Sorry, I don't have a name suggestion but had a question...

I'm from OK myself (live in Dallas now), but when I was in OK, I thought they changed up the tint laws and allowed however dark you wanted. I remember guys running 5% all around (crazy)

Not unless you're in Moore? I remember friends always having issues with Moore police...

Do you have any vids on the sound of the exhaust? In the market to upgrade my wife's

And I don't blame you about the tint....that is dark! I had 20% on my last car for 7 years and I hated it if I was in an area that had no light bc I would have to roll my windows down to see lol....so I can't imagine 5% (which I'm assuming you ave from the looks of it. I have 35 now and it is perfect for me.

And congrats on the new car....glad you were able to find another one

I just got 30 tints on my car, and i like it alot. You can look on youtube to find videos of different exhausts, the interior and exterior ones will give you a good comparision of the sound inside and outside the cabin

I'm looking for a Fierce/Feminine name...I'm not sure I can find one. For now, I'm leaning towards Kitty b/c until you put your foot in it, she purrs more than growls

Having driven it for a week, I'm liking the blacked-out windows more than I expected. I suppose it depends on whether I get stopped or not. (My personalized tag is TRBLMKR. My husband has used it as a term of "endearment" for years and I like it.)

I personally love the exhaust but Hubby's not sure he wants to listen to it on long trips. However, we own our own (automotive) shop, so I'm sure he'll find a solution that we can both live with.

In fairness, I liked my '07 better, but I'll give this one time to grow on me. Hubby said that if I decide I don't like it, we'll have to find ME another one--LOL! I'd be okay w/that!

I haven't recorded it yet. Prob better to have Hubby zip down the street and record from outside. I just love that noise! If I do, I'll try to upload a short clip.
