Cops have biggers things to worry about, like murders maybe. I'm surprised they called you out on it. Was it a rookie or veteran who got you?

And to keep this on topic, kev, your tint looks good man.

IMHO, the stock grille is soo much cleaner than the CL style. They just look out of place to me.

You car is perfectly lowered! I mean with having springs only , it looks balance F and R.

I would've gotten Tein springs I guess if I knew they had it back then before I bought my COs.

I think the CL-style grill is so much better than stock.

well the guy that did my tint has a 'lifetime guarantee/warantee', so i just took advantage of that cuz my tint was scratched and made him do it darker, he charged me for the rear triangle windows cuz they werent scratched, for $40..so not bad

Glad to see that the rims are doing well. When I went to sell I knew that the buyer of these rims would get a great deal. Kev stole them. 800 for the rims and tires. Should have been 1100. Good luck Kev, the car looks great. All you have to do now is start working on the inside. TV in the headrest and a new system. The outside is nice.


P.S. Do you ever use the carcover??????

yeah i meant i went a few days of unprotected window usage AFTER the safe-waiting period...the waiting period varies accordingly to the weather...it only takes one hot and sunny day with the sun beating down on your car for your tint to settle...in the winter, it'll take a few days.
