Ready to race!
I'm still thinking of doing 35% in the back and 50% fronts but I know in MN state troopers love giving tickets for that shit. So still on the fence about tint. My car had tint on it before but the dealership took it off. I had to go through every window and clean the rest of the tint off. Dealer just ripped it off without actually taking off the seals and inside door and doing it proper.

Ish why do dealers just half ass it all the time. Yea some officers out there love to pull cars over for any reason they can to then try to find something more interesting.
This is my first car with tint on the front windows, so I'm a bad judge at the moment on knowing if it's enough. Was really hoping for a bigger change in how it looks. I did really like the impact it had with night driving, headlights are far less harsh in the mirrors.
Another guy from MN on here has 35% in the back and I think it's probably best of both worlds. May get pulled over but with all other windows barely tinted they may just forget about it.

Got some things done today!!!!:happyanim::thumbup:
Swapped to my Winter Set. VW Sedona's
Installed Rear Mud Flaps
Disconnected my Soundaktor
Happy with all three. Wish I would have plasti dipped the wheels black. Cold weather caught me of guard, I guess. Really like being able to hear the engine now. Can't believe they felt the need to add that. :iono:
Changing the wheels had me staring at the side door guards added by the previous owner/factory. Don't seem to actually protect the door. Wouldn't enjoy trying to remove them so they will stay for now. Winter Readyaddle::thumbsup:

Im not sure how these will function for you. I have never personally seen them. But these might be an option for your turn signals.

As far as LEDs for the reverse lights:

I hope this helps. Im not a light guru. Deautokey has a very good product and they are good about any warranty issues.

Went APR stage 1 finally!!! What everyone says is true, best mod you can do for the money and really should be how the car comes stock. So much fun. My mpg's are suffering greatly so far, however that seems to be all my own creation hahah. Can't wait to go to stage 2, hopefully that will be enough...

Haha I know... sadly. While shopping downpipes it's just too easy to jump over to K04 information. I'm loving it so glad I finally went for it. One a completely random note I did pick up my dream classic car today, 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville. Needs some work but I'm ready for it and in my opinion it's ready to cruise as is.
