Thanks. It's on my maybe list. I see it on some of the older sports and love it, but on some it looks out of place to me. So I'm really on the fence about it.

Thanks for the kind words.

Grounding kit is on the way. Ever since I put on the exhaust I notice a tiny bit of intermittent transmission flare. Hopefully this will help or eliminate it.

Really like this!

What's your opinion of the 50% tint. I want to go with something lighter than the usual 30%, and yours looks to be about right. Would you say it offers enough comfort/privacy? Did it turn out the way you intended, or was it darker/lighter?

sweet ride. love the rims and tires. an OE front chin spoiler would finish off the front end nicely. i just threw on my chin spoiler over the weekend and love it. $299 shipped, 1.5 hrs to install taking my time and with an uncooperative drill.

NY laws call for 70% on the fronts so once you go dark they start busting your chops.

Hoen fog lights
Illuminated kick plates
Midnight grill
Lowered on swift springs
Coupe 19's powder coated and wrapped in BFG KDW's
Topspeed exhaust
Rear valence overlay
Daytime running lights (Never intended to use them, but they flowed so well)
50% tint all around
Rear lip spoiler
Interior led conversion
Led plate lights and parking lights

Probably some other small stuff I can't think of right now.

What are the tire specs? Spacers or do Coupe rims have a more aggressive offset vs sedan to fit flush like this?
