Yeah, shouldn't be any demons here. The car is at Straightline for a dynotune tomorrow with the new rear end, clutch and driveshaft. I have Exports coming in, getting Koni single adjustables all around and a set of Brembo rotors with Hawk pads next week. The car's officially nasty. I'll have fun with the 4.71's on the way home tomorrow.

Looks good brotha, but here in California cops would be on your *** bro. I'm actually going to tint my rear at 5% and as for my side windows about 38% which is legal right?

I'm in the military in Bahrain right now. I had limo on mine all the way around. Then spent about 1hr sitting on the side of the road pulling it off in front of the cop. :-( It's going back on though. It's cheap enough here. haha

I have 5% here also. Seeing at night isn't bad, I'll admit it does take some getting used to.

Looks awesome. Like said, you need clear corners and also a tinted license plate frame on the back would look good.
