Some places cover your brake light and some dont. I would ask them to since the tint is so light and you have the spoiler with the brake light. Your defroster shouldnt mess your tinting up and it should take about 2 hours for them to tint it. Then you have to wait 2-3 days before you can open your windows.

I have the all season mats and they are very good at keeping the crud contained. The fit is what made me buy them. They fit perfectly. Only mats for the front are offered.

The "mudflaps" are more for decoration than anything else. They help somewhat but don't expect too much.

Get the all season mats. They fit great.
When you negotiate to a final price, and it is obvious that it ain't going lower, ask for the mats, the trunk tray and the wheel locks for free to close the deal.
I did, they can basiclly give that stuff away.
Try the shift nob as well if you are so inclined. They gave that to me for $20 bucks, and offered me the spoiler for $250.

Remember there is more pressure on them to close, if you can contain your zeal for the car.
I don't have window tint, and have not found that the car needs it in the summer here in Chicago. Get it only if you want the look.

I have never seen a car with the wheel well trim. I have had no problems without it.

Good luck.

Fenderwall Trim - I bought that from AHMOTOR.COM and found that it's probably more a cosmetic option. It looks great on a black car. The installation was easy (instructions included) and took about an hour to do. The only situation I could think of as protection is if you park unevenly next to a car and he/she opens the door and bang on the wheelwell, that can save you.

What everybody else said is true.
About the fenderwell trim I remember removing and reinserting only 4 screws per wheel. Also lightly tapping with a rubber mallet to get the trim seated properly and your done. I don't think there is much of a practical reason for this. Only cosmetic.



and the right rear:
