What percent?

Honestly I don't remember...I just took it to the shop and told them to match it as closely as possible.

[Bowtieman21]

What percent?

when i got my tint done, they said the factory is about 15%

North Carolina law only allows 35% on driver/passenger windows which is just barely tinted. I think I will pass on the tint but I would love to have the front windows tinted to match the rear.

Yeah in DE you can't tint the front windows without a tint waiver, so i got one and got the windows tinted. actually had them all done to match at 5% its dark, but nice!

Don where did you get your seat covers? How did you put fog lights on your 1lt without changing the turn signal lever and where did you get that kit?

[Don 1948]

Got the Seat covers at Walmart, Still working on how to connect Fog Lights, I probably will be going with an aftermarket switch for turning Fogs on & off.

I have a 2012 Cardinal Red 1LT Equinox with Black / Light Titanium Gray cloth interior.  The first thing I upgraded was:
1. Tint driver and passenger window and a strip across the front Window.
2. Wind vents
3. Mud flaps

Next I had a roof installed and replaced the cloth seats with leather two/tone seats.

Since then I have:
1. Front License plate bracket
2. Chrome mirror covers
3. Chrome Door handle covers
4. Chrome pillars
5. Weather Tek floor mats
6. Cargo Weather Tek mat
7. Roof rack cross rails
8. Chrome Roof rail inserts
9. Trunk Cargo Net

Looking into getting interior wood trim and a chrome Grill. Haven't decided which type of grill I want yet.

Lovin' my NOX.

First mod will be Fog Lights, got the parts the day after we picked up the car.
Second will be both front windows tinted, DW is checking on prices as I type this. 
I am sure more will follow.

[river and sand]

Fog lights - installed - not hooked up yet, waiting on H11 repair harness from net.
Courtesy Lights - installed -  looks good.
Front tinted windows - install is on Tuesday.
More to come I am sure.

when i got my tint done, they said the factory is about 15%

Factory tint is about 22% according to numbers on rear window. I had 20% tint added to driver and passenger side.
Also did courtesy lamps with blue LEDs.
Got driver convenience package as an upgrade from standard 1LT, so that was my first upgrade besides the V6  . Included mud flaps, all weather rubber floor mats, remote stater, 8 way power driver seat.
Also 18" chrome clad wheels as a free upgrade.

Waiting on Fogs/Chrome Fog Inserts/ wire harness.

Anyone know what it would take to put LTZ headlights in a 1LT?

The headlights are just a simple swap.

I will send u some info pm, the other member on here i am helping do a write up on this to share with everyone. He is just waiting on me regarding some pics edited.

[Bowtieman21]

very nice, will be awaiting the write up, i know this is probably a stupid $$$$ amount because the dealerships will rob you for the headlight pieces. anyone found a cheaper place to get them online?

I have a 2LT and am looking to do the swap as well.

Have you looked at RockAuto's website?

I went with vent visors first, then proceeded with full audio upgrades. Always a work in progress, but will start posting up a log of my changes soon.

[Bowtieman21]

I have now, looks like a great place for info and good pricing as well.

[rlhmarines]

1. Rear Bumper Facia protector
2. Clear Bra on the entire front end, hood, fenders, and mirrors
3. Tinted front glass to match the rears

Next.
1. Complete the entire vehicle (except the rear roof rack area) Clear Bra after the holiday (Black paint protection)
2. Sheep skin seat cover to protect the side bolsters and lumbar support on the leather
3. Catch-all type carpeted floor mats
4. Find trailer hitch that fits behind the cover trim plate on the bumper when not in use
5. Change interior trim around speedometer and others to chrome to match the chrome trim around cup holders and gear selector in center console.

I'm sure we'll find other things to spend money on.

Update
Fog lights - installed - still not hooked up, have all the parts just need need time to complete.
Front windows tinted - 15%  just a little lighter the back windows, still can see in.
Shark Fin antenna - installed - cleans up the roof line,  all reception for radio, OnStar and XM works great, looks much better too. 
Thinking about removing the luggage rack completely, still on the fence on this. Not sure if GM makes a complete channel cover either.
