    Well to start with I would work on fixing that exhaust and making the car one color again. But as far as window tint goes I would do all the windows because right now my front two windows are not tinted and the rest are and it is really annoying.

    Wow, I JUST now noticed that bahaha. and The pinstripe is fading a little bit towards the rear so that should be no problem at all

    But do yall think I should get the fron end painted the same color as the car then go for a black/purple look?

    I wouldnt mind a white or black car but getting it painted in my area costs about $2,000 and I dont have THAT much money to spare on just paint.

    you get this attachment that goes into your drill and its like a big eraser kinda thing.

    New exhaust hangers is what you'll need.

    Don't buy ROL, buy Walker or GM.

    I would waste my time polishing exhaust tips..... Looks good but you will have to do it like every month or so.

    As far as the pinstripes go, if you have access to a heat gun or maybe a hair dryer use that to heat the area that you are pulling then lift the end of the stripe and keep the area in front of where you are pulling warm (not hot or it will keep breaking) and you can pull the whole strip off or at least break it off in way less pieces. The rubber eraser thing works great too and you can use that under where the badges and dealer stuff was if you decide to remove all that stuff as well.

    Using dental floss takes off the badges well to. Then you just need to take of the sticky tape, i used bug and tar remover then waxed it and it looks good. New hangers and i would go with different tips. I polished mine up some but for the trouble i shouldve just bought new tips. Then i would do a new filter like and open cone or cai.
