New pictures of my freshly waxed and tinted 2k2 GLE

Click on each picture for the full-size. The tint is 15% on the rear window and doors and 35% on the front doors. I'm glad that the car finally doesn't look like a fishbowl

Man you should see it up close, lots of pearly colors in it. Unfortunately I think this was driven on the highway a lot by the first owner so it has lots of pits on the front from rocks and a few other scratches here and there.

Great job!! The chips and pits in the hood are all part of the Maxima ownership experience.

I used turtle wax and it took maybe 30 minutes. I didn't need to do a crazy thorough job on it because it was detailed by the dealer on wednesday when I bought it.

No, red tails look much better than the smoked ones. Neither looks good on some colors, but on our cars blacked out lights look even worse. Just get the 02 tails, now they look beautiful.

Easy dude. So why are you getting the chrome tails when black is "4 lyfe" anyway?

I would only tolerate the clear tails on a white car, every other color just looks tacky IMO
