Default Tints, Debaged, and 8 hours of detailing...

I got my windows tinted yesterday and I think they turned out great. 35% all the way around and 50% on the front windshield. I got up this morning and began the detailing process. (I've had the car since Monday Evening and have been dieing to detail it.) During the detail I decided to debadge the rear, and I am happy with the results. Anyways, here are some pictures of the car. My initial reaction to the exterior is that: I need to get rid of the orange side markers and that I need some LED tails. Does anybody have a good place to get a set of smoked side markers? Hope you all enjoy the pics!

Pictures do not do justice! I saw a sport design like this at our local meet and boy does it shine. Graphite grey pearl is becoming my favorite color
