Well I got a similar car to yours: TiGray color, black rims, 5% tint, smoked tails, smoked corners, smoked heads, and eyelids...
For your debadge question, you might want to try what I did: remove the badges, fill in the holes with body-filler, and then black out your trunk into the lines of the taillights...I can email you pics if you want. I think it turned out pretty well. It's subtle and looks good. Hope this helps... |

Okay I'll post pics tomorrow sometime if I remember during the day.
Um for tint, no attention...there's so many people that have it...and if you ever get pulled over just roll down your windows (that's what I did today). And I did get a ticket today for three charges...check it out here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/what-illegal-need-info-help-specifications-law-168121/ At this point, I'm sure about the license plate...it has to be there. For the tails, I read the Texas law and I think I have a pretty good case for it...but maybe not, so if I do decide to change the tint on the tails, it would end up being the same, just with the brake circle red part back to normal. For the reflectors...that's bullcrap. I want to keep them the same, but just so I avoid the $162 fine if I don't fix them, I'm trading with someone on here for clear corners instead... I'll post pics tomorrow... |

Re-painting is what will get you. $400 here do debadge 'em.
|
^^lol idk if my body shop guy is just a nice man, but to do all of the following, he charged $100:
-Fill in trunk's holes after I debadged it -Repaint backside of trunk and part of rear fenders (to go with the car's lines) black -Smoke my tails -Smoke my heads -Paint and install my eyelids And everything turned out perfect...I'm getting pics up tomorrow, I'll post a new thread with them in the Exterior forum |
^
Lucky!! and I cant wait to see what you mean by repainting the backside to go with the cars lines |
nice nice i can't wait to see!
|
Well smart ole pete here broke his camera while taking pictures cuz he dropped it. So, I'll buy a new one tomorrow and hopefully have the pics Wednesday. I am such an idiot...oh well, it was a pretty old camera anyways hahah
|
lol well Ill be looking for some pics wednesday
|
Is the front emblem a sticker or w/ holes? If I end up getting a grille I think I'd take it off.
|
I'm pretty sure the front has 2 pegs but I'm not positive
|
yes the front has two locating post = two holes...
|
what would be best to use to get them back on? (take em off, repaint)
|
i used some tape from walmart...it's double sided and it has like a white and green background... i believe on the label it talks about how it can hold up a 5 lb picture forever guaranteed... anyways i bought it and used it for my rear emblems for about 3 weeks (through carwashes and stuff too) and it worked fine...
|
thought Id share these again...
