how ez are those SHO "ornaments" to remove? i got some new 2013 ones coming and dont wanna break stuff and i was wondering what type of 3M tape you use to do the badges.

 

[DJE624]

Very easy.  When you get the new ones, look at the back.  You will see how they clip in and where the clips are.  Then, just shove a credit card or thin plastic putty knife in the slot around the edge where each clip is.  If you do the tops, the thing will basically fall right out into you hand.  Then, just pop the new ones in.  You'll hear them click.

Dave, I think the reason the tint looks darker is because it's on a white car, I really think it looks good, I think it doesn't look as dark on my red car just because of the color. Also glad to hear you had such a good experience with the installer!

 

[DJE624]

Thanks Mark.  You're probably right about looking lighter on a darker car.  Joe, the installer is a member here now. Busyman.  I had a great time talking with him as he worked.  I didn't want to leave. When I first drove up, I saw that the White XSport on his Facebook was actually his ride.  I knew it was going to be a good experience!  It's quite a relief to kiss that nightmare I had with the headlights GOOD BYE!

Not a chance for that.  The grill, bezels and wheels match.  I almost think I should have done a silver banner.  Almost.

Window Surrounds and Trunk Lid Spear Wrapped

Joe The Fire Guy did it again!  Great job on the window surrounds and spear!  It was a tougher job than we thought.  A lot of trimming little corners, etc.  Thanks Joe!

Freekin' Awesome!!  :thumb:  Love it......The work on the oval is way good. Really ads a cool "edge" to your SHO! (no pun intended  LOL) ....Now I know where you were all day!

 

[DJE624]

Thanks!  I love it.  1000 X better than the chrome.  Yeah, the spear was a pain.  It's all one vinyl piece.  We took the emblem off.  Put the vinyl on, then trimmed around the adhesive sponge, then put the emblem back on.  That little edge around the emblem took some time.  When I go back for my check up, I have a new emblem to put on since the clear was peeling a little on the old one.

Sure looks like he did an awesome job!  Looks sharp!

Well, today started out as a nightmare.  I got a call from my dealer that the wheels had showed up.  He then told me that their wheel balancer was on the fritz.  He wanted me to come in next Wednesday!  I almost cried.  I called around to a few good shops.  F & F wanted $40 a pop to re-mount.  I found another place, a really good place that would do them for $20 a pop like the dealer would.  So, I drove 20 some miles each way to go pick up the wheels and bring them to my new guy.  They did a fantastic job!  No damage, TPMS, torqued to 100, hub emblems straight and great treatment.  I found out why my TPMS light has been going on too.  The left front with 40 actual psi is registering at 29 psi.  So, now I can get the dealer to fix that.  I am ecstatic! All I can say is "It looks BOSS"!  Anyway, on to the pictures!

I took a video when they pulled it out for a test drive.  I'll try to get that up.

BOSS is an understatement ..looks great ..what size btw
