2016 White ILX minor changes so far
Hi,
I picked up a 2016 ILX tech package about 2 moths ago and you know we cant leave stuff stock.
2nd day of ownership off to the tint shop.
next was the hard process of picking a wheel set. I didn't want a wheel that everyone has nor did I want some curb scratched rims that would just bug me every time I looked at them. So after narrowing my choices down I decided to pick up some Sparco Drift wheels in Bronze. And today they arrived.
Yes I know there is a gap between the tire and fender and that will be resolved at a later time.
The next install will be the Aero kit for the front bumper (if it I don't like just the front then I will get the rest of the kit)

Wow that looks really good. In California, we are not allowed to tint the front doors or windshield.
I have my car at the shop as we speak. I'm going with 20% rear and 50% front and windshield. I'd like to have a little tint and not raise to much attention to police.

So far I have passed many police and they have not made any issues with my 30% tint in the front windows. Not trying to be racist, but I think race has a bit to do with who they bug with front window tints and who they don't. I have a feeling they are more likely to ticket someone who looks "dangerous" than an average Joe.

I kept the stock 17 inch size because I did not want to have to purchase tires, also I do plan to lower it in the future so I wanted to keep some sidewall thickness for a softer ride.

I only had the front sides tinted. Youre far more likely to get a ticket with that windshield tint. Good luck.

I'm in Nor Cal. Cops tend to be a lot more laid back about tint up here for some reason.
Either way, it's still illegal and we can get stopped/ticketed at any time.
I'm surprised you've been popped twice. I'd imagine with all the cars tinted down there, they'd be a bit more lenient on stuff like that.

I just purchased just the front aero peice to see how i like it if it looks weird to me then ill get the other pieces. Also i lucked out snd the guy at the parts counter hooked it up with 20% off the parts when i ordered the trunk liner, front aero kit and sun shade.
I know a really good body guy so I'm going to let him install the aero kit.
