Okay. Here is the latest update.
They couldn't get me in for the TPMS sensor replacement this afternoon. I couldn't call for an appointment until I had the thing in my hand. So, I'll be in there first thing in the morning.
Then, I'm of to see the tint guy. I found a better guy than the one I was going to use. This guy does it all. Besides windows and headlights, he does graphics for police and fire vehicles, body wraps and more. He is going to install my Lamin-X headlight tint and my LMS windshield banner. If I don't like the banner, I have a couple white LMS logo stickers for the rear 1/4 windows. We are also going to look at putting a light tint on my Blue Ovals. Just enough to tone them down a bit. I got the idea from looking at his Facebook where he had blacked out a Blue Oval on an Edge. That was actually painted and looked really good. So I thought, hey! How about a little light tint?
The weather should be good temp wise for a few days. May get a little rain tomorrow afternoon. This guy I am using has a way of accelerating the curing process and I have commandeered the garage for tomorrow night. I am hoping to get her all cleaned up and have some new pictures to post this weekend. Yeehaw!

Thanks guys! Here are a couple of preliminary pics. Car is filthy! I can wash it tomorrow afternoon and get some good pics. Had fantastic experiences at both shops today. More on them later too. Since I barely slept last night I'll be taking a nice long nap now, absent of all the anxiety!

Yeah Mark. I did notice that it appeared a touch darker than yours. It is the Lamin-X "Tint" (light) designation. It is much lighter than the gun smoke (medium) I had on there before. Probably about half as dark. But, also, it is very overcast here today.

Okay guys! Time to toot the horns of two of my favorite shops. Up first is Advanced Auto Clinic in Delavan, WI. They are the guys who did my wheel mounts. They also discovered why my TPMS notice kept coming up and driving me crazy. One of the sensors was registering 29 psi when in fact there was 40 psi. (Two dealers failed to diagnose.) They also took great care of my new wheels. Today, they put the new sensor in and I think I'm good. Great bunch of guys there!

Next up is Fire Guys Tint. Joe is the man over there! I can't compliment his work enough and guess what? He drives an XSport! He did a fantastic job on my headlight tint using a steamer. They really came out perfect. He may be showing up here pretty soon. If anyone needs tinting, wrapping, etc. and lives within a couple of hours of Antioch, IL I recommend you use him. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him while he worked. A real car guy!

Thanks guys! I'm very happy.
Well, it looks that way because of the overcast. We didn't do the Blue Oval emblems. Too much curve around the edge.
I don't know what % the headlight tint is. It is only designated as "Tint" (light) on Lamin-X website. But my best guess would be close to 50%. Pretty close to what my windows are.
