Thanks, I really like the stripes and the tint. I think it made a big difference. Now I need Brembo brakes.
I started to go to 30% on the tint but didn’t want to chance it because most of the time it’s ok, but my luck I’d have to remove it and pay a fine.
I’m adding heated seats next week, and I think I’ll be done.
I went with 20% all the way around and 20" wheels.

That is sharp!
Here's mine with 20%. It's only 28% here in MS. But, I also added a 5% strip on the windshield(which is legal, but can't be more that 6" width. Got this done this morning........Boy what a difference, like night and day(no pun intended)

I do have a question or two. Has anyone experienced a void in the headlights at night. I had to wait for mine to come from the mfg plant, so they gave me a GT-Line as a loner for a week. Well this is what it looks like on the loner and my car. Check out the "V" shape void at center left. #2 question, has anyone seen these streaks in their windows? I asked the tint guy and he said it maybe in the glass as there is(like the windshield) a film sandwiched in between two panes of glass. So my salesman is getting with his team at the dealership to see what can be done. And yes, I tried windex on the both driver/passenger sides as they both exhibit the same flaw, but never disappeared. So I chalked it up to maybe the tint folks chemicals would be stronger. Well, no so much. Any one have any ideas....................

Man, couldn't imagine an LXS could look this great. Great job. Hopefully with this forum more ppl will join in with other ideas. I have also changed out the center hub caps with the "K5" ones from Amazon, and the front hood and rear deck lid KIA with the KIA Symbols overlay, also on Amazon. Could be a nice look on yours..

Let us know about those overlays and the quality of them. I was also wanting to get some but wasn't sure. Thanks for the nice words too..

Have any of you had issues with the tint bubbling around the dot matrix? I read its normal and I really like having my sunvisor strip but it looks so bad with the dot matrix bubbling.

Use clear nail polish for glue on the dot mattix 👌🏼 I worked as a detailer at a tint/detail shop and used it all the time.
got 5% all the way around and a 30% windshield 👌🏼

Hey did you have any issue tinting the windshield. My tint guy said he doesn’t recommend It because it messes up the front module sensor..

Planning on doing my windshield but now I'm curious of this.
