35 is the limit here (TN), but I have 20 anyway. Luckily, they arent too militant about enforcement. Fun fact: if you open your sunroof shade, it lets a lot of extra light in, making the tint appear much lighter. Whenever I see a cop in the rear view, I pull back the sunroof shade, lol.

you need to go to the store and grab more plasti dip... black out the gray panel on the rear bumper, and the fog light housing as well... i'm actually in the middle of it as I type and will post pics up of what it looks like... i'll take a pic with the chrome fog housing still dipped, but i plan on peeling it off to match my grill with the chrome outline... pics to follow in an hour or so

I will be doing the fogs soon. I just had the tinit done this week. 20% all around. I also had the window trim wrapped in vinyl. The Plasti Dip was not sticking properly to the trim and looked uneven. I went with a gloss back. Also had my tint guy tint all the markers and the badges. The car is very dirty but here are a couple pics until I wash it. I also have powder coated black lugs on the way.
I understand some won't like the fact that I removed the V badging and the CTS on the trunk. I thin it's a cleaner look. Others may not like it. All my badges are in perfect condition and I know exactly where they go and can put them back if I need to. I just found they broke the lines of the car and would trap polish/wax and snag my expensive microfiber towels.

I did the front valance and the fog light bezels and surrounds. Sorry about the picture quality. Crazy day today.
Removing the badges is easy. Just use a long piece of fishing line between the emblem and the body and clean up the remaining adhesive with Goo Gone. 30 minutes to remove all badging.
