Well done. It's hard to beat the looks of a well planned black car.

The rear wing is a problem and I want it gone. The issue is it was glued on with polyeurethane which is hard as nails once it is cured after 3-5 days. When the wing is removed the entire trunk will have to be repainted. :thumbsdown: So, I'm basically going to be stuck spending about $400 to repaint the whole trunk. Hindsight is 20/20, I should have never put it on.

I loved having my windshield tinted...It was the best! I really want to do it to my 997 but I can't!

Tint the taillights! But make sure you tint only the red, the contrast looks heeeella sick. I did mine today, oh baby.

Looks great Howie. Now you're making me consider redoing mine as well. I currently have 35% all around but thinking maybe I'll do 20% on the back three windows and 35% on the driver and front passenger sides. Hmm...

Go with 20% all around...looks much more cleaner.
