Thanks Bruce! Yes, I wanted to do tint after the air runners, and Weds Kranze, but umm, thats like $10K in mods right there... Compared to what it cost for this lil mod, I kinda went the easy route for now.

Thanks for everyones input!

I am shooting for a VIP styled SC since SC's are not VIP cars... This is my first step in the right direction, small yet profound!

It came with no tint whatsoever. I wanted tint, but not your run of the mill black, or charcoal. I liked what I saw on other VIP cars, saw Robert's post about his green tint, and sooner than I thought, I was green!

Cherplex, you can always go with a gold/bronze tint.



Definitely won't be mistaken for as a yakuza, but it's not bad.

thank you...!

I could've saved myself a few thousand if I just did some things the right way instead of taking shortcuts the first time around.

Weds Kranze - 4k
tires - 1k +
Air Runner + install - 4 or 5k

that's about 10k right there.

Im so torn between the Bazreia and the Ratzinger models... I love both looks, yet only have funds enough for 1 set.

I'm lookin' to roll with 19x9.5 +10 (f) and 19x11 0 (r)
