Where in New York are you? I just bought a 99 GS4 with 17's spoiler, nav...black w/tan...and I live in Rochester..We have been getting hammered with snow. Although I have driven in this crap all my life, I'm still concerned about driving the GS in it. I have 16 rims and Nokian Haks on order. In the mean time I won't let my 93 Acura Legend (w/4 blizzaks) go until I see just how bad/good the Gs4 handles in the snow with my new set-up. What are you driving on for the winter.
I have those tires on 16 inch. They are good but it doesn't help. The GS is horrible to drive in snow.

Question WIndow TINT

Are there no laws in your state dictaing the darkness of the tint? Most states will not allow the really dark Sh*& on the driver or passenger side. Just wondering.

Is there any way you can get us some kind of close up on that tint of yours? maybe a picture of just the door, so we can all see just how dark 6% is. That would be really great. Thanks in advance.
