Kevin, you are a liar.... if you didnt care about looks you wouldnt be washing your car three times a week and have purchased a california duster.... you just care less about looks.


I say window tint, it will make an absolutely drastic difference in the car and you will notice it much more than an intake.

I voted Tint, just because... & with the $90 Ebay intake, you know you can just go to Advance Auto Parts & just get a "Conical Air Filter"/a Cone Air Filter, & put it on the end of your intake. That Cone Air Filter only costs like $15....

I'm not extremely pleased with my ebay intake, looks are good, but the rubber bracket thing broke in half so i had to fab my own bracket, fitment still isn't great, but it is better than it was when i got it. Also, you have to cut the end off to make it work correctly. Filter still rubs a little as well.

All in all i say go with the window tint, and save up for a quality rebelworx intake that doesn't rub. Or do the airbox mod and the window tint, i've only seen an increase in whine and no noticeable power increase from Airbox mod to Ebay CAI.

Shop for a better deal on tint and get both. I paid $110 for tint.
Here's a cheaper intake http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RED-0...spagenameZWDVW
