NICE CAR

but IMO, i dont like 5% tint, it makes the windows just look dirty, its like half tinted, either get like 20% and make it look real or dont get any at all, i jsut dont like light tints like that

and for teh rims, the TL-S rims are nice, im staying with em, but thats cuz i bought a TL-S, why would you buy TL-S rims over RJs, def get RJs IMO

by <5%, I meant the film is darker than 5%. The front is 2 layers of 25% and the back is 1 layer of 25%, and one of 20%, I think

Nice! Get the body kit first, IMO best first "look" mod you can do to the car. Than the drop, than the wheels. A SPEC suspension for light and comfortable drop (1"), A SPEC gunmetal/black chrome wheels with 18's.

Without a doubt the best advice right there

I'm saving my pennies for the A-Spec kit

And welcome! Gorgeous car.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
And what is a good drop kit to get? I wouldnt want it slammed, just a small drop. and maybe some rake. Does anyone have anything similar?

Gahhhh your whole car is so clean- wheels and tires and all. I'm jealous, did you have it detailed professionally?

Nice looking car though. I'd get the A-Spec kit first. Best exterior mod, period.

I didnt want them to take off the tint that came from the dealership. Plus there was tint on the back window and I didnt want the defrost lines to be cut.

And yes, It was professionally detailed.

They put multiple layers on tint on the car!!?!?!?!? weird. That I would think would make for a lot of distortion and imperfections on the windows since tint jobs are never 100% perfect. That would be way to dark for my liking. I personally think that 35% is the most classy looking with 20% being acceptable but on the dark side. 5% is where it starts to get into the ghetto stages.
The car looks very nice though. Nice and clean the way I like it!!
