I thought I would just post a few pics of my car since I just got my windows tinted (20%) yesterday and color matched the bow ties a couple of weeks ago.

Let me know what you think.

Sorry for the quality of pics, they are just with my phone and it was raining in one of them.

Hopefully next weekend I will get the tail lights and side markers tinted.

Very nice, especially on a black car. The tinted taillights will finish it off nicely.

I gotta paint my bowties....

PTM FTW! Great job, post up pics of the tinted tails when you get em done too.

OK, showing my lack of texting knowledge here, but what does "FTW" mean? I know what "WTF" means!

FTW= FOR THE WIN

I only know because a buddy of mine says it all the time.

Thanks for the feedback, but I have to now ask the other question...

What does PTM mean?

Paint To Match.

It Really looks good! I am very interested in seeing the tinted lights also.

LOL @ stupid internet sayings.

These pictures of the tint should be a little better, and I will post some pictures of the lights when I get them done. I hope it will be this saturday, but with working 55+ hours a week and adding in another 10+ hours of drive time to and from work, it makes it a a little hard to find time!

I think the car can use the "missing chrome piece", since it looks like the front license plate bracket was never installed it would clean.

Much better (pics). I hear you on the time thing. Hey, how are you going to paint the lights? You using VHT Niteshades or having a shop paint em for you?

+1 on that.

 

[2009]

Yes, I was looking at the pictures earlier and thought that chrome piece would look good.

As for the lights, I am having a shop do it and to tell you the truth I have no clue what they use. They have done it on my buddy's G35 and F150 and it looks great on both, although it does look better on the G35 because of the LED's.

Here is the site I followed for the past few vehicles I have done. It comes out really nice too. http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/How_to_Smoke_Taillights

That stuff is really popular. Here is my suggestion, I did a write-up on another forum I frequent when I smoked the tails on my Silvy. Check it out. I used only automotive grade paint and clear, no rattle can.

I used VHT nightshades on my Sierra tail lights and they turned out nicely. I first did it on my third brake light but I think it still had some moisture on the lense and the tint ended up with lightning looking lines through it. I will probably eventually do the same to this car after I brighten the bulbs. I don't want to tint the factory lights, I see it as a safety issue.

 

[2009]

The lights are not hard to see at all when they are tinted. Like I said the LED's show up better then the standard lights, but imo this is no way a safety issue, but to each their own!
