Re: 08 Grand Prix (Headers Installed)
Did my VHT tint today, it looks better than i thought it would, so here is my take on vht, i put one coat on a headlight, sanded, tinted, sanded, tinted, clear coat. on the other headlight i sanded, tinted, tinted. and the one where i didnt use clear coat is much more shiney that the one i clear coated, so idk if this is how it works but i just left it. because it looks very good. the other one is a bit cloudy. the one in the next picture is the one i clear coated.
It has pretty good light output though, i am waiting for the HID's to get here
some photos of the fog, they were much easyier
not tinted yet
SPO Grilles!
Oh and just for reference i haven't washed it yet, after my 8 hour drive

Re: 08 Grand Prix (Headers Installed)
looking good.
the headlight you put clear on, well it needs to be wet sanded with like 2000 grit and then compounded to get the scratches out of it, but afterwards it will shine like mad. if you have a porter cable buffer they work real good, makes short work vs doing it by hand.

Retros would have been have real nice, but they still look great either way

Re: 08 Grand Prix (Sidemarkers and More)
I'm sure it was a PITA. What did you do to split them? Time and temp of oven? I'm going to be retroing the tinted OEM ones, and not looking forward to it.
I like the whole black and white scheme going on. I'm gonna paint my UIM someday whenever it comes up on the list of **** to do. *le sigh*

i had them at 240* in for like 7-8 minutes at a time, i just had a flat head and just slowly pryed them off
One took like 5 or 6 different time to actually get apart the other went quick once i knew what to do
