People puts 2 tints since in some states or province the law ask for a maximum tint in the front. All that to be able to see the driver.

Here, if you own a CIVIC and you get pull over they will get on your ass and ask to go change your tint...but if you got a bad ass TL they wont pull you over or even look at you...only lookin at the good lookin car

on a non-turbo car like the TL-S I think the intakes/exhausts add more sound/noise than true power. i'm sure it may add something - but it's not adding 25hp or anything like that. you might get a few hp at the upper rpms.

your money is better spent on suspension. i think that will actually give you some noticeable improvement in performance. or better tires.
but i'm sure it sounds kind of cool.
