im not sure the make of the exhaust as i didnt do that, i just removed the resonators and rear cats to make it sound a LOT more throaty and bad ***. The wheels are L Sportage 3 piece with spacers in the rear to bring them out just the right amount right to the wheel well to give it that more aggressive rake/stance.

as for light tint, they make all sorts of vinyl and films that can protect your car paint, lights, etc. This material is call Xpel (www.xpel.com)...it will protect your lights, as well as tint them as light or dark as you want. This way you can get the perfect darkness you want with total consistancy to the color (unlike when you paint the lights to tint them). You cant even see any seams or edges even when you look close (must have it professionally installed of course). This way when i go to resell the car if someone doesnt like the tint, they can simply remove it and the lenses will still look like new! pretty sick imo

Looks nice but the offset on the front wheels looks odd and why would anyone replace the quad tips with dual tips? looks really odd with the stock quad tip notches but only 2 pipes

the rears are 285 20x10 inch wheels. they look extra wide because they have spacers on them to clear the brakes that brings them out a little further for that extra aggressive look. i had to roll and shave the fenders/bumpers but you cant even tell by looking at it.

as for the exhaust, i thought the same thing at first but the more i see it on the car...along with the sound of it, they have really grown on my and i like them. they look a lot better in person than in pics for sure!
