I'll try a bunch of ways.  One thing I have seen lately is a vertical banner down the right (pass.) side of the windshield.  Those look pretty cool but may be a little ricey.  IDK.  Anyway, if LMS did that the name wouldn't fit!    ;D

Just put the tinted rear reflectors back on.  They look great however I would suggest using the darkest tint from Lamin-X.  I used the second from darkest because that's what I had.  It looks black unless there is direct sunlight.  In non-direct sunlight or shade, they are pretty much black .  These shots are in direct sunlight.  It really cleaned up the rear end.  I'm happy with them.

I do like the darkened reflectors...but doesn't the custom license sorta defeat the idea of debadging the rear?  Sorry Dave, no offense meant, but I just can't warm up to your completely naked rear!

The license plate is a thought, but the "12 SHO" is great.  Maybe a black frame and a smoke overlay since it's on the black trim fascia if you changed anything. The front of course is done in this respect with the plugs.

Hmm.  Upgrade the license plate lighting, and darken the frame/overlay.  That COULD work ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Something like this... just a thought.

I do have tinted plate covers.  I took them off but maybe I'll put the one back on.

Okay.  I put the tinted cover back on the plate. 

Here is with flash.

LOL Mark!  I like my shaved rear end!   ;D  I didn't do it to unidentify, I did it to have it nice and clean.  The only emblems I have are the front and rear ovals (which I hope to make black) and the SHO fender ornaments.  Some time in the future, I may black out the spear and the window surrounds.

I love it!... I think it cleaned up the lines, but still let's the plate be seen when there is a reason.  :thumb:  Quick work!  :judge:

I may have to do mine!

I took a few pictures of my LMS banner taped on the other day.  I don't know if I even really want to put it on.  But, if I do, I'm leaning towards the lower back window.  Here are a couple angles.  I might just try it and see how it really looks.  I can always take it off if I don't like it.

The white will compliment the car if you do install.  Nice looking banner too. The one thing I notice is that the banner is straight and the bottom of the rear glass is curved... If that isn't an issue for you it's a great place.

Yeah, the window is curved so the banner will have a slight arch to it.  That's okay.

Does livernois have a nice handwritten chrome on like Hennessy has?
