Diggin' the ride, man - I have a black '09 LT myself. Can't wait to see how the tail light tint works out. I got some for mine but haven't had time to get it on yet.

Personally, the first thing I did when I got the car off of the dealer lot was de-badge the mother. But that's just me.

I might do it.
Is the badges a sticker or will it leave a hole?

They're just held on by some glue/adhesive. Use fishing line, wrap it around your two index fingers, and slide it underneath the letters in a sawing motion. You may need to clean up the gunk a little bit, but it's all body color under there.

I'm almost positive that the Chevrolet symbols will leave holes, but I've never gotten that far. But I know the Aveo5 and LT symbols will come off without a problem.

The bowites leave 2 little holes behind them. Headlights came out good. BTW, I've used that tint on the taillights of my Aveo5, it's junk. Not only is it a pain in the ass to put on, it looks like shit. Turns out kinda brownish. Use VHT Niteshades paint, it looks awesome. If you need some pointers on how to use it, let me know. Here's a crappy pic of a car I smoked last week, all the lights are clearly visible on this btw too:
