Alright i will update this threat as my car progresses...

got some tint today!!!


reppin the OZ




it may look a little bubbled because i took these within the hour of getting it done and the water didnt evaporate out yet

tint looks good
do it yourself? or by shop?

got it done at a shop, but for a damn good price.

how much did you pay?

$150

Noice man what % is that??

The shop i called quoted me 160 for a lifetime warranty with 5% rear and i think like 15 or something % front. Looks good though.

i got lifetime warrenty too. its 25 on back and quaters and 35 on doors. didnt want to go too dark because some cops are assholes about tint arround me

Tis ok still looks good. I figure with all the black **** i have tint should be the least of my worries lol.

yeahhh this it the only thing that is constantly illegal on my car... the other things are just the underglows but i can make them legal (i just choose to ride with the dirty )

Looks great. But I paid 140 for a car with more/bigger windows ;)

Keep up the good work dude.

but what kind of tint did they use? i got the top of the line stuff, its called like Llumar i think

tint looks great. where you at in ohio

im in Painesville, its about 45 miles north east of Cleveland

Lose the double Alpine decals (single would be fine) and the door mouldings ('lines' on outside doors). Clear side markers would be good too. Little things that I think would make a decent difference. Keep it up, I really dig those cars and don't see many!

I vote lose the hatch wiper. How often do you use yours? Alot of hatch cars look uber cleaner without them.

Looks great,but really...what vehicle doesn't look great with tint? I think your ride would look so much better if you were to get that road tar off,and debadge it.

i dont want to take the door mouldings off because its a 2002 and im afraid that the paint will be fadded. then if i took it off it would look **** with a bright stripe down the side. Same thing with the de-badging. and ive never debadged a car. and i am looking into getting clear side markers or i was thinking about just blacking the ones i got out.


thanks everyone

With the color of your car, I would say get clear ones, unless you're considering some other dark accents like a lip kit, black wheels, CF hood or something else along those lines.

i want to get gloss black wheels but dont know if that will happen...maybe just get the ones i have now painted

painting the ones you have wouldnt be a bad idea..

A little TLC would probably do them wonders too

they are brushed aluminum (i think) so they arnt chrome but they do have a lot of brake dust and dirt on them

Paint them.

Or just clean them and paint the calipers. Also I seriously doubt you'd have any issue with your paint being faded if you were to remove the badges/mouldings.If anything you might see a slight outline,but really it's nothing that can't be removed/buffed out

i cleaned the wheels today, and ordered new clear side markers.

took this while my bro was driving... camera phone

***notice the side marker

Clean
