yes my windshield among everything else is tinted. i manage a detail shop and we also tint windows at my work. my daily driver hemi ram has it's WS tinted as well just goes with the territory!


I have a '98 2 door tahoe for my DD with the windshield tinted 50% and sometimes its a bitch to see at night......especially with the double 5% on the other windows.

well my camaro is limo'd all out with 35% on the windshield. it actually is sortof hard to see out at night. i bought 8000K HID's and it helped a lot! my ram has 15% all around with 35% platinum tint on the windshield(the silvery/mirrory looking stuff) it's a lot easier to see out of at night then the black films and it's less noticable. it just looks like the windshield always has a glare on it rather then just BLACK like my camaro

50% isn't too hard to see out of IMO, my old ranger DD was limo over factory on the rear, 20% on the sides and i had 35% black on the windshield until i got pulled over and i stripped it right in front of the cop and he started cracking up, then i retinted it later that day with 50% and it was really easy to see out of.

less restriction, it's 3 1/2" from the turbo to the IC, 4" from the IC to the TB. eventually i will add another blow off valve to the other side of the intercooler as i know i will be running a lot of boost and it very possibly might be testing the limits of that cheap *** ebay intercooler and anything i can do to prevent it from blowing into a million pieces will be a good idea i think

It is not there right now but it will be as hidden as possible though. Telekinesis is where it is at now, you don't even need wires now, just think it and it will happen. Seriously the intension is to hide them in the inner fender though.

LMAO, yeah i just went to the bar with rob and rick tonight for dinner and $2 labatts!! Rob said you broke your finger last night?? WTF?? lol, and i happened to be wearing a skinny kid T, did you know that one bartender chick@ the IT used to date brian@skinny? small world...

anyways...didn't do too much today, but we did take the radiator back out and made it a dual pass. plugged up the upper and put them both on the passanger side and then put a divider half way down, so now both the inlet and outlet of the radiator are on the passanger side. also mounted my headlights back on not much else.

The guy that's going to be doing all the wiring is supposed to be by wednesday or thursday i was told to start getting things ready for the BS3 going in.
