im workin on it, i would really like to get the whole car painted though, the rear 1/4 is already a different color - nothincame2mind wrote:
- Ya, it definitely looks better with the tint on. Was it not legal?
it was illegal, in my current sig pic i had 20% all around. i got too many tickets with that so i took the front tint off and left the rest. they left me alone for a while so i put 35% on the front, a layer of 35% over the 20% still on the back, and 2 layers of the 35% over the 20% on the rear 1/4 windows. that was fine for a while and then i started getting hassled hardcore again. i finally said screw it and took the ticket to court along with the front license plate issue. long story short the judge said i was very well prepared and proved my points, but he cant change the law. so basically, take the tint off and put the front plate on, or have $785 worth of fines. if im caught with illegal tint or no front plate in the next year, even if its not my car, i get automatic 60 days in jail. so i took everything off but what they cant test (rear 1/4s and rear windshield). MN tint laws suck, but hopefully i can get some 50% and with the back windows still blacked out it might look a bit darker. | |

| So far so good, im leaving the winter tires on until i see how much more it drops. Its noticeably stiffer from just getting into the car, to the way in handles bumps and corners, it a completely different car handling-wise. I have an stb in the mail from an sts and hopefully a front addco bar soon, that should stiffen the front enough to make it feel really nice. Im waiting to see how long these sensa-tracs are going to last lowered, lol. | |

Trust me rick, i waited forevever to get a set of these and it was well worth the wait. The only thing i regret is not getting the front addco bar first but that will just have to be one of the next things on my list. | |

| A 19 y/o is supposed to drive a car with a column shifter & bench seat, which he has. Also a 4 door sedan is almost guaranteed to have substantially lower insurance than a 2 door. Considering how insane rates are for a 19 y/o guy, I'd say a PA is a great choice.
I like what you've done with the black dash. Did you black out the grille ? Also, a big boouuuu-urns on the pack of smokes. | |

| Im probably going to end up having to do it myself cause i have nowhere near the money that a professional would cost. I am getting sick of looking at it though. Its definitely something im going to have to tackle this summer. | |

| That does look pretty good, thanks BMD. I wonder how much of a price difference there would be between that and painting the whole car black? | |
