Default Pictures, Head and Taillight Covers Instahled ,new Tint.Driver,Passenger Glass

Thanks Justin: For the front and rear covers!
Please excuse some of the Pics..(There from my phone)
Theyd be much better if Matt took them!

I am seriously considering completely removeing the Grille,
What do you think?

Default Pictures of the Rear Covers etc....

I will apoligize:
My phone doesnt take great pics... especially in the sun!
I actually couldnt even see them in the viewer...lol

if someone knows a great way to fix that rust spot on the left rear quarter...that would be a great help!

Thanks for the pics. The covers look great on the black car! Hope you enjoy them

I agree the grille doesn't seem to fit anymore. Perhaps you could plasti-dip it? Or remove it all together

I have the same rust spot. I'm planning on fixing it this summer. Mine is much worse than yours I'm planning on cutting out the metal and replacing it.

For now, I just hit the spot with some spray paint. It's a pretty redneck temporary fix, but it looks 100 times better than brown rust!

Thanks Justin...
They definately accent it Perfectly!
Did you happen to notice the Tint? I only put 20% on the driver ,passenger windows...(The back 3 are all Limo)
I like how you can barely see thru the fron windsheild as well!(its also tinted) With a LIMO Eyebrow.
I thought about plast dippn the Grille...But I think it'll loook better without it. Thanks! again.

Looks good Dave. I'd say remove the grille altogether and, if it was me, I'd hit that rust spot with a can of spray just for a temporary fix, like Justin mentioned. Remove as much loose paint as possible before, then just fine sand it and buff it out after it dries. That would look better for the short term.

Yes I did. Super jealous too because we can't have tint like that in Iowa

Sure looks good though.
