looks good. a nice drop will set it off. and is that 5% tint all around? i got a warning from a cop the other day ( nice of him instead of pulling me over ) for my 20% tints for the front windows. it was at night, so i didn't expect a cop to stress me about it.

It's 5% on the back and 20% on the front. Cops have pulled me over (about 3 times so far) and said nothing about it. I hope my luck doesn't run out

As long as you put the window down right away when you get pulled over the cops usually leave you alone. It's when you leave the windows up with dark tint that they get pissed because they can't see what you're doing in the car. Just from my experience.

It's on my list of things to do, but when I drop it, I want to slap a ronjon lip kit on it right away, so I'm focusing on the cheaper upgrades first.

$650 and the tires have 3000 miles on them.

The guy had it on a WRX that he sold a couple months ago. The fitment on these rims is PERFECT.

well you can't roll down your rear windows if you get pulled over and you got 5% tint so better hope cop doesn't notice that.

California doesn't have a limit as to how dark your rear and side windows can be.

I know the direction of the thread is going another direction, oh well...

I have limo tint on my windows...10% sides, 5% rear. The limit in Washington state is 35% for sides and rear .

I have a question for you guys that are encouraging me to slam it, what kind of suspension should I go with? I'm looking at the Tein basic with a 1.5'' drop.

tein basics are good. for some more flexibility in ride comfort, go with the tein ss-p with the edfc. well worth it.

Naw, just ran out and bought shinyblue's slightly tinted '03 lights instead


I highly recommend the tein basics; very comfortable (in comparison to my current ksports lol) ride, problem is if you slam it too far, you might bottom out on crazier dips.



question: what's the size specs on those wheels? brand? they look great once again.

Speedy Racing Wheels / Rims - Lite 6 Black 18x7.5" +45

Who did the install on your tein basics? Since we live in the same general area, I would love to get it from the same shop..

Disregard the question if you did it yourself.

I'm in the same boat you are.. I'm mechanically challenged.

Would your friend be willing to install it on mine? (of course there would be money involved)
