Hi Brian,
Thanks - I have used Star Shader in South Hill Puyallup for years. Mick has been tinting windows for over 25 years and came from So Cal where he did a long list of celebrity cars. He does absolutely amazing work, so its worth the cruise all the way to South Hill...

Yeah - we'll definitely have to hook up some time soon...

Yes the plate frames are definitey coming off--I'm disgusted that Barrier did that, especially since it was a wholesale purchase from a dealer! I'm debating on having the front bumper repainted and then going with a clear bra. I don't have a front plate on any of my cars and have never been pulled over. Just debating on the best option--at a minimum I can put my own dealership's plate on... Just the last thing I have to address...

 

I was thinking about having the detail work done by a pro, but I enjoy doing that kind of stuff myself.
