And a question to anyone who had tint done. What is a ballpark figure to expect for tinting a sedan?

Ah i gotcha, I was planning on getting some 370z rims but not sure if I wanna pay that much money just for some OEM rims. I think I may end up getting either a set of light weight 18" Advans or 19" Varrstoens, would you go with 18's or 19's?

My buddy own's Tintpros so he hooked me up for pretty cheap but I'd say average for the sedan would be around $180-200 with no "hook up" but if you got a deal you may be able to get it done for cheaper maybe around $140-150.

Andrew had the DWS all seasons on his Jetta Wagon and even with FWD, that car did very well in the snow. I imagine on a AWD G you'd plow right around with little issues. I love Continental tires. I run the Extreme Winter Contacts as my winters and I love them.

Be careful with this before you start buying parts, do you know if your model has the "tech" package or not???? I read that some people have issues where their car is missing the proper harness to connect everything up because they don't have the tech package.
