Ride looks good... The side wall of your wheels are so thin, looks like you're riding on rim> a tad too much but clean ride over all...

here i would do it but just not worth it to me. Backs are dark enough to make the
fronts look dark...

I never got hassled for my tint in Saginaw, just in Midland, and only when it was 2am and they thought I was leaving the bar and drinking or something. I have 20% now and have only been stopped for it once in the 2 years I have had it. I don't even roll my windows down when I see a cop anymore. The last time I got stopped I was pulling out of my driveway up here and he told me its illegal and I told him I know. He told me I will get harassed for it and I told him to look at run my record and he said have a nice day.

If you drive with your windows down a lot in the front I wouldn't worry about. Unless you have a cop in your lanes of traffic I would worry, its to busy down there to have cops whip u-turns and pull ******* moves to come get you.

I would put 20% on your front windows, it won't look two different shades or funny. This is what my 20% tint job on my car looks like, and I have only been stopped once in two years in a area where all the cops are bored.

I want those projectors but I am not sure if it will be worth it or not. I like the looks of them but just not sure if the aiming and light output of them will be worth it or not. I think a set of Eibach springs would lower your car just enough to make it sit right, no wheel well gap and no rubbing.

Thanks for the compliment man, your car looks awesome too. I just need to get some cash flow again so I can finish the motor on mine, and the trans....

Yea im sure you've seen the thread on the projectors. I got HID's but honestly the work you have to put into them and the stock light output just isnt worth it. I love
mine now dont get me wrong. It was just a looong road to get there.

And Eibach springs will really lower the car with no rub?

Please, no projectors. Normal black housings FTW! Killer coupe BTW. I just might now get the hood and just the SC/T lip kit. Looks hot with the normal hood and everything else SC/T!

Yea, I think I am just going to HID the housings I have now, black with the clear corner. I like the led turn signals and the halo's but I don't do that well with fiberglassing and cutting up of things.


Yea, Ebiach's are a 1.4" drop in the front and a 1.6" in the rear. I run a 245/40/18 tire with no rubbing, so compare that to your tire size on the tire size calculator and see if it fits. Mine are about a 1/4 inch from rubbing but haven't rubbed them at all.

Stick with what ya got. I have 6K HIDs with the same headlights you have, and I see fine. IMO, we have the best looking headlight out there for the fifth gen GA.

Wow yours is much cleaner looking than that one. The springs are on pfyc.com and a few other places, just look for Eibach Lowering Springs on the web. They are around $250 for the set. You will love the look of it after those springs.

If you don't get to shaving the locks, order some smooth locks till then, it makes a big difference for how cheap and simple they are.
