i think its legal for trucks/suv/vans to have as dark as tint as they want for the rear/back windows just not the front driver side and pass. and as for cars it has to be no more than 35% all around and NO tint for front windshield.

That doesnt sound right at all IMO.

When i got nailed for tint nothing was said about my rear window.

Here is a pic from dead on rear, in the sun, no side window tint.



Also keep in mind those cars that have those full window covers (flags/camo/etc etc) that is done in a dot matrix. Those are not see through from the outside.

Damn, that is dark as fawk. I wish mine looked like that. But I'll still take not getting pulled over anyday. Hate coppers.. Most just waste their time on stupid shit and don't do their damn job. Just let us have dark windows damn it!!

And I agree, the flag/logo dot stuff is ridiculous but I've never heard of anyone getting pulled over for it even tho it's worse than a tint IMO.

I bet you're missing driving around in a car that nice Kyle.

i believe rear window is okay to be dark. if i remember correctly, tints are regulated so cops can see at least the driver

Nah its real. I was using some fake leaves for a photoshoot in the garage and he thought it was fun to jump around trying to catch them. In that picture he had just happened to stick his tongue out at one.

Ha. Im thinking some Bushwacker fender flares and then maybe fab up a stiff "mud flap" that is some what small. Much like the ones that are on STI's and EVO's

I didn't think it was..base tails, red rear sidemarkers, normal A-Spec front lip. But it did really look like a Type-S with the ATLP quads, rear lip and blacked out headlights.

Nudy flaps FTMFW!!

i might be parting out pretty soon too. new/used infiniti deals are pretty sweet these days
and if i don't get out of tl in a month or two, it'll stay with me until it falls apart.

future plan for tl if it survives
- racingbrake 2piece front rotor
- racingbrake 300 pads
- base tails
- base bumper with base lip or typeS bumper with base lip
- 04/05/06 17" oem wheels for winter
- rpf1 19x8.5 in sbc finish for summer
- magnaflow mufflers (no quad. dual with some good looking tips that'll fill in typeS rear lip. too much quad setup these days)

So has anyone in the Clackamas County area had their car worked on at Pro-Tek? Just trying to find a good shop outside of the dealers.

Here's their site:

Good plans, stick with them.
If you drop the Type-S, I will hate you. That is my realistic dream car and will be the only car to replace mine now.

i really want g37x coupe but they are way too pricey. $45k new and with $3k incentive, it comes down to $41k. so probably i'll go with used fx35 and found one that i really like

'06 with 29,288 miles fully loaded with sport/prem/navi package
these 20s that comes with sport package is pretty massive and its gonna cost a fortune to replace the tires

http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/ctd/1505408269.html




listed for $32883 so probably i can talk it down little more.

I love the sound of the FX35s

Would be a real nice pick up.

My only problem with them is they are a Infiniti, and they all come with the boring orange/red gauges.

i think this will be a good pick up too. resale value on infinitis are really low these days while resale value on my tl jumped up recently making a sweeter deal.

most i hate about is the orange guage too. orange ugly guages on $40~50k cars are plus the cheaper feeling interior panel materials

also most of the performance parts are interchangeable with g35 and 350z. i think even nismo catback from 350z fits fx35.

thats a nice TL but im a sucker for carbon grey colors =)


you good at soldering MIN? you can always order new lights for the dash and just redo them in the colors you want.. and i also thought i read that too about the exhaust being interchangeable.. sounds like a win win for that vehicle.. only prob is its uber heavy.. i like it though for the fact you can still take it up to the mountain

i think fx is the only suv that really integrated sports + suv with good looking exterior design. plus so many bolt on parts that can be interchangeable, it can be decently fast for a suv.
