Looks good. 30 on windshield seems aggressive. I think I have 75 on mine.

I’m sure you mean well.... but isn’t that obvious? I’d do what another member did. Just wrap everything chrome or brushed in high gloss black or carbon fiber or powder coat.

Wrapped all the chrome on mine last week. Also did the window tint. 20% sides and back with 50% on the windshield.
Replacing all the chrome lettering with gloss black tomorrow. I also ran some vinyl on the side of the headlight to hide the orange reflector until I have time to pull the headlights, bake them a part, and black out all the chrome housing.

On a black car, no one even sees the vinyl on the headlight until I specifically point it out to them.
As for the tint, I considered going that route, but with an already tinted windshield, I didn’t want to further reduce my ability to see at night by limiting the headlight output. I drove my buddy’s GTS before purchasing mine. His has 50% windshield tint and lightly tinted headlights, and it was really hard to see, but it does look really good.

Are you asking if it would look better than the black vinyl or just better in general?
