| Thanks. I just figured I'd give it a shot. I didn't have much money into the tint anyway and now I have more tools. Which is totally fine with me. I can never have enough tools and equipment for stuff  | |

| I've done tint on all my cars before, but I always have a snag here or there and it never comes out perfect. So I'm just gonna have a pro do it. | |

| Yes I am and thanks. It turned out better than I would have been able to do. Next steps going to be the rims or exhaust. | |

| I just got the trunk cover back from getting it gold plated from the same company I bought the side emblems from. Turned out real nice. I also repainted the inside emblem as well. Here are some pics of it.  photo sharing websites  how do you print screen  image sharing

| Yes they did. Would have liked to have gotten more of a chrome look with the R when I painted it, but it still looks good enough to me. The other emblem was so corroded on the back it was eating away at itself. So I'm glad I was doing this anyway. Oh and I got the car washed during lunch, lol. | |
