Mud flaps for the Limited

Today Sandi installed her Rally Armour mud flaps on her Limited.  The addition of the flaps really changes and improves the overall look and shape of the car.  The black also ads a nice accent to all the Satin White Pearl paint, and they should help preserve that paint through the winter months and going forward.  While we had the wheels off we also swapped them out for the snow tire set off of my car (since I can't exactly use them right now).

Past Exterior Modifications

Some pictures showing the painted headlights and tail light covers:


When painting the headlights I used the Fusion flat black. I opted to paint over the entire inner housing because the passenger side had been damaged in a parking lot. In doing so they didn't break the lens but it broke a piece of the plastic inside that surrounds the headlight itself. I used epoxy to put it back together before painting. Once painted you can't even see that it was broken.

Also in this pic is the replica front lip. Certainly not as nice as the real ones but considering where it is located I'd rather not spend a ton just to ruin it (it has already bottomed out several times, even at stock height).



The tail light covers are Headlight Armor 30% tint. As you can see in the picture they are very dark when in the shade. With sun light on them the bottom half becomes more transparent and has a kind of brownish tint to it. I am sure the 50% tint version looks even better but I wanted to avoid legal/inspection issues. Overall I am very happy with the look, I was never a fan of all the chrome that came on these cars (Hence the dark theme).
