Definitely a happy new year! I know what you mean about turning it off. I go sit in it in the middle of the night sometimes but can't really go driving around in my boxers and nowhere to go at 2am without getting pulled over for suspicious activity.

My thoughts exactly. Tint always makes a car look nice. Called today for a quote. $140 isn't bad at all. Probably won't go limo though, don't want to give the fuzz any reasons to pull me.

I'd go limo on the back and do 20%~ on the others, or whatever legal is



Leave the port holes light, they do help when merging lanes

And if you do the back really dark it will make the rest SEMM darker than it is :-)

Yeah, right on about the exhaust note. I do miss the sound of the stock 350s when it comes to that. Other than that the 370 is better, when it comes to both the interior and exterior. I was thinking about going with the Borla True Dual system. Any advice on picking an exhaust out would be appreciated though. Thanks for love guys and gals.

Sounds like excellent advice. I planned on going limo on that back window, but never would have thought about the port holes. In our cars we need all the help we can get when it comes to merging into another lane. Gets kinda scary sometimes.
