Agree with the tinting. Tinting is the best mod I have done to my car.

Tint using quality metallic film such as Llumar or Madico will cost you about $200.

One you tint a car, you will never own another car without tinting.


I have Comptech Springs, sways, headers, icebox, Unichip, 35% Llumar tints, and the Mugen cooling mods.

there's a guy on rte46, jersey that does it for 200.

you cant get anything under 35% for the froont two side windows and you could get all rear windows for 20%. the windshield cannot be tinted.

its definitly worth it.. i was going to say an intake, but you already have one, so i guess the headers.

hmm, where can you find megan headers?

Well, I guess it depends on the quality of the work and the quality of the tint. I had 20% put on all my windows except the windshield for $200 cash. For $250, they would use a higher end tint. I have no complaints so far, it's been 2 years and still look great. The same shop did my friends Integra in the mid 90s and his tints still look new (no fade). The shop I went to does a lot of Benz' for a well known dealer around by me.

Llumar is one of the best tints on the market. I would highly recommend it if you can find a shop that uses it. Madico is another good tint but not quite as good as the Llumar. I have one car with Llumar tint and another with Madico.

since you have a type s, you could get to Magnaflow mufflers for 75 bucs each and have an axelback setup fabbed up for them for under 250. Or you can do an intake.
