If you pulled up to the line with a basically stock exterior but a totally awesome engine, no one would expect you to fly right by them

I just got my windows tinted today. For the front windows, driver and passenger, the tinting % is 70% which means it lets 70% light through, so its basically clear. The only reason you'd want that is because it blocks the UV rays that give us cancer :P. I got mine done for $215.50 after tax with a lifetime labor warranty and lifetime warranty on the film. I went with 5% which is the same as limo tint. If you're looking for all the windows then you'll looking at about 300 bucks.

In regards to first mod, I went with rims first but I think that if you're tight on money you should go for the tint .

a good first mod would be a decent stereo. nothing too pricey but something better than stock. my first mod was an alpine deck with 6 1/2" rockfords. didn't even need subs and it sounds terrific. the reason i got a stereo was that stock stereo sucks and it's not nearly as hit-or-miss with getting a good sound as opposed to adding a muffler and hoping it's the sound you want or adding that spoiler and hoping it goes well with your car. just a better all-around mod. but window tinting follows a close second.

if a deck interests you www.crutchfield.com has many options to chose from, plus it comes with a booklet specifically for installing a certain part into your specific car. a+ for them, discounts on a system are nice as well.

Wow first mod well you'll beat me the only mod I have on my evo would be a air freshner lol. All stock baby!. In my opnion I would go for the sleeper look and go a little show with maybe a new grill, eyelids because its not to pricey and more performance parts later. That was my friends first mod on his Oz as well.
