I had pulled over 4 times by State Troopers before this and not one of them said **** about my tint! It was a BS stop none-the-less, but now my car is tint-less. I am going to get a doctors note saying my eyes are sensitive to light and that tint is a necessity. Then I can put 2 1/2% limo tint on and they can't say nothin!

Thanks too for telling me about the crank and turbo, I just thought a supercharger would be better.
Sounds like you're trying to get out of PE in school. In any case, I do not think it works that way, but you can sure as hell try. Yeah Lumpy, I got pulled over in my old Civic because I have 5% all around, and the guy made me peel it off right on the side of the road. I was very pissed, he claimed that he got me for speeding, but since I had already taken the class once that year, that he was doing ME a favor. I was like.......thanks.

The handling is excellent now though, and you can't really see the scratches unless you get under the car, which is also more difficult with the drop, lol.
I have the progress springs on my car, its not really low at all, a lip kit would be fine and you still have lots of clearance. in fact I am getting the front and back lip put on next month

It's really not hard. Very self explainitory when you pull the wheels off. I'd never messed with it before and did it with an impact gun in about 3 hours. The rear is a PITA.

Here are some updated pics of my car without the tint. I'm kinda liking the visibility, but I'm missing the look. What do you think? Should I spend $200 now to get it lowered or $200 now to get tint put back on?
