Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

It was also my first time tinting and debadging a car but I think it came out well due to my use of professional grade film and having all of the proper tools and watching a bunch of Youtube videos. I will have pics of the rear up soon, because I ran out of film I already ordered some more, I started out with more than enough film, but messed a bunch up (Gotta crack some eggs when learning to cook an omelet!)so I'll post more pics when I finish.

I also forgot to mention that I'm using 35% all around, I like the uniformity of it.

I also think the debadging really cleans it up, and due to the european styling it makes it look more exotic, especially on the rear.

Thanks, I think my next mod would be to shave the antenna. It looks like a giant remote controlled car with it.

I like it, that car is almost identical to the 89 I had, minus the tint. That black trim looks so good on white paint.
Waiting on the follow up pics

Love this shot of mine..it was a real cream puff!

Tint looks great, most people around here tint windows but dont clean up the black window trim and it looks awful... excellent job

I personally like badges and emblems... on most cars I add or change them to make phantom cars or trim packages. I was very disapointed that my jeep was debaged when i purchased her... oh well that much easier to paint her when the time comes. Your car looks great imho, I cant even see where yours were on the sides, it was like they were never there... and truth betold, most cars are designed with out badges or even knowing what the car will be called

So badges?...
We don't need no stinkin' badges!
Roads... Where we're going, we don't need roads
