Default 1/4 panel delete?

I have access to a great body shop with huge discounts.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to completely delete the 1/4 windows.

I am going to black out the trunk lid (no spoiler, no emblem), and remove the side door vents.

Do you guys think the 1/4 window deletes will be overkill?

I eventually plan on a GT front fascia and hood w/out hood scoop..

Looking for a super clean/sleeper look~

With you already having a black car I don't know if the 1/4 window delete will be that noticeable. It could be a little over kill if its not done right.
The rear deck lid sounds like a good idea though.

If done right it looks amazing!!

You could always get these http://www.trucarbon.net/Trucarbon_M...10024-lg43.htm

they sit pretty flush on the window and are probably a lot cheaper than completely getting rid of them.

I also thought about just having them blacked out with tint, rather than do anything else to them

I really like that carbon fiber trunk lid.. no holes! I can get it painted and it'll also shave weight! The spring on the trunk lid might be too strong for it though.. it goes flying off when I hit the trunk release rofl

lol carbon fiber is so light.. I wonder how it manages to stay together through harsh weathers.. It get so cold up here, it might even crack ..
