in reverse order...

5- uhhh I've never seen a car's windows that bad and I live in Wisconsin... lol. spots inside or outside? outside - simple green, or goo gone. no idea how those water spots look like.

4- Intake paint, sure why not; go black, make it nice and sleek to match ur black rims.

3- well you live in GA, your call on ripping it out, personally I'd just sound deaden it if you're ripping it all out. I hear road noise from my tires than my wind noise now that I deadened under floormats and rear areas. lol

2- Paint calipers - I'd pick an OEM looking color, metallic silver to match your car color; red, yellow, black, and that just doesn't look OEM as much anymore unless u want ppl checkin out ur wheels area instead of your car. lol

1- Not into shading taillights and such, I like to be as visible as possible during the day and night!! If it isn't shaded from factory, just leave it is how I see it. i see white G6's and other cars tinted / shaded taillights and I'm just thinkin to myself "I don't know if you're braking or not, i'll just run into you and blame you for the tinted tails that don't tell me if you're braking or its regular lighting" lol ;)

Thanks for the response, I'm attaching some examples of the water spots, the windows are very dusty from living by a dirt road, but you can still see the spots on the glass. And as far as the calipers go, the only I was thinking either Silver or Black, It would be awesome to find the color of my car in a high temp paint, but I doubt they make Azure Pearl in that. And I agree with you with the fender liner, I think I make pick up some rubberized undercoating and just paint in there, I can always still put the piece back in if I get another one. And as far as the taillights go, I agree, I don't like tinted taillights, but I have to do something, as you can tell by the picture, the black outer border looks faded. And if you haven't ever seen the TYC's in person, the LED's are almost as bright as headlights.

WOW, ok so that's what you mean, definitely give Simple Green cleaner a try or Goo Gone. My windshield has an area where the wipers wipe and it looks like a layer of oil when i wipe the water / cleaning solution off....but it's been there since I've bought the car and after MANY washes / detailings. Maybe I use rain-x too often lol, who knows; my rain-x coatings usually last a few months (except in winters here).

I did some Photoshopping to see what the options were. So should I fix the black border on the taillights (1st Picture) or shade them, which would probably hide the parts where the paint is coming off the border (2nd Picture) and if I do tint the taillights, should I paint the Logo's too? (3rd Picture). Tell me what you think.
