warbird hood, I think i'll keep it

The tint I used is 55%... I had it done by Ziebert. It turned out really well and has a lifetime warranty... Only costed me $99. They use a laser cutting system so it turned out seamless -- seems to be a pretty good deal for the quality of the actual tint.

Removing the molding on your doors..the big strip running across the middle of the doors

EDIT: BTW is that just a weird reflection on your side windows or did you get mirror tint= I hope its just a reflection

A lot of people think it makes a big difference, but there's already a line there, and I'm one of the few people who kept the molding.

Also, I would get rid of the front plate and just throw a billet grille on there; it's cheap and pretty clean looking.

I agree. If you dont need the front plate id add a grill to it. Love the hood and headlights. For some reason almost reminds me of a GTO.

I think it looks cleaner without the molding, I took mine off. I've got a side by side of molding versus no molding in my cardomain. I'd get some smoked clear corners too.

its not my favorite style, but as far as keeping a look and going with it, it seems like everything fits together, and cleanly done....

If it was my car, I would ditch the gfx, ditch the hood for an SS one, ditch the spoiler for an SS one and put an SLP grille on.

Taking the factory ground effects off is expensive, because of the way it's mounted it will involve patching a bunch of holes and lots of repainting to make it look right.

I too took my side molding off....looks way better if you ask me.



Comes off pretty easy, I heated mine up a bit with a hair dryer and then just slowly pulled it off. Removed the rest by just rubbing my thumb over it, then some WD40 to get the rest off. Then washed it down and put some wax on it.

I am not a big fan of the hood either, but what I dislike the most on your car are the exhaust tips..... there's gotta be something better out there, like mine

VERY clean car but I would DEFINETLY DITCH THE HOOD! Honestly, a flat stock hood would look better but I would get a Sunoco Cowl hood or ZL1 hood if it were my car...

Nice color choice, rim choice, I LIKE the GFX, the tips do stick out kind of car and I'm not a fan of the Halos but they don't make it look bad... The hood just goes with NOTHING on the car and makes a NICE car look cheap IMO...
