Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Do you know if those are still available? I'd like to get some, they look pretty sweet.

I've heard about debadging. How do you do it without scratching the paint? I would take off all the badges if I could.

You can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat up the badge you are going to remove. Then use something like fishing line to get behind the badge and help you remove it. There will be adhesive left on the car so use something like goo gone or 3M adhesive remover to remove it. After that you are good to go.
 
What also works real well for the adhesive is a eraser. You can get one for your drill and it works great..

That's probably one of the studpidest things ever. They look terrible and why you would get compliments on it is beyond me... Must be hanging around the rice crowd.

tinted windows and tails

THOSE grills are ugly. they are flat and have no depth to them. you need something like the street scene grills. something with a nice shape to it.
 
I don't know about the SS grilles but I got my grilles from FIG and I hated them. If you have a light colored car then be careful. My car's white and I got gloss black figs and they weren't shaped really good and the lip that the stock grilles cover up shows and looks horrid imo.

I have GPO grilles painted dark gray to match my lower fascia in my car now and love them. :th_thumbsup-wink:

agreed. honestly wouldnt do grilles. stock ones look good especially if you make a grille badge for them
