    Do you have any pictures of the tint in the can applied on the glass ? Does it apply evenly or distort the view ? It is illegal in some States.

        Check post #45 and you can see the clarity from inside looking out. The stuff is nice. My Just check you state tint laws for the correct percentage. The guy I used was a real pro! He told me he has been tinting cars like mine since they rolled off the lot.

        Hmmm, they have TX wrong. DPS says back windows including passenger and driver have no restrictions.

          The dude I used said pretty much the exact same thing lol. Although he said the vent windows are a real bitch. Had to redo the rear window tint twice as it peeled off of the corners.

              civi or police front shocks? (I was seriously unimpressed with the civi shocks on my aero.)

                    Stock: I cut the plastic and use really good vise grips to hold the shaft.

                    If they have been replaced, I've never had a problem gripping the metal upper part with good gloves. Have done three cars that way and none have been tight enough to not come loose. Stock plastic was the worst.

                      that's the civi shock. be prepared to be a lot floaty up front.

                          the police version shock KG5458. Still have the civi shocks sitting in the corner for if they are needed for something.

                            Yep, I got the wrong ones. I wanted them stiff.

                            They wont float as bad as these...
