I'm more of an interior and electronics person, so the turbo project was just icing for me. I'm still swooning over the leather seats and your cluster. Didn't know they put a cluster that sexy looking in the Del Sol.

as promised

yay for no more bubbles, no more purple fade, no more peeling, and most importantly... being able to see out of my back window!

(back window looks light in the picture because of the way the light is hitting it, but it's really not very light at all... 15%)

It looks like you just cleaned your interior. The dash is super-reflective in that first picture.

Do you ever get pulled over down there for tint? This is the one thing I will not do to my car since it attracts the wrong type of attention (Police, of course) around my area.

Well you live in PA. Legal limit is 70%. Easy to tell when someone is running illegal tint there. That's probably why it gets so much attention.

Legal limit here is 28% front side windows, 15% rear side and rear windows. In my area they don't really care... my friend has 5% and hasn't been bothered yet. But I have heard that other places in FL are more strict, especially bigger cities. Since I am moving to Tampa I decided to keep it legal just in case... especially since it cost me $150 so if I had to remove it there goes $150 plus the fine, and I don't think I would have gotten a lifetime warranty if it were illegal tint because the tint shop would have done that under the table to avoid the paper trail.


Oh and yea, I cleaned it a few days before the picture was taken. Though it's not usually that reflective. It may be hotter in the northeast right now temperature wise, but believe me when I say the sun here is brutal.

installed the spoiler this evening... actually was pretty difficult to get everything lined up perfectly, but well worth the patience.
