the really dark tint is to hide a stereo system most people wouldnt understand or want because it requires special batteries and capaciters to power it
Yeah, we know NOTHING of stereo systems. There are members on here that would make your stereo cry.
You need to chill out, just because someone doesnt like your car doesnt mean you need to come on the forum and start whining and thuggin

plus dumbasses the rims arent spinners they stay in place to give the car the effect its floating
I sell wheels and tires out of the largest warehouse in Texas and you know what we call those? We call them the cheap-ass spinners -- they are nothing more than the cheap crap you can buy with [censored] bearings, which is the reason they don't "spin", and instead "float".

LOL. Explaining things like we don't know what we're talking about does not earn you any points here, bud. I was an installer for 6 years and held 2 Amateur World Records in IASCA, I currently run a full Orion setup -- and not one capacitor because the system is designed properly.

realize I just purchased a house and am more concerned about making it sweet than my car... lets face it! time to grow up!
Just because we spend money on our cars does not mean we haven't grown up. There are plenty of people here who own houses (got one in TX and one in FL myself) -- we'd just prefer to mod tastefully or not mod at all... You should have saved your money and bought something for your house, it would have been better spent that way.

Kinda retarded...you dont want people to see what you have in there in the first place. Could be something could be nothing its better then letting them see how much you got 
I don't personally like the look of the rims and wing on the mystique but I'm not going to talk ish about it or w.e he has his own tastes just like when I did my tails  just something different, you don't see everyday, I respect him enough for that.
BTW Robert I think I'm in love with your rims

Sorry to thread-jack, but when he referred to capacitors, I thought about a question I've had for a while.
I understand basic circuitry, and RLC circuits, but how do audio capacitors work w/audio equipment in our vehicles? I'm really confused as to whether the cap is stored charge of the DC or AC currents from the power supply. Which one is it? All I can think is w/AC it will give a lower resistance and initial current draw to all power accessories, so AC wouldn't be probable? So does it act on DC supply? Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm completely naive about the physics of electricity in audio equipment. Also, these things must be very dangerous to install, correct? I mean a 1 Farad cap would instant kill a person. IIRC, humans can only take up to 1uF. I'm sure there's more resistance, but these things must be very dangerous to work with, correct? If you guys know any good sources to read up on, that'd be appreciated, too.
In regards to the guy's car. IMO, it looks gaudy. As I said earlier, it must be difficult to drive that thing let alone in the night. However, if he likes it, then that's all that matters. Though, like must have opinionated on here, it's not in my tastes.

Cause it was his fathers house and he passed away, not to put his buisness out there but I know its not that easy to pay for both modding the car and taking car of house payments...
