Debating on going ALL the way and black the rest out(grille, lights, lugnuts). I know there are already a few "murdered" out Vs but not around here, and it cost me about 500$ to make it look like this so I say not to shabby! what yall think?

Looks great! I would do the grills as well. Did you do gloss black or semi-gloss?

Did you just have yours painted? I haven't looked into it much but are the side markers easy to get out?

i use the VHT Nightshades spray paint and just taped around them and sprayed them while on the car, too much work to take them out when tis so easy to just tape and spray. you can buy a can of the VHT stuff for under 10 bucks and proabably do every light on the car. im sure if you search the forum you can find the exact write up on how to use it.

Definately do the fogs and corner lenses either blacked out or clear. The orange looks ugly.

Looks good, do the grill, frame is shiat plastic that can be painted, pay a few extra bucks and get the grill powdercoated.
Now sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but watch the headlamp and tail light tinting as it is illegal in FL, I just got ticketed for my C6 two weeks ago. Of course we all thought most LEOs could care less, and most are cool with it, but some are having slow days/weeks/months and need to hit quota. The fine is like $200.00, or waived if you remove within 30 days.
