    Thanks! I took 80grit sand paper, sanded them down to the silver/chrome. Then I used 1000grit sand paper to fine tune it and give it a smoother feel. Took about 5 mins for each tip.

    That's on my list to do. I want 30%-35%. I'm not a big fan of the obnoxiously dark tinted windows.

    I thought of debadging the sides but I kind of like the badge on the back. I have the chrome badge overlays so it really brings it out.

    I think the one on the back should be the first to go!

    Amazingly clean, love the shine.

    That being said, you need to debadge... completely. Trunk, doors, and WTH is that on the fender? (IMO looks gawd awful)
    Its a GT, you have the banner to say that, lose the others and re-polish those spots and WOW.

    I'm still pondering if I want to debadge. Part of me wants to and part of me thinks it will be too bare without them.

    Clean car, good job. What's that badge on the front quarter panel say? Something racing....not a big fan of that deal. Otherwise it looks great.

    Yah, I'm still thinking about that. Part of me likes them and part of me wants them off.

    Personally I don't understand why so many people like the debadged look. Yah I know personal preference. I'm proud to display what it is. Not that many people wouldn't know.
