i agree with Ruffstik...
I just got around that same thing...i just got 30% metallic tint. looks classy. they'll put on as low as 15% (which is VERY dark) -- looks ghetto. i wouldn't go any darker than 30%....you run the risk of looking like a teenager. where is FL are you? i'm in melbourne.

Unfortunately, 35% is the darkest I will be able to go when I get back to MD (legally that is, and i would never do anything illegal......) |

A set of non run flat tires, then sell the stock tires if the tread is still good. Use whatever profit you make on the stock tires for further mods. A set Yokohama S-drives will be about $650 shipped and installed.

Straight line or curves?
For straight line fun, you're on the right track. For the curves, a new set of tires would do wonders. After you wear out this set of RFT's.... |

How about a DE or some track sessions. Best bang for the buck mod.

$150 tint job sounds kinda cheap, be sure to check references and grade of film being used...
Personally, I'd tint the windows and stick the rest of the cash in the bank. That other stuff can wait...

^ trust me, if I could do it over again, I would have bought the black-outs...
I painted mine on my ZHP, took me probably a week to do it (I'm a perfectionist) sand, prime, paint, clear (multiple coats and light sanding in-between). 6 months later I started taking a sharpie to the rock-chips... Yeah, I said a sharpie, where rocks or bugs have chipped off the multiple coats of clear and black, you could see the grey primer... Then I broke an outter ring while waxing and have been borrowing a friends set of black kidneys for about 3 months...
