Well I got a similar car to yours: TiGray color, black rims, 5% tint, smoked tails, smoked corners, smoked heads, and eyelids...

For your debadge question, you might want to try what I did: remove the badges, fill in the holes with body-filler, and then black out your trunk into the lines of the taillights...I can email you pics if you want. I think it turned out pretty well. It's subtle and looks good.

Hope this helps...

 

omg omg pics please. and post em here for everyone to see. sounds sweet!

i think i'm gonna go 5% too, i dont have any spare money for tickets though

san antonio eh? how much attention do you get from cops?

thanks thanks!

 

Okay I'll post pics tomorrow sometime if I remember during the day.
Um for tint, no attention...there's so many people that have it...and if you ever get pulled over just roll down your windows (that's what I did today).
And I did get a ticket today for three charges...check it out here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/what-illegal-need-info-help-specifications-law-168121/

At this point, I'm sure about the license plate...it has to be there. For the tails, I read the Texas law and I think I have a pretty good case for it...but maybe not, so if I do decide to change the tint on the tails, it would end up being the same, just with the brake circle red part back to normal. For the reflectors...that's bullcrap. I want to keep them the same, but just so I avoid the $162 fine if I don't fix them, I'm trading with someone on here for clear corners instead...

I'll post pics tomorrow...

 

woooo ty!

 

Hey how did you fill the holes??
I don't want to use bondo Lol...

 

^^^^ then you must weld them shut...

 

it can't be that expenisve to weld a few holes shut....can it?

 

Re-painting is what will get you. $400 here do debadge 'em.

 

^^lol idk if my body shop guy is just a nice man, but to do all of the following, he charged $100:

-Fill in trunk's holes after I debadged it
-Repaint backside of trunk and part of rear fenders (to go with the car's lines) black
-Smoke my tails
-Smoke my heads
-Paint and install my eyelids

And everything turned out perfect...I'm getting pics up tomorrow, I'll post a new thread with them in the Exterior forum

 

^
Lucky!! and I cant wait to see what you mean by repainting the backside to go with the cars lines

 

nice nice i can't wait to see!

 

Well smart ole pete here broke his camera while taking pictures cuz he dropped it. So, I'll buy a new one tomorrow and hopefully have the pics Wednesday. I am such an idiot...oh well, it was a pretty old camera anyways hahah

 

lol well Ill be looking for some pics wednesday

 

Is the front emblem a sticker or w/ holes? If I end up getting a grille I think I'd take it off.

 

I'm pretty sure the front has 2 pegs but I'm not positive

 

yes the front has two locating post = two holes...

 

what would be best to use to get them back on? (take em off, repaint)

 

i used some tape from walmart...it's double sided and it has like a white and green background... i believe on the label it talks about how it can hold up a 5 lb picture forever guaranteed... anyways i bought it and used it for my rear emblems for about 3 weeks (through carwashes and stuff too) and it worked fine...

 

thought Id share these again...

 

^ just showing off your skills all over today, eh?

 

yeah I guess ,,, just wait til you guys see my fenders and hood,,, probably wont be finished til the summer,,, but they are gonna be sick...
