I thought about it but since I am not tinting the tails- I passed on it

I am leasing the car and will probably give back the car with some of the mods

Joe did my car as well, I didnt do the front bumper, yet.... He does nice work. Maybe i will see you running down the LIE. Small world.

did you paint the front reflectors yourself or order pre-painted ones? i'm also looking for painted ones for my car with 5DK side-view cameras, but space gray

how do you remove those reflectors?

Why no smoked tails? Tint/smoke the red part and leave the clear stip. White out the red reflectors in the bumper. You did too much other work to leave those things alone. Other than that, it looks amazing!

Looks great! You should also tint the trinagular side markers to complete the blk-out look. They're very easy to do, just get a roll of elastic/flexible tint (not window tint), pop off the markers and wrap the tint around it. 5 mins each side at most.

How did your shop paint and glue the badges back on? I can't find double-sided tape that is thin and sturdy enough to hold the badges in place.


Did your rear windows come tinted from factory? I want to tint all my windows at ~40%, but am worried that "double tinting" the rear windows would make it too dark, and won't match the front doors.
