Does your tint get darker as you go from the front windows back?

Bdh21(Montego) has his set up that way. Mine(AW) is 50% all the way around

By the way, I liked all the performance accessories on your car, they look great.

Very good point you have there. and thanks, I hope to get the rear goodies too at some point to tie it all together.

Oh and then again, maybe the 87 seconds thing is kinda outta the picture since the course is never the same.. whoops

Dude I cant wait to see what this looks like on your ride!!!! I also cannot wait to tear through the rest of these runflats and do the same. I bet you woulda cracked 87 given another four runs!!

PS how do you put more than one quote in a post?

Thats my montego 135i! I have 35% front and 25% rears. In MA, it doesnt matter what % the rear windows are but the front has to be 35%

i placed 7th out of 12 in my class. but, I beat another jb3 135, so I was happy, though i did get killed by a stock 335 and a 128

dude you n me were going back n forth...next time i'll try set the jb3 to stock n see how we stack up. knowing auto-x, i might even be faster w/o the extra power

that happened on my last run! actually, in the middle of the 2nd option slalom i hit the washer fluid spray. turns out water is pretty hard to see through when there's only a little bit. so of course i was in the car screaming FVCK MEEE, but thankfully i was able to hit the single wipe just after that first ~130 degree right hander (turn 2?)

and after all that, that run was STILL my fastest time. 90.29 for the auto-x virgin

i'll never forget my first time
