so what's everyone been doing now that the sun has come out to play?

i waxed the balt and im getting my rear windshield tint fixed so the dot matrix doesn't look like crap, did anyone else have a problem with this when they got their back windows done?

what do u mean? are u talking about all the little dots on the top of the rear window? if u r i think i know wut ur talking about, cuz i saw a 08 eclipse that had messed up lookin tint cuz of those bumps or dots.

is it bad on the balts? cuz i was thinking of gettin my windows done in the near future. and how easy is it to fix?

almost 99.9% of people who tint their rear windows with that dot matrix in the back can't tint all the little dots.. so most people either 1- Put a vinyl over top or 2- paint it from the inside.

ive been working and thats about it. i have a to-do list, mainly involves claybar, cut polish, wax and other cleaning, and changing my resonator yet again. quick tip: if people tell you to replace your resonator with a cheap glasspack, dont do it. i replaced my rattling magnaflow with a cheapy and it sounds like crap, and im still trying to figure out what to put on it. the only upside to it is i get great fuel economy cause i wont go into boost much as it sounds like a fart can on a honda

that would be great if u could keep me/us updated on how it turns out. this is something that might make or break my choice in getting my windows tinted.

i had the windows tinted in my last car and love the look. but im not a big fan of how it looks with the bumps at the top.
