Ditched everything but the H. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The passenger side is in direct sunlight, there really isn't a noticeable difference in how light or dark the tails look in even lighting.

Nice job. I'm going for a clean look on the 98 Accent. I don't like what I have on there now. Then the make and model was painted or a sticker. Where as the newer models have actual emblems. I'll probably make something on my own to put on anyways, but for now I'll go clean.

You've done a great job !!! I'm surprised you haven't tinted the windows yet? Which would really set it off.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna tint the windows. I hate having tinted windows, but love the way it looks. Between tinted reverse lights and having tinted windows backing up at night will be nearly impossible. But it will look a lot better.

I also blacked out my front grille, so the only shiny stuff I have left is the wheel lips and headlight and fog light housings.

Looks great with the tinted lights. I am a fan of smooth and clean.

If you tint and not much of a fan of it, then you wouldn't have to go too dark. just do 50% on back windows only. it'll be subtle enough and you should still see fine at night.

I think it looks great! I was kind of hoping to see your 'H' black but the tinting doesn't look bad at all either

I'm going to pull the rear H and powder coat it black actually I think.

Is powder coating easy to do? I see occassionally @ Harbor Freight they have powder coating systems fairly cheap sometimes.
