Default the finished look of the CTS V!!

sorry for not having good back round pics as we just blacked out everything, did all the performance mods, and got the wheel/tire setup over winter. the weather has been horrible here so dont wanna drive it and slop it all up just for a picture lol. the last pic shows a before and after from when we first bought it till now. (i also just purchased remote cutouts that will be programmed to open and close with the homelink buttons, videos to come soon) enjoy everyone!!

Looks much better man, any thoughts on tinting or blacking out the third brake light? Or maybe the lip around the exhaust tips that is chrome how about blacking that out and use some black exhaust tips instead of chrome? It's the only chrome piece you have showing now looks out of place IMO.

I am planning to black out the exhaust trim but weather needs to get nice as i don't have the room in the garage to do it with the car in there. Good eye on seeing that. I also will be getting the front windows tinted once weather gets nice. As far as the tips I think I am gonna let them the way they are. In time I will probably black out all the tail lights and pull the head lights apart and black out the housings. Tail lights and head lights probably will be done next winter. Thanks for the kind words and the opinions!!

Ok cool. Well great work so far, is it plasti dip or actual paint? And to be honest if you or EL Wifey is driving such a nice car wouldn't you want people to see who's driving that car (my thoughts on not tinting the windows) basiclly. On the M5 I only have the rear window tinted for the sake a cop pulls behind me he won't be able to see me slide the seat belt on since I don't buckel up when I drive.

It's plastidip that way if it gets scratched or bug chips peel it off and respray. Nah the fronts will be tinted I can't stand the look of clear front windows and blacked out backs, to me that's like if I would leave the chrome trim around the exhaust.... clear windows are out of place lol
