I think the window tint will definately make a difference. I just had the windows tinted on mine. My warden says the car looks much nicer now.
As far as tinting the rear lights, well, considering how the chuckleheads in my area drive, I would not limit any notification to them about where I am by way of lights that are "less" bright.
Your call.
Good Luck with the car. Nice color.

thanks everyone! has anyone installed a custom box for a sub in the trunk? I noticed the f2 side compartments in the trunk could be perfect a 10" sub with a custom box that fits that flush right against it. Does anyone has experience with doing something like this? Thanks!

I know passnu2 had a sub set up before I bought his car. Looked nice. Tinting the windows will make the paint look a tad darker and more depth. In a good way though. Great color.

Honestly you should do both at the same time since your gonna need an alighnement for both and the old rims gotta be taken, might as well kill two birds with one stone.

No tint! I think that color looks better tint-less.

@EN_VY: thats what i was thinking, but just the fact that i dont want people to be able to see in my car is important . I was thinkin barely gettin it tinted but all the way around including windsheid. and is changing suspension necessary? i was just gonna drop it a inch perhaps?

what do yall think about addin a exhaust?

That's very true, I regretted tinting my old GS( because of appearance) but it helped greatly to reduce heat, as Texas gets VERY hot in the summer. I had 20%, A lighter shade would look better IMO.
Suspension is all up to you, at the very minimum I would get a set of springs to drop it a bit, I think the GS sits a bit too high from factory..
