[iraqivet]

Needs tint!

no tint

 

[$ub$onic]

Why no tint

 

[iraqivet]

Why no tint

i no like tint. i cant see **** at night and with tint its worse and having to roll my window down to make a turn at night is no fun

that also add weight and more weight is less mpgs

 

[$ub$onic]

Fair enough

Can't say that I haven't rolled down a window on a dark street to make sure everything was clear while turning....... Still love my 15% though.

And that 16 oz loss in weight due to no tint is probably a huge increase in mileage.

No tint = less potential harassment from cops.

yes thats what i thought when when i first got home from iraq and i put veterans plates on my sti.

got stopped two days latter doing 70mph in full dress uniform coming back from a award ceremony with a back seat full of awards including a bronse star and the cop told me to go **** my self and gave me a ticket for doing a 110mph in a 65 zone. because someone called in and said a silver sports car was speeding.


so yea that dont work..

I know they make "tint" that only blocks UV rays without actually making the windows any darker. I was thinking about doing that once I'm done with performance.
BTW, the car looks stupidly good. Seriously, that's f**king class. The perfect color, fantastic wheel choice, subtle approach to everything but suspension...bravo, Sir.
I got my Eibach springs on yesterday, rear bump stops and all. Not nearly the kind of drop you're running, but it's perfect for my daily driving needs. The install took me and my brother 10 hours, including multiple trips to various hardware stores. I hope I never see another set of spring compressors in my life.

 

[$ub$onic]

10 hours !?!? Holy balls man. Spring compressors are good things. My brother in law wishes he used one before getting nailed in the nuts by the top of the strut

 

[rdss]

10 hours with help is impressive, it took me 3 1/2 by myself and including two trips to Midas to have them install the top hats. What caused it to take so long?!

Well, it was my first time working on suspension, ever. I think I also had some relatively sh*tty spring compressors. I'd say about two and a half hours alone were spent on the front top hats. We ended up using a strap wrench around the socket extension, and had to go to four different hardware stores to find a T-50 screwdriver-style torx wrench.
With better tools and pneumatic jacks it would have taken half the time.
