Overall I'm happy with my 35% tint, it appears darker due to the black interior of our cars, and when I go through inspection I will pass and not have to deal with either getting the tints re-dont each year, or having to "know a guy" that will pass me.

When I lived in NJ, no tint at all was allowed on the front two windows, so if you had tinted windows, you were a target for a cop to pull you over and give you a $150 ticket.
Here in NY, I've seen mostly dark rear windows and lighter front, although some cars have dark glass all around. I have some window tint that I'm going to try to put on the rears when it gets warmer - like in May.

Any pics?!
Honestly it's almost impossible to see. Extremely subtle. It's not something that you would notice, but it's still there so it still adds to the overall dark gray/black feel of the entire car (lx has almost no silver/chrome on the front or back. So the entire car is black and dark gray once you add black wheels).

I'll get you a better picture with the whole car in a bit once it's not so damn cold out lol

Did you wrap the roof spoiler as well? Would like to see a picture from standing in front of the car as well as behind it.

Looks like it came out good, no bubbles.

Nope, just up to the point where the spoiler is. And sure I'll snag some pics and put it up here.

I know I'm 4 days late on this but I was away. Not sure if there is much of a write up to do. I think the link to the exhaust tip was posted somewhere earlier in this thread a few pages back.

It comes with three bolts. Simply slide it on to the exhaust and screw down the bolts. I'm not a DIY guy and even I thought this one was kind of easy.

I'm in the process of installing a hard wired remote to open my garage door. The thread about it is in a sub-forum. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ml#post1278787

Of course, I *did* rebadge it as a Jazz...

The "Upright" link I have above is a direct link to the picture. I also tried to embed it on the forum and it came out upside down… at least in Safari on a MacBook Pro.

I usually post from my MBP 17, but wasn't close to it. Posting from an "iDevice" seems to flip the pic for some reason - not Apple-like at all...

Anyone going to try Bisi's new GK pulse exhaust. It would be interesting to hear from someone on the response.

Okay, I am at my laptop now and re-uploaded the photo - it's right side up now!

Im curious about this as well, as well as the 5-7 HP gain, which I question.
