Had some spare time on my hands (pics)...
I had a little free time while being on spring break so I figured, why not work on the vette a little? There were some other things I did too but not really worth taking pictures of... 
Made these for myself and a friend of mine a little while ago
Color matched to the car (and yes, I know the rotors look bad. They are being replaced soon.
)
Waxed/polished the Hurricane to get all the water spots (?)/ light scratches off of it.
Finally, the 5% tint.

Looks cool 
LMB 
But limo tinting on the side windows, isn't that asking for a ticket? (at least here in CA it will). I have mine tinted just to keep the heat out, but it still looks stock. Limo tinting in the back window of course.

The car looks great! I wish I could have found a Le Mans Blue Vette.
The only problem is your are going to get pulled over frequently, I think. The extremely dark tint as well as tinted tail light covers are going to draw unwanted attention.

Believe it or not, a couple years of running with the 5% tint on other cars (knock on wood and certainly not bragging) I have never once gotten pulled over. I have had cops get me in a parking lot or something to look at the car and have never said a word about it. Also, 99% of the time, they are down anyway. I only have the dark tint for privacy/security reasons when it is parked. As for the tail-lights, they are not covers. They are professionally tinted. Black in in-direct sunlight but a dark cherry red when in direct sun light. But thank you all for the compliments. Le Mans Blue is certainly the way to go!

I actually painted them by hand (i.e. by brush, not with a spray can). If I had to give an estimate, it took about 3 hours with drying time for each coat included.~Cory

It certainly is nice. Keeps the car really cool in the summer not to mention how you can stare back at other people staring at your car without them seeing you.
