35% tint on the windows installed yesterday. This is step one in starting to get the look I want. I tried to plasti-dip the side mirrors and the temperature outside just destroyed that. From a distance it looked great and I now know that I definitely want to redo the mirrors in black. Next will be to debadge the car. Sorry guys, but driving around with suzuki on my car isn't the biggest pride booster even though I love the car.

Nice tints. I have 40% ceramics that are similar.

I'd personally never ever debadge a car. I think it makes it look cheap like some knock-off Chinese car. It also looks like it was just re-painted and the owner/shop got too lazy to put the badges back on.
It's all personal taste, but my Kizashi will always display its make and model.

I personally don't care a whit about outer appearance, as I cannot see it whilst driving.

What's more shameful? Driving a Suzuki or hiding the fact that you're driving a Suzuki :P

I hate debadged cars.

That being said, I did take off the word Suzuki because I saw the pics of what I think was the hybrid concept and it only had the S and Kizashi on the back. I thought it looked cool. And the S and the word seemed redundant to me.

I was never ashamed of my Hayabusa, and I'm not ashamed of this car. I'm fotunate as I can drive pretty much whatever I want under 6 figures. I drive this car by choice. You should too. Don't remove all the badges. Be proud to have a unique car!

I kind of understand that due to the different font used for "Suzuki" and "Kizashi"

Thanks for finding that. Yeah, the font was another issue. The S says Suzuki and once is enough.
