    Window tint is in the process to get done but no tint on the tails.

    Bet you like those wheels every time you look at the car.

    I never even noticed the no tint. I am always marvelling at that gloss, so liquid and smooth.
    After 16 years how many times have you heard the needs tint?
    What would you do 20 or 35?....looks like CA laws says 70VLT for front and whatever for backs

    WI is 50 front and 35 backs....I did all 35, never got bothered in the 8 years.

    I've been busted twice for tint and for no front plate when I had the plate filler. Looking into some things that I can do for the plate filler. I'm going to do tint for sure.

    A better photo showing the rear letters from Emblem Pros.

    These are onyx (black mirror stainless steel) with the etched perimeter.

    Thanks. He offers some for the GTO if you are interested in getting a set (http://emblempros.com/___2005_2006_gto?b=1). He does great work on these.

    Anyway onto the good stuff.

    I installed the center caps overlays and the front arrowhead overlay today.

    Before shot of the uncovered center cap with the lightly embossed "BOSS" Motorsports logo.



    After of the same wheel.



    Various install photos.



    The logo does show from certain angles with the overlay on.





    Also transferred my old valve stem caps over to the new wheels.



    Front arrowhead - OEM



    New overlay in gloss black and brushed aluminum with the reflec-dome option. Fits very good.





    The zoomed out view with the new emblem.



    One last view. Plan on rinseless washing it tomorrow.

    Wouldn't it have been easy to fill those logo's on the caps first? But looks good!

    Exactly this. Posted with no words so not clear what was going on.

    Thanks. But eh too much work. Easier to slap a decal over it and call it a day. They are not embossed to high.

    Thanks. Matt at Reflective Concepts got the center caps done for me in 1 day and I had them in about 2-3 days. He does good work.

    Ok what did you use on the tires? Got em jacked for a no dead spot approach I take it.

    The center caps work well but what I really like is the front emblem.

    HA that tire gel has been on for 2 weeks. It's Pinnacle Black Onyx. I won that last year on Autopia Car Care. Forgot I had it. That's 2 coats on the tire. It's actually pretty good. I don't jack the car up to apply tire gel. I just move it back to expose the are that wasn't covered. I take it you like the look.
