Tint done! What's next?

So I got my windows tinted today! Love the way it looks. Also ordered OEM ballasts and bulbs to upgrade the halogens. Cost more but at least I won't have to worry about mounting the ballasts. Next up I am thinking splash guards and painting the calipers. What color looks right with stock rims and silver paint? Black? It would kind of match the tint and be a clean look. If you have pics post them. I'd love to see what you guys have done to your calipers.

Before:


After (not that I needed to tell you guys that):

Looking good! What % tint is it?

About the calipers, I would paint them the same silver of your car if mine was the same color as yours. I know, not much contrast, but I think I'd like the clean looks, not sure if that's your style as well. The OEM splash guards look pretty good on this car.

Also, are you considering the rear spoiler wing? Just wondering if you have a "wish list" for things to do to it. Good luck on your next mod!!

Nice I like it. Not too dark to get bothered by the popo. BTW judging by the incline of the passenger seat, looks like somebody likes to sit low like a gangsta

Speaking of Popo...Just got pulled over and ticketed for my tints...My guy is taking care of the ticket though. But, the guy was being such a dirt bag bc my car is loud and he literally came out of nowhere.

The tint is 35%. Legal limit in Illinois. I tend to like my cars to look clean, not too flashy. The kind of looks people might not notice at a distance, but when they take a closer look at the car they say "damn that's sharp".

Next up I am replacing the front bumper cover. It has some damage from the previous owner. When I replace that I am tossing in Xenon. Bought OEM ballasts and bulbs off of Ebay. After that going with splashguards and spoiler. Also painting the calipers. I like the idea of silver and black. I don't think red, yellow, or blue would look right on this car. Last I am thinking about the puddle lights. It appeals to my nerd side.

EDIT: Oh almost forgot fog kit as well. Might as well upgrade that when the bumper cover is being replaced.

VERY NICELY DONE.

That's looking darker than I expected 35% to look

Re: splash guards... get them things painted body color to match...another little bit of subtlety that adds to the class factor.

I looked at that option, but seems to be a bit too much for me. In my humble opinion it starts approaching flashy and flashy can turn into ricer. I tend to stay away from that.
