My dad (is a police officer) and just got a 2008 Impala from his department. As of today we just got black/silver rims and limo tint. He has had a Grand Marquis for the past couple years, and I know nothing about Chevy's unfortunately. When I get back home to check it out I plan on debadging and plasti'diping a few parts.

Can you guys give me some insight on what else can be done to these vehicles. All I've seen on eBay is the "chrome" grilles, door handles, etc. and 24" wheels on YouTube lol.

This is going to be his police take home vehicle and is equipped with police lighting.

Specifically have you guys experimented with the chrome trim on the trunk, I personally don't like it although I guess it flows with the taillights. (which I want to smoke out)

Also can I remove the chevy bow tie on the trunk lid, or will there be holes exposed, etc.?

Oh, that's great news on the rear bow tie. I will just remove it then.

I am not a fan of the aftermarket headlights, how bad is the glare with an HID kit in the OEM lights? Assuming I lower the aim of them a bit.

Any maintenance or mechanical issues I should be aware of. This one has about 85k miles.

I think I plan on plasti-dipping the front bowtie, the chrome around the grilles, and maybe the foglight housings if they aren't 'black' enough for the look I'm going for.

Also remove all rear badges and the impala side emblems.
