The TPMS went very well.  I'm at the tint joint now.  Headlights are perfect.  Starting on banner.

Thanks guys!  Here are a couple of preliminary pics.  Car is filthy!  I can wash it tomorrow afternoon and get some good pics.  Had fantastic experiences at both shops today.  More on them later too.  Since I barely slept last night I'll be taking a nice long nap now, absent of all the anxiety!

Yeah Mark.  I did notice that it appeared a touch darker than yours. It is the Lamin-X "Tint" (light) designation.  It is much lighter than the gun smoke (medium) I had on there before.   Probably about half as dark.  But, also, it is very overcast here today.

Okay guys!  Time to toot the horns of two of my favorite shops.  Up first is Advanced Auto Clinic in Delavan, WI.  They are the guys who did my wheel mounts.  They also discovered why my TPMS notice kept coming up and driving me crazy.  One of the sensors was registering 29 psi when in fact there was 40 psi.  (Two dealers failed to diagnose.)  They also took great care of my new wheels.  Today, they put the new sensor in and I think I'm good.   Great bunch of guys there!

Next up is Fire Guys Tint.  Joe is the man over there!  I can't compliment his work enough and guess what?  He drives an XSport!  He did a fantastic job on my headlight tint using a steamer.  They really came out perfect.  He may be showing up here pretty soon.  If anyone needs tinting, wrapping, etc.  and lives within a couple of hours of Antioch, IL I recommend you use him.  I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him while he worked.  A real car guy!

Very coordinated now, Dave.  The emblem came out nicely.

Thanks guys!  I'm very happy. 

Well, it looks that way because of the overcast.  We didn't do the Blue Oval emblems.  Too much curve around the edge. 

I don't know what % the headlight tint is.  It is only designated as "Tint" (light) on Lamin-X website.  But my best guess would be close to 50%.  Pretty close to what my windows are.
