The wheels and the grill look great! Once you drop it, the wheels will look even better.

I like the lip spoiler as well

The spoiler is a M5 lip. The grill is just a slight mod. Painted the gray plastic and behind A black. It was that dark gray b4.

Putting the springs and brakes on, on tuesday. Hope I dont get much rubbing...rubs already when going over bumps.....

thanks for the complements

Well in CA anytime you get caught you have to show that the tint was removed before they will sign off on the ticket and let you pay for it. If its the same way in MA then if you do it the non legal way the question would be "How many times do I feel like taking it off and putting it back on again "? It all depends on how you feel about it.

ya true. I was thinking doing the back window darker and then keeping the side windows legal tint...very few cops check the back window cuz its a different tool that does it...so i've been told.

On my Prelude I ran 18% all around. Two tickets later, I was done with the hassle. The CL is legal.

Dark tint looks great, but as long as you get quality tint, the UV protection of the lighter stuff is exactly the same and so are the thermal properties.
