Before & After pics (well, almost after)

Before pics were taken by the dealer. These were the ones posted in the ad.
Still want to lower the car and get a proper detail done to bring the paint back to showroom condition.
Not happy with the tint tho. Looking for darker.
And I'll ask my kid to try and take some better pics as my camera skills leave a little to be desired!

Hey Stephen!! Is that the new tint or the old tint? Looks great!

The only thing I would of done differently is on the wheels... I like the polished lips with black centers so it breaks up the colours a bit.. Your car is the true Darth Vader... lol.. I thought mine was all blacked out, but yours takes the cake!

Looks Amazing!

I'm just curious, where did you get your taillights tinted?? And where did you get the trunklid spoiler??

Please let me know, I really want to do it as well to complete the look.

All the best!

I blacked my side mirrors lights, you need to do those to have the full effect, IMHO.

I agree with earlier poster that polished wheel lips with black center would look nice.
