Well my car's gonna get in to be painted in two weeks, I just got:

~ SE Front and Rear
~ SPO Spoiler
~ SPO Grills (still haven't arrived)

Any suggestions of stuff to do to it before I get it painted? Or any suggestions at all for my car interior/exterior.

What color should I put in the Pontiac inserts in the front and rear bumpers?

I'd say tint the windows and go with reflective black inlays for the bumpers!!!

You have to see it for yourself really. The pictures vary by the light. Go to a tint shop and see how 15% really looks like.

That is bad idea to tint on front windshield. All states are illegal. I'm 100% sure that you will pull over by police.

My Ohio tint law allow any % are rear window and back doors. My front door is supposed to be 50% but I hate that so I keep all 5% around but not windshield. You may add tint on top of windshield where our stock tint from Pontiac if you like. I just keep my stock tint that don't bother me. I'm not sure where you are from. There is some tint law %.

There is mine from today. I took it because I love sexy water spots from good wax :lol: Good example as no tint on my winter beater and tint on my summer car.

I see Michgan law is 35% all around but no windshield.

I hope you can see out there at night. My 5% was little tough to see at night when I'm working night shift.

Srsly, don't tint the windshield. That's a bad move.
