50% in the front is practically transparent. I would see no point getting 50% on the front side windows,that would be a waste of money. If you want to see a difference at least get 35%. (which will still be a bit transparent but keep you out of the fuzzs' way.)

You're right you are younger than me. I just thought so otherwise, because you said you are only a "little" younger than your cousin who is 21. Anyways, age is irrelevant. Nice work so far!

Yea I know 50% is transparent so thats why im thinking about not even getting the front done which wont look that good but im not trying to run into trouble with the cops at such a young age. I already have a heavy foot thanks though really appreciate it but im not even worrying about tints i like the idea of getting a spoiler or HIDs. Cant afford the front lip yet or the quad tip set up

Hey guys havent posted in a while but I got a carbon fiber front lip for my car and decided to share

Clkboi

That lips looks sweet! Where did you get it? What is the overall fitment %?


Also did you dip or vinyl the chrome trim on the DRL

WhiteonBlack

I got it from a member that was parting out his c250. The overall fitment is like 95% you can see in one of the pics that there is a little gap in the apex of the lip but it isnt that bad. Also the side you see in the pics is a little off but that was due to me not raising it up enough but the other side is perfect. the front end looks so much more aggressive

Hey question on how you plasti-dipped your grille. Did you take out the grille before plastidipping it? Or did you stick cardboard behind it to protect the radiator? If you took out the grille..how did you do it? Is there a good DIY or video you can refer me to? Thanks.

The amount of tint from the driver forward that will keep the California fuzz from taking notice is 0, that's what's permitted. Taking off tint when you get ticketed is a real pain, I had to do that on the Saab 900 SPG I bought while in the USAF. It came from Colorado where the tint was legal, but I got out in California and eventually got flagged for it.


There are times when I really really whish we had TuV here in the US. Yes the inspections are a huge pain in the ***, but the number of unsafe cars on the road in Germany is nil. Of course unlike Americans, they really know how to drive... /stepping off the soap box.

I just put a giant trash bag behind the grill to protect the radiator and I fed the bag through the grill to get it there but to take it out i fed it through an opening in the plastic part above the grill in the engine bay. It was really simple and easy to do and of course i taped around the grill to for over spray. Also if anyone is wondering I did dip the DRL i just sprayed right over it and peeled off where the light is

Okay. we don't have inspections down here in Florida. That's why I have 5% tint all around and 35% on entire windshield

Your car looks really clean bro im trying to get this car tinted before summer weather hits here in SoCal this black interior kills in the summer. Im not looking for a ticket so im probably going to do 20% on the back and let the fronts be

Hey guys I havent done anything major in a while but decided to make a few minor changes. First i relocated the license plate and second i used plasti dip where the drl's are. Wasn't too sure on the dip but it game out great! as for the license plate i want to get a tow hook set up but this works for now. Let me know what you guys think!

EuroJDMBenzo

nice and clean!

I need a front lip now I didn't wanna run one on such a stock looking car but it doesn't look to bad.

phenom3030

Like the front lip too, what brand/name is it? Also how did you affix your plate in the new location?

WhiteonBlack

Thanks! You don't get rolled for no front plate? or you just haven't yet?

WhiteonBlack

I got the lip from a previous owner that parted out his car. Im not sure on the brand name but the fitment is good As for the license plate I actually used black tie wraps and fed it through the opening in the mesh and ill tell you the plate isnt moving from there. I dont like how the tie wraps stand out though thats why its just temporary

WhiteonBlack

The front lip really changes the look of the car IMO makes it a worlds more aggressive in the front but if you dont want the carbon fiber on a stock car maybe paint it black or color match it to your car if your not looking for carbon fiber

WhiteonBlack

Hey guys just some updates on my car. I got a renntech style trunk spoiler and a roof spoiler both carbon fiber. I dipped the front grill with matte black in the back and gloss bars and star. Also dipped the rims gloss black and peeled the center caps. Just now got my windows tinted 50% in the front and 20% in the rear. Living in cali we have strict tint laws so went light in the front but looks dark in the shade.

So you plasti dipped the plastic pieces that the DRL mounts into along with the chrome trim around the DRL?

WhiteonBlack

Yeah I just basically masked off that whole area around the DRLs including the white paint and just dipped over everything and then peeled off where the glass was for the led's. Really easy to do

dudeitsmattx

Hmmmm I did the chrome trim around the DRL but not the other part. What made you want to do that?

WhiteonBlack

I had the chrome trim originally then I saw a member on there did his whole thing to make it look like a bigger vent almost like the black series and I decided to give it a try. It looks great and make it look WAY more aggressive with the front lip I have on it

dudeitsmattx

Yeah I like it. I may do it what about the center one?

MJ50

i'd keep sidemarkers white and remove stripes on the fender...

WhiteonBlack

The black side markers are fine with me but actually took the stripes off the fenders today. Drew too much attention to the car it looks nice and clean now
