Thanks for the tips, I was looking into tint, though couldn't decide what I wanted. Some cities around me are quite picky about tint, I was thinking 5% in the rear and for the driver and pass 20% (In ohio anything under 50 is illegal) I don't wanna go 5 all around just because of the fast that its very, very easy to spot, and I would most likley get pulled over in a heartbeat.

splitting the tint shades is MUCH, MUCH easier to "spot". Whatever you go with.. get matching levels.. if you are gonna go with the 5%, have the balls to do it all around. if not, then go with your 35-50% all around... DON'T MIX-N-MATCH..  uch:  Ray

Does your car have a premium sound system? if so, consider bypassing the factory amplifier.
also, if you're looking for places to start modding, get an open air intake and replace the resonator with a magnaflow straight-through.

20% all around is awesome... factor in the factory tint and you end up with 14% or so..

good to hear that, thanks for the advice, I've got a couple pics up on my car domain site, more to come though. I went and bought a 9005 pair of silverstars today. And I plan on wetsanding my lights soon.
