Really? I wouldn't think you'd get any more of a greenhouse effect than before, perhaps less since you're blocking light on the way in as well.

car looks sick bro.

Yea I don't recommend tinting headlights. The heat from the sun and from the HIDs can eventually cake the tint onto the headlight and it will start to crack. I painted my headlights black and they look great. Its just more of a pain in the a** to have it done, but it looks better and holds up much better over time.

Car looks great so far though. I like what you did with the roof. Unique and cleaver!

Hey SeeYaBud, your car looks hot. Thanks, the roof looks awesome indeed

I didn't want to go with the painting of the headlights because it would have been a pain to deal with if I got a ticket to fix it. I am not too worried about the tint on the headlights as I don't do much driving at night and car is parked in garage during the day

Great car you got once again man.

I like your car, birdman. Very clean and "subtle" changes that make the car look awesome.

You ever considered painting the wheels black? I think it compliments with the black very well.

Here are some vids of the Berk HFC + Nismo Catback Exhaust setup. Kept the revs under 4.5k RPM. Nice setup and a screamer once you get in the upper mids to high end RPMs.
