and like i said its not notacable in daylight while driving. It looks darker cuz its in the garage where it spends most its time...

500 for tint....LOLOLOLOL please share what you smoke
$25 tints, man that must be some high quality tint job or maybe you have a friend in the tinting business that gave you a deal. I m sorry, but tintiing the front windshiled is risky and will eventually get you pulled over and forced to remove the tint. IMO it is not worth it. But to each their own.

Besides you can always swap in the aluminum roof panel later if it becomes such an issue. I believe Robi used to have a sunroof in his GSR and set several records with it. Correct me if I am wrong though.
Sorry to put a dent in your theory, but I have been racing cars since 2000. I am licensed with NASA and race with them. I have not driven my EVO on the track yet, but I have driven others. I assure you that I can drive a stock EVO to the limit. Trust me on that.

Agreed. But i must say, IMO, it looks like the Lancer Evolution they advertise on the website with all windows tinted, looks neat. I live in NJ and I dont know about your laws in Arizona, but i bet its pretty risky. Anyways, looks great and i hope you do not get into trouble. Nice Wheels

Wonderful. Your certificate is in the mail.

You also might wanna re-read what I said and notice that I casually mentioned "many of you". Although if you are the speed racer you say you are I don't know why you didn't get an RS.

you are right, many of us(including me) won't even drive the car to its limit that a sunroof makes a difference. however, that is not the point. ssl package is totally a personal perference. if you don't use sunroof and don't like leather, then why spend the extra money($3000)?? performance degradation with ssl is minor decision factor, but never the less it is a valid one.

The point I was trying to make is that if you really want a sunroof but you are worried you might lose a TON OF PERFORMANCE OH GOD NO that you should also consider that the car may be beyond your driving limits anyways and it won't really affect you. I just think that issue shouldnt keep someone who really wants it from getting it.

agreed, if you like sunroof and have $, by all means get it. i would even get a evo with sunroof and leather, if it costs less than one without it
