Default Evolution.

I'm trying to keep it as conservative as possible. I am debating tinting it, what do you all think?

When I bought the car, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I browsed the forums for a few months before becomming a member and had the opportunity to see the many different options that were available.

Stock

Rims and tires, stock ride height

Rims, tires, springs and spoiler

The car has been this way for several months now, but I thought I'd share - since I rarely do that. =)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

A light tint would look good. Not too dark as it is a silver car.

Default Nice subtle improvements that enhance the car, rather than draw attention to the mods themselves.

NICE!

ArtsA6Q,

It looks great!!!.. Esp. with the springs and rims. Question: what springs did you use and what is the rim size?

I agree with EgilA64.2s regarding the tint. Don't over do the tint. keep it light. Personally, I don't like tint because in Jersey, cops are always bothering you when you have tints. And, they are ok if you tint the back but not the front. And we know that would not look right. So, I gave up on tint altogether.

Also as a suggestion, why don't you buy the '02
tail lights? You can pick up aftermarket ones for ~$90 each... that's what I did and I love the way they look. They have the yellow signal light vs. red. just a thought..

Default Here's 3M, 20% all around, except the window. I think it's ideal for look and visibility.
