"Notorious Tintz", a tint shop in Livonia, MI. He did great work -- vinyl wrapped the handles while they were still on the car, did the A-panels, tinted the fender signals, and the headlights.. I am still on the fence about the headlights, I might pull off the tint and joeymod

Undream, the combination of well done modifications and photography make your Clubbie one of the best I've seen!

THANKS! So I won't offend anyone if I post a couple more






All aesthetic mods so far. I plasti-dipped the gas cap, headlight rings, and grill trim. black beltline kit from outmotoring, stubby antennae from outmotoring. Vinyl handles, 35% all around window tint, A-panels and headlight/side blinkers done by Notorious tintz, Livonia MI. Clear starshield (invisishield) over entire front of the car, sides near rear wheels, door edges, and top of back bumper. Other than that, its a stock S, I didnt even get any options except the spoiler. hehe.

Now that there is no more chrome on my car, I think the only thing left is a new set of wheels & tires next spring!!!! I ordered all seasons with it, hoping they might suffice this winter.. We'll see....

They are tinted with a film. I'm actually debating pulling them off though!!!



They give the headlights a bit of a yellow-ish tint. I imagine they would look better if i had the HID setup, but, I didn't think it was worth the dough when I bought the car. I'm really leaning toward joeymod!

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon this Clubbie and I had to buy it.
Last weekend painted the chrome trim around the grill, headlights, side scuttles and gas cap. The door handles will be a project for another weekend. The wheels will get powder coated black, hopefully before the end of the year. Lowering springs are on order

Ah yes! I forgot to mention the belt line and the joey mod as well. I still have to do a bit more research on those.

Thanks!
I ordered Eibach springs. I was able to get them for $200 shipped and the factory is giving another 10% mail in rebate on top of that.
I'll take some before and after pictures.
