Ah yes, tints! I've been considering that. The dealership I purchased it at has a contact with the major local tinting place, and my buddy who bought his Accord there and got it tinted at their contracted place said they did an awesome job, so I'll be doing that sometime soon.

And rims... I honestly know nothing about rims, but I will look into them, since that's not the first time someone suggested them to me.

you should get some rims and tires, but not huge rims. Maybe an inch bigger than stock and lower profile tires. I would lower it too. Your lucky your first car is brand new!
ps, love the color.

That'll probably be down the road (no pun intended). I'll probably doing tints sometime soon given they're relatively inexpensive, but any major mods will wait until I've rebuilt my liquid savings, given I spent 30% of it on my downpayment (I'm a fiscal hermit crab and like keeping all money, what can I say ).

And yeah, I'm glad to be the first owner of my first car. I'm glad I waited and saved up for it. It was a PITA not driving until now (almost 21), but it was a good trade off, imo.

However, considering I just dropped $8k on my downpayment and $4k on university fees/books, I'm not exactly in the position to spend more money, even though that's an insanely good deal.

I'll keep an eye on those, though. If they're still around in a month or so (given the deal, probably won't be, but it's worth checking), I'll check back in to see if it'd be workable.



Best of luck in finding them a new owner, though, whether it be myself or someone else!
