Default My new car.

Just saying hello for the first time,and I am fairly new here. Got a new AvengerR/Ton September 10th. Love this car so far. Added the R/T emblems on the doors, and the chrome roof trim. I tinted the windows and added the front brow. Have a K&N filter arriving any day. That's about all I plan on doing for a while. Waiting on the after market to pick up.

None, it is the AutoArmor from the dealer. They told me not to wax it for 3 1/2 years, and gave me more product for re-application after the 3 1/2 years.

Are the R/T emblems and chrome roof trim available at the dealer? And if not where??

Also ( and I know nothing about tinting) your windows don't look tinted, is only a certain percentage allowed in your state?

They might be available there, but I got them on E-bay. The roof stuff was about 25 bucks, and the emblems were 15 apiece. The pic was taken while it was extremely sunny and directly on the car, so yeah, they don't look very dark in the pic. It is 20% tint, and looks pretty good most of the time.

Ahh ok thanks for the information. I know this may sound dumb, but all that is easy to install for someone who has never done it before?

That's pretty good if they gave you more to apply. Looks nice.

Super easy. Both are peel and stick. Just make sure the emblems are level, so very lightly put them on and eyeball it from a distance to get it where you want them, and to make sure they look right. Then I just measured and copied for the other side. The top strips are real simple too, just peel the backing at one end, and continue peeling as you apply it, making sure to follow the edge just right.

I tried finding the R/T emblems on ebay and can't find them. Do you remember who the seller was?
