What % is your tints?


I had never noticed that your car does not have the typical spoiler we have here in the US.

Cars looking clean, keep it up

The girl at the shop was telling me but was not really listening. They had 5 grades. Lets say 1 being lightest, 5 darkest. I put 4 on the back and rear 1/4 windows and then 3 on the front windows.

Over here where not allowed by law to have any tint on the front windows so have to be a bit careful.

Yep the spoiler is still an option over here.. tbh I dont really like the oem spoiler.

Thanks lexusrott, Ive got a Rotora 6/4 setup BBK on order and its gonna look so nice with those wheels as you can pretty much see right through them as the spokes are so thin.

Although I dont think my wheels are VIP enough

Hiya Johnny, it was a custom system made by http://www.longlife-exhausts.co.uk new bigger pipes, the rear silencer removed, 5" tailpipes and sports cat. Im very happy with it and the price was alot cheaper then the Blitz exhaust. Big noticeable difference is it really took out the lag you get in first gear on the 2002 car.

Also makes the car sound like a V8 now.. although I get a little vibration in the car between 2000-2200 rpm.. just means I have to put my foot down more

Did you see the vid?
