That looks pretty slick, They almost look like limo tints, Makes me want to go darker.

It's not really that dark. I think it was the angle I took the picture. Plus when it's partial shade, they looked darker. But if it was a bone stock STS, I would have never bought it. But this was so me.

Brian's car is a BLAST! I love driving that car. I offered to take it to my work....just to see if I could get better gas mileage than him. ;-)
My car is strictly sporty. Same gas mileage as the GS. But honestly, looks a TON better than my GS. Has a few better features on it too that I really like.

Thanks Anthony!

Here are some more After pics:

20" (or 22" I forget) AutoCouture wheels that were on the client's previous LS. He's selling them for $800! :whyme: Slight curbage and the tires need to be replaced. I told him he was crazy! Said he paid $4500 for them.




Surface of paint and clear bra look pretty identical. Client was pretty worried about this.

Exhaust tips were polished with a cheap MF and OMP... they weren't very dirty to begin with but they turned out nice.

I wiped the smudging after taking this picture. My car looks like its got a HUGE halo


Wheels and calipers cleaned up.
