The wheels look great! Honestly... I really don't understand why people don't think these stock rims look great! They look even better in black... I can't wait to get mine done.

Agreed. The first thing I'm doing is getting the windows tinted, then a week later the wheels will be powder coated gloss black. I love the stock rims on this car, and this is the first car that I can say that about.

jsharp what did you use to black out your taillights? Your car looks sweet.

jsharp · 01-10-2010, 08:18 PM

Headlight armour all the way!!!!! That was the easiest best fitting layover tint I have ever tried. I ordered GTS set held it up to the car and I about threw up because I paid so much and they were going to look like crap in my opinion maybe I had a bad set. I sold them 5 minutes later for what I gave for them. I bought the whole headlight armour kit and it is easy to install and looks awesome. I did stealth smoke on everything exept headlights and fog lights and they are smoke. I would say I have lost about 10-15% light on regular beams and about the same on high beams. Not hardly even noticed. Angel eyes are a little harder to see at dusk than they were before that is the only thing I miss. Thanks for compliment

Your car looks sharp. My black SS is headed he same direction as yours. I've got the bowties blacked out and am headed towards medium smoking the lights so I greatly appreciate the testimonial for Headlight armour.

Given you have stealth smoked everything including the front marker lights but didn't do the reverse lights I wanted to ask why? Did you have any problems/concerns doing that? Thanks for the help.

I am new to the forums and was actually browsing along because I am considering getting an SS for my next car. Alot of the pictures provided in this thread has swayed my vote to get one!

I had a question, since i will most likely do the all around exterior tint also...for the headlights would you be kind enough to post a picture during the day with the halos on...i would like to see, and im sure everyone else too, how bright it is through the tint. Thank you
