Its been a busy couple of weeks for my LC.
-First off i had the windshield replaced at the dealership (for fear of having some other glass shop screw it up). They replaced the windshield with Pilkington glass (my insurance wouldn't cover the $1000 for an OEM replacement). All windshield trim was replaced, including both drip moldings.

-Next i had the windows tinted. 5% 6" sun strip on windshield. 5% on all rear windows. 50% on both front windows. I love the way the tint turned out! it looks great. I would have loved to black out the fronts but getting a perfect match is damn near impossible and im to picky for "a close match."

-After that she went to the body shop to get the side trim moldings all taken off and repainted to match the stock Atlantis Blue body paint. Before it went in the trim moldings were all peeling and flaking away. After the new paint it looks brand new! I couldn't be happier with how good it came out.

-Next she will have another little tune-up. (i had a major tune up about 5k miles ago) She will have the muffler and tailpipe and all related gaskets and clamps replaced with all OEM parts. My original muffler and tailpipe are both just about rusted through. Then just an oil change and power steering fluid change.

-Then ive purchased some 3M undercoating to spray the rear wheel wells. right now they're all discolored and would look 1000x better with a fresh layer of black undercoating!!

how much did they charge you for the molding paint if you don't mind?
 
i spent a little more than i wanted to on the trim repainting. it was good amount of labor to sand those bad boys down. total cost of all 10 side moldings repainted was $1299.00. was it worth it? for me, hell yes.
