Default First wax after my tint job...

I need an actual camera...cell phones just don't take good pictures.

















New Dome Light, probably going to need to switch to red LED. Same with the foot lights.







And a night one I took a few weeks back...




I'll try and take some night pictures tonight. I need a new camera!

I also need some new headlights. Probably going to go with projectors at some point. I didn't seal these all the way. So they're scratched, and fogged. I'll probably try and sell these for someone looking for a project.

Oh, and my tinting is 20% front, and 5% rear. Totally going to get pulled over in about 2 weeks.

Looks great, tint does wonders for a car! As far as other things to do... I'm kind of a plain and simple guy my suggestions: tint the tails and back-up lights, at least back-up lights, not sure what is legal in CA and then CAI, Looking to get one for the Impala SS. The SLP on my 03 makes the engine scream I can't imagine what one will do for the 5.3. BTW where did you get your overlays? Are they plain black or reflective? I had to do homemade ones for my wheels, from a distance they look great but if you get down on their level... well not so much.

Looks great, I like the homeless guy just cruising through. And get that gray plastic on the front and rear bumper at the bottom painted gloss black, it will really help the look of the car alot. cc

JAFO,

Yeah, I really want to tint the rear lights and the back up lights. I'm really not worried about whats legal in CA. Granted, I say that before I get the ticket... But the guys at the tintshop said it would be about 200 to tint the tails since they're sealed. So I'm going to have to hold off as long as I can.

I got my overlays from some place online. http://www.reflectiveconcepts.com/ Though, the site isn't working now sadly. The overlays for the SSs, GM, and the bowties for the wheels totalled about $25.

Enzo,

I never thought about doing that. I'll definitly have to put that on the to-do list.

Very nice Monte. I love the ones with v8's. Next thing on your list should be a turbo
