You're a brave man to have limo tint in Cali. Those cops will pull you over for tint. Lol.

Haha, I normally drive with my windows down. I'm in sunny so cal so it's nice and cool over here. Cops here aren't really bothering people with tinted windows anymore though!

Ive got 5% on the back, 15 on the sides and 30 on the windshield. It looks great, and I have never been hassled for it. Its not even that dark, I drive it at night a lot and it cuts down glare. To each their own.

i've been considering tinting my windshield, but i figured that it would reduce my visibility at night. Seems like its not too big of a deal, then.

Having your side windows at 15% might make a huge difference compared to my 5% all around haha. Then again, My front windshield is already made with a slight tint from factory. I could only imagine how much darker it would get if I tinted it. Thanks for the suggestion though

Good looking calipers bro! What would really be a additional nice touch, powder coat or paint your top hats blacks, and accent those calipers with some LEXUS emblems-or a wicked TRD emblem?

I am awaiting my Lexus stickers also. I have another member cutting them as we speak. I hope these turn out ok and fit with the curve on the caliper.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the rotor top hat.

On your HKS coils what do you have the front and rear dampers set at? I've been trying to find a setting that I like for my own car.

Any reason why the rears are stiffer than the front?

Comfort and faster dampening to catch back on the road during cornering on freeways. Stiffer on the rear to catch weight transfer during launch. I don't track, just a daily car. Maxing is over kill
