Im going to get it done by Matrix Tinting in Delmar this summer. I have heard a lot of good things about them. They quoted me $205 for 5% in the rear and 20% in the front. Good deal. Look them up!

Im going to leave the windows stock for the time being. I'm going to be getting my Stimulus Check soon, and I'll be using it to lower my car and change most of my lights to LED.

I need the trunk carpet. I sorta had a bottle of oil in the trunk and the cap came off and 3 quarts of oil saturated my trunk. I'm not even gonna bother trying to clean it. If someone wants it, I'll sell it. Thanks again!

I'm going to be reupholstering the entire interior! I want to put black suede on the doors where my elbow sits, and I may put some on the dash. I'll keep ya posted!

I'm also going to be doing a custom trunk setup with my subs since I'm tired of the box and want a more permanent looking setup. Leave your comments!

ok, im here to give you some ides for your car! if u get the ralliart lip kit, u should color match it and not paint it black. secondly, don't get the eyelids, i think they make the car look like crap. as for the badges, they aren't necessary, esp the darwin one... im surprised getting a ticket for window tint means the back windows too. I heard cali laws are gay, but so far after about 6 months, im good with 20% on all windows, was even considering getting my front tinted at 70% u should def. lower it, i think those es tail lights look good already, but u cant go wrong with the depo tails IMO. then u should def. lower it even if it means u won't lower that much.... and once u do that, u should look ahead but i think that will make ur car look quite sexy.

now i have some questions for you! i have the same projector headlights with 5000k HID installed with them, but my cut off is freakin terrible. do u have the same problem too? im starting to wonder if there is a way to fix it by "aiming the projectors" if thats even possible with these cheap ebay headlights...

and secondly, where did u get those led bulbs? i want to get red ones for my car, i painted my bulbs red, but i think u can kind of tell that they started to fade, so obviously painting it is a cheap route. well i hope u find my advice useful! oh and yeah, hold off on any wing for now!
