i may be going with 35% all the way around. my car is black. i think that would look good on silver also. i would do the windshield but its illegal where i live so thats a no go.

Guru, I already told you what I have, 15% rear window and $20 on the sides. I think a light tint on the windshield would look nice. I believe it's illegal in most places though.. It helps if you have a dark interior. I went lighter on the sides so they wouldn't be on my case so much. "Knock on Wood" I haven't been pulled over once...

I have 35% on the 55 and 20% on my DD; I prefer the 20% and will be pulling the 35 off and putting 20 on. As far as the windshield goes - I'm doing mine but at 75% (just doing it for the UV protection as 35% on the windshield at night is just too much for me).

Depends on how much you want to drop it. You could go with springs like Eibach or H&R depending on how aggressive you want to go. I have some H&R springs for sale, but I don't know if they will fit your model

Eibach's will lower 1.2" all around and the H&R's 1.4" Front and 1.3" Rear. Your not really going to get rid of the front gap with springs. With the H&R's the rear will look lower than the front. The Eibachs give you a pretty even drop but since your on 18's you will notice the difference.

I doubt it, but it depends on your whole setup. Rims, tires, suspension. You shouldn't have any problems though, I ran the H&R's for a few years with no rubbing

Depends on how low you want to go. You could go with H&R and raise the rear with spring pads if it's too low. I was running 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear with no rubbing issues on H&R springs.
