Nice mods and thanks for the pix.
So do you feel any difference with the RPI hood scoop?

I got my tint from http://www.rvinyl.com/store/ShopCart.aspx, you have to take your time to squeeze all the bubbles out its hard sometimes you just poke it with a sharp needle and use the blower dryer to shrink it so it can release all the air and water. the rear tint was difficult thought, I can never get it perfect still got some line marks because of that one curve that sticks out in the rear but thanks...
Rvinyl has pretty good quality films. I bought some for the front headlights to protect from small rocks and they have from clear to yellow to tint and blue.
I believe they also use 3m films on most of their films... The rears are pretty good too I just ordered them but haven't had a chance to install them...

Good job 
BTW What paint/process did you use for the grills? I've been dying to do something with a set of OEM kidneys I've got laying around, but wasn't sure whether there's a paint that would stick...

I am not as adventureous with the films as I had a bad experience once upon a time with window tints

thanks guys well the back is hard just to let u know that one curve is tough just take your time tinting it and be careful not to stretch it. it took me and my friend to tint it, have another helper because its easier with two people.
painted the grill with dupli color black, putted 3 4 coats and 3 4 coats of clear coat looks nice n shiny.XD
