By drop an inch you mean lowering springs?

I say debadge except for the nissan burger on the back, and use VHT nightshades to tint the tails. :-)

How's the application for VHT Nightshades? Is it just spray on?

just spray on, as always preparation is critical, clean with alcohol to get all the dirt and grease off the lights and apply light even coats to achieve desired tint. I cleared and buffed mine afterwards.

My procedure was about the same, cleaned with soapy H2O, wet-sanded with 1500 grit, then spray to desired darkness (I did 4 coats I believe), and then for a matte finish like mine don't use clear, but for a shiny-er finish use 2-3 coats of clear.


*also, just debadge to your liking, I thought it looked a little plain without any badges since my car is a lighter color like yours, but do what YOU think looks good........here is a quick PS of mine w/o any badging......

yeah pretty much, just use some floss. If it's cold out or you are having trouble, try to heat the emblem with a hairdryer a little bit and then try the floss method.
