thanks for all the input guys!!! 20% tint all the way around with the sunshades up all the time. I think it will be much better looking with the front lip and a ELM so slam it. now time for some go fast mods! :-)

any recommendations on a ELM? I really really want to lower it but do not want any issues with the airmatic system. I am going to contact Amile (spell check) at Benz Elite in Alexandria VA because I have heard good things about his shop on this forum and want see how much the damage is to get one. I need to put on my black grill, flat hood badge and front lip first though.

I have one renntech ELM V3 that i plan on getting rid of.. But you can maybe contact emoving cause he got the V2 for cheap.

I am interested I just need to do some research on Renntech and see what the difference in models are (V2,V3,etc) . PM me what you are looking to sell it for. I live in Prince William County and have only been stopped once for no front tag and they let me off with a warning. I grew up in Fairfax County and know they will pull you over for anything even slightly modified, expecially tint. I very rarely drive any of my cars in Fairfax County anymore just because of the amount of times I get pulled over because all of my cars have 20% tint or darker.
