I'd advise against the windshield tint. The only part of a windshield i would tint would be the top 3 inches just for the sun block thing.

And thanks for the compliment gotevo?


I just wish i had the car insured/registered so i could drive it from BC to edmonton when i got it

Tint for sure, minus the windshield ofcourse. You'd definitely have to get your tinting place to install moleskin felt though, to avoid any scratches.

I hate tint on performance cars. I grew up with the "clean", SoCal look and I personally believe cars of this caliber should not be tinted at all. I especially feel this strong about white cars because I don't like the drastic contrast between the body and windows.

However, most people would also say that I'm a little too tame in my tastes. I like the OEM look and you could say that this timidness also prevents me from making huge mistakes on my rides.

Can you say no racing stripes, aluminum wings, underglow lights and Jesus Christ shift knobs?

I agree w/you on this part, especially the racing stripes. No, they do not belong on an SRT-4 (I have seen many w/), maybe a classic mustang, but that's about it.

i say tint it since it does flow with the WW color and it does keep it cool. Also, good for at night if someone trys to look in your car and they cant see shizzz! haah.

by the way the girl in the first pic (wife?) looks kinda upset as she looks in the car
