hehe so many questions, j/k. i'll try to do my best to help you out.

1. tint wise, i would suggest you go to a place that offers lifetime warrenty. this way if it ever gets messed up you can go back again and again. hmmm i don't know what the riced out tint look is but i'm assuming it's pretty dark. i think a 35% tint would be nice. of course there's all those different options on what types of tint you want and that all depends on your taste and the color of your car.

2. i wouldn't know about the car running louder cause within the first month i got my car i put an exhaust on there and it's been louder than stock ever since. i've driven my mom's 2000 TL and it's soooo freaken quiet. i can't even tell the engin's on.

3. as for leaving your "corner lights" on, i'm assuming you're talking about your parking lights. it is illegal to drive with them on. i would suggest you getting some city lights, if you want to have the front on and not have the lights on in the back. it gets annoying for the people behind you cause we think you're an idiot leaving your lights on in the middle of the day.

4. the silencer for the exhaust is made for only specific exhausts. i don't think they're universal. you can purchase a resonator to reduce the sound of your existing exhaust if you want. i'm thinking about doing that cause the cabin noise is really quite annoying for people who don't ride in my car occasionally.

5. why are you asking so many questions? it's so that people like me can work on my "freak" status on this site. hehe

1. any film by 3M...i got 20% refelective all around, 50% smoke on the windshield.

2. add a resonator like a CherryBomb in between the cat' and the muffler. it will just let the exhaust expand a little more before it gets past the muff'.

3. i guess by modifying the wiring you could accomplish that.

4. the silencer will just obstruct exhaust flow. you can make one by cutting a disk of aluminum or steel to match the inside diameter of your muffler then drilling a hole in the middle to let out less exhaust. start with a 3/4" then go bigger to match your tastes. to secure the disk in your muffler, drill through the muffler, position the disk, then set using screws. doing this defeats the purpose of having an aftermarket exhaust.

5. because you have an inquisitive mind?

i don't quite remember, but i'm pretty sure it's illegal to drive with only your parking lights on. it's like on your DMV test man!!!

I don't think so either that it's illegal to drive with your parking light during day time. I don't think people will really notice your parking lights are on during the day time. If you like to have them on, just turn them ON - If you want to have your parking lights on as day-time-running-light, i guess you will have to ask to see if someone knows how to re-wire that for you .

Hey Tre..... I understand the loudness.... I have that problem too.... Have you ever dropped your car yet? well to the point do u ever scrap the bottom of your car?
The noise I have sounds not like a truck but a mini truck sound.. is that what u have? It sounds like it is coming from the HEADER CONNECTING to the Cat back... our whatever the header is connected to down at the bottom... it maybe opend up alittle..
Because I scrap mine couple of times on the drive way when I Had a dope a$$ slam. But I learned real quick and I pushed it back up.... I believe that is what you are talking about....
So go outside turn your car on open your ears and go under the car OR open hood and look deep inside.. u can hear it.... WhoOp there is....!!

but now with the exhaust, when it is started and i listen to the engine, all i hear is the whistling of the intake... sweet sound!

in my option everyone on this board should get an aftermarket cone filter, they make such a huge difference. the air filter does not void your warenty.
