Trust me.. it wasn't "designed by Apple"

Marketing picks what peripherals and IP they want on their device, dimensions, and layout.. The ODM actually designs it.. It's like drawing on a napkin of cool shit you want you device to have, handing it to ODM and they actually implement the "design".

Or so you think he is...

But yeah he makes sense, gotta give a sketch with what you want, and to fit it all, it has to be tweaked.

I had 5% over my factory tint (35 i guess) but the rear was only 5. The cop was like nice cave you have in there but it's illegal. I'm 30 all around now.

I loved it. I could cruise with a drink or a stick of trees and not worry about anyone seeing. At night was difficult to see sometimes.

There's no tweaking. The ODM actually does the full board layout. They structure clocking, power through the board. Apple only draws the fucking thing and marketing picks what they want - processor, peripheral support. Everything inside of the device including passive components, connectors, processor are contracted out to component and logic companies which the ODM pulls together as part of their design. A product may actually be produced by 2 or 3 ODM's with 5 or 6 component sources. Apple has oversight over the process and deadlines. They don't even run validation.. and they ball bust everyone on price yet charge a assload to the consumer.

5% on the rears is fine. Up front is 20 or 25%, the law changed two years ago to allow the fronts to go darker from 30/35 to 20/25.

Y'all see the 2013 accord coupe? I like the rear and tails, but that front doesnt look as aggressive as the O-12' did

To be honest, giving the Accord sedan some Genesis styling cues might do them some good. They probably learned from the pre-MMC 4G TL

The reflectors on the coupes rear bumper look horrible, as do the weird fog lights. They should've used the sedan styling there.

Im actually very impressed with the sedan. The coupe, not so much. I do like the center stack though, they finally divided the HVAC and radio controls.

Honda doesn't impress me anymore. All of their new cars are so bland and boring except for the CR-Z but it's a damn hybrid.

Yeah, sure, lower with springs.

Last time I checked springs don't lower a car more than 1.5".
