Thanks ixfe. Is that the black or charcoal? Did you get to see both before choosing?

I didn’t even know there were two colors. I just asked for 20% tint. Lol

I just sent a text to my tint guy to answer your question. He confirmed that he used BLACK film.

I didn't know either until I started digging around on the link you sent me. Looking at your pic, I would have guessed black. I also found there's a reputable place in town that uses xpel tint. Never considered going with the brand, mainly cause I didn't know they made tint...but would make logical sense. Should be a top shelf brand to go with also.

I did notice you went with the basic tint they offer...any particular reason? That the one your tint guy recommended?

Here’s a question for y’all...

I’m digging the black accents on the car (wheels, rear panel, spoiler, tint, etc). I really wish it had the painted roof option form the factory....

Would you wrap it in vinyl or just go “all in” and have it painted?

My guy gave me two options. Color Stable for $200 or Nano Ceramic XR for $350. Since they are both guaranteed not to fade or block cell, nav, or Bluetooth signals, I honestly didn’t see the point in paying $150 extra. The installer also told me that most of his customers go with Color Stable. He did say that Nano Ceramic is supposed to block more heat, but honestly it sounds like marketing spin to me. I could be wrong. I’m pretty sure the car will get hot inside no matter what I put on it.

Anyway, that was the extent of my thinking on this. It took me longer to write this post than I spent making the decision. Lol

I've been pining for this car since I first saw one in early 2016. I've been desperate to own one since i first drove (and heard) one a couple of months ago. Today was the day I finally made it happen. I'm in shock.

In case you're wondering, I traded in a Chevrolet SS 6-speed manual (aka Holden Commodore). Sad to see that one go, but very excited for the beast I just parked in my garage. I have been on the fence between GT350 and ZL1... I'm not a Chevy guy or a Ford guy. I'm a "buy the best car for me" guy. After two consecutive SS sport sedans, the natural progression was an LT4 car, right? I became obsessed with 650hp. But something just didn't work for me on that car. I got all the way to the finance guy on Thursday on a new ZL1 before I walked out. Something just wasn't sitting well with me. That something was this damn Shelby I can't seem to shake. Today I finally decided to just "send it."

Here she is as they started her up and pulled her off the showroom floor.

Looks like you're at McDavid Ford in Fort Worth? Great people over that way. Got me an insane deal on my 18 GT!

Yep, you guessed it! The deal was fantastic. The follow up has been “meh” at best. I had to drove back there twice to get the splitter installed correctly, something that should have been done before I took delivery.

They also rolled tint $ into my price but didn’t tint the car. They were supposed to do it when I went back for the splitter install. When I got there for the appointment they told me “just get it tinted yourself and send us the receipt.” Lol

Me personally wouldn't have it painted. I'd definitely do wrap. Looking forward to seeing you on the road around here.

Smoked tail lights...

 

[ixfe]

Some pics today after a wash. I also had the headlights and turn signals smoked. I’m happy about the tail lights, reflectors, and turn signals. Not so sure about the headlights. It’s a darker than I imagined. I might peel them...

Try this as an alternative to the fully tinted headlights. These cover up the orange reflector...
