Thanks LGARCIA, checking out the app - starts in 2013, but I'm guessing there isn't a whole lot different from my 2010

very handy

By looks of things we both have Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Panamera 4S.
I like the tinted tail lamps, came out perfect not too dark! I’m looking forward to seeing the lettering finished.
My Panny is Jet Black so if I go this route I’d go dark grey on the letters.

LOL, I really like the GC, fun to drive for an SUV.
Dark grey letters would look sweet!.

the tint was theVViViD air-tint Smoke Black Gloss vinyl, $10 on Amazon, It really helps to have someone work with you when putting it on, hard to hit ti with heat and stretch it at the same time...

Good to know, I’ll let you know when I try doing the tint. I have a heat gun and I will recruit some help! (12 year old son). Great price for this mod too.

The GC comes in really handy here when it floods here after a few days of rain, and I agree it is a fun SUV.

Had my 9 year old daughter doing heat gun duty :-)

Primary reason we went with the Jeep was ground clearance and 4 wheel drive, snow can get rather deep here, especially since I live out of town and it can take the county a few days to get around to plowing it.
Turns out it also makes a great tow vehicle for our travel trailer..... (half tempted to get a hidden hitch for the Pan, just to see the looks on peoples faces when I go by towing a trailer LOL)

Car looks great! I just picked up a 2013.

Regarding tinting the tail lights...Suncoast Parts sells a tint specifically for the Panamera taillights and no heat gun in need because it's already shaped to for the lights.

Comes in a handful of tint level options.

Here's the direct link:https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/P214.html

Yeah I originally was looking at something similar, however $10 vs $50 made my decision for me :-)

That should look good too. Have you contemplated going Matte black for both Porsche and Panamera, while making the 4S in red? IMO looks great too (maybe can find a dark red). Just a suggestion.

Actually that was my first thought, but my daughter (who has much better taste than me) suggested we go red Panamera

been hot here, thinking the black has got a good set in it now, will try doing the Panamera tonight - weather permitting.

What are you using/what process are you doing to paint the letters red?
