Shave it all, go red or leave it?

Looking for some feedback... I've shaved everything but my SS emblems and I'm having a hard time deciding if I should finish the job and go naked, leave well enough alone, or try ordering red Monte Carlo SS emblems off Ebay and see how they look on my car. Any thoughts? Sorry about the pic quality, was using my dad's cam and I was a bit rushed.

Technically speaking you havnt shaved anything; you've debadged you car. Shaving would be taking off the door handles and doing all the body work that would be needed to make the door smooth and then have the door pop open with a electronic actuator. However i like it the way it stands but would be neat to see what red monte badges would look like

Looks pimp. White with polished alum is sweet. Leave it alone. Put a Borla cat back on it and cover up your key hole on the trunk. nice looking tint. What % is it? Nice ride man.

Thanks a lot! The (legal) tint job is only 50% on the front sides and 35% on the rears and back. I would have liked to have gone darker, at least 35% all around if not 20%, but tint laws out here are enforced. Someone posted this on a local cruise board:

had to remove it. get it inspected at vehicle standards. pay my fine and take a 2 demerit hit on my licence. seriously not worth it man.

Illegal tint = straight ownage. I put 20 all around on my mustang and didn't get stopped once. Don't legalize the tint man!!

I think i am going to put 35% all around. I have a Black car so the tint will look even lighter if it is legal. I had a white 03 Rustang with legal tint but because the car was white the tint looked realy dark. My Trailblazer is Blacked out in the back but legal on the fronts and you cant even tell that the fronts are tinted because everything is so dark.

I personally think it's a sin to remove SS badges from the car... but there are some awesome ones on e-bay that aren't as lame as the red montecarlo ones.

I would reposition the trunk badge to one corner or put it in the center... it looks kinda lame hangin out there in the stock location.
