Amatuer shots of the V! Was over at a friends house and it was really nice out and had just finished cleaning the car so I decided to take some shots of my V. I know they're not too great and I really need a professional detail.
What you think?

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I still think the paint is kind of meh since it came from the bodyshop after an accident I really wanna respray a black if I ever get the funds, maybe a pearl! The taillights were painted in some way or another haha I gave it to a buddy of mine who did the tint on the windows and tailights he works with a lot of high end cars and they look killer in person. Sidemarker will get done as soon as I find some time!
I built the foglights myself, I think there are tutorials on this on either this forum or cadillacforums. Let me know if you want some help building these.
All I have is the MM mod right now, coilovers in the future.
And everything is painted a gloss black. I like the way paint looks when clean and so far chipping hasn't been bad plus I have a touch up paint pen for it.
Exhaust will come soon hopefully before it gets stored for winter time!

I am very curious because everyone keeps telling me to paint them and that makes me leary. The tint option makes much more sense if it will work.
Thanks in advance,

The Law, to be honest I am not sure exactly how they were done seeing how I just gave it my buddy and he did them and I got the car back, haha. However, I know they are not film, so if I would guess it is probably a way of paint, my best advice is dont go cheap find someone who does em and just pay to get em done, safest route.
Thank you LS2! It was actually between a V and a GTO but I prefer the extra 2 doors haha, GTO sounds pretty BA with the mods in your sig.

If your tail lights were done by someone at a body shop then I can almost guarantee that they were tinted using a mixture of clearcoat and black paint. Definitely the best way to go. Tint film will NOT work, and if by some miracle it does, it will only look good for about month.
