Questions And Questions
Just bought a 05 MR, Dos Problemos.
1. tint is dark as **** and if the car doesnt attract the cops enough. Any methods that you guys know of to lighten up the windows or do i have to get rid of it and redo it?
2. No CAT and No Rear o2, we can all know how that works. Question is for the people that daily drive like this what are the precautions and is it worth going the "wrong" way.

1. No, it's impossible to lighten tint. Gotta get it removed.
2. You'll have to get ecu flash and a tactrix cable and disable the rear o2 or simulate it or something I think. Option 2, you could just buy another o2, plug it in, and ignore/disable the check engine light and be done with it...
I hope by saying you don't have a rear o2 that you mean it's been properly removed and the hole has been plugged some how. A hole half way down your exhaust isnt gonna sound/perform so great.

You'll have to take the tint off and put some new stuff on if you want it lighter.
I don't know what emissions is like out in "philly" but I've never had an issue with running catless.

any tint shop can remove and put new (lighter) tint on your windows...
unless you have a hookup, you're likely not gonna pass PA inspection without a cat, and you'll definitely fail emissions if you have a light on... if you can afford it, a HFC and re-tune is probably a better idea. regardless you probably want to disable the rear O2. if you stick with the test pipe, i've heard of people taking the heat shield from a cat and putting it on the TP to pass a visual inspection.
