car salon is good, and so is mr.detail on mcloed. id say go at least 20% or you will be dissapointed.

i had all 5 windows 23% and it was perfect, but then after i had to peel the front to windows (dumb cops) i got them at 35% which was kinda light and didnt do much.

so go at least like 20%

what banzai did looks really good, its a little dark though, might attract po-po

usually they wont pull you over for having tint, but if you get a speeding ticket or wahtever and the cop is on a power trip he might give you a fine for the tint as well. but be careful in sylvan lake, they are tint *****

Ummm........they will pull you over just for tint. Had it done in my last car. No speeding, no stupid driving....all because of the tint.

I had limo (5%) on the back and 35% on the front windows and was pulled over. Had to remove the tint in 24 hours too.

Right now I have 50% all around and have never had a problem.

im sure thats 1 in a million that you got pulled over with 35% tint. i had that on my cobalt, and you can see in fine, its not too dark at all. not to mention its pretty rare for a cop to pull over for tint.

Go through the rubber grommet that is below the steering column inside the car. If you stick your head under the dash you will see it directly below the steering column, to the right of the clutch pedal.

What he said this is the only hole into the inside of the car.

O by the way I got my turbo installed. I had to put the factory springs back in. The car is way faster but stupid loud. I still have to install the water meth and intercooler then up the boost a bit. Then change the clutch then probably the diff.
pay to play It pulls super hard I bet the car will run low 13's now.

he has to use the stock springs because it sits too low and he bottomed out leaving his drive way and bent one of his exhaust tubes.
