While ago.

And you're slowing destroying your motor by doing that. It's causing knock. You need premium just for normal driving.

well fords ecoboost runs on regular, and no where does it state PREMIUM only it says recomended, i wont use regular. this is first tank, dont see any signs of knocking runs fine and gets way better MPG, after 3 days of driveing ive only used a 1/4 tank when usally its down to 5/8's. if it blows oh well its under warrenty and since the dealer wouldnt figure out what the whineing noise at 60 mph is hopefully this will.

Why are you running mid grade? It beats the living **** out of me because you are not saving much at all. The entire "If it blows up it will get replaced under warranty" is ridiculous statement to say the least. The lower octane will retard timing and you will lose power, simple as that. You bought a $16,000^ car, at least try to treat it like one.

Anyone have experiences getting tint prescription? My eyes are fine just really hate dealing with tint tickets, I only have 35% on the front and is far less then what some people drive with.

I have one, but its for medical reasons. Even with a high sensitivity to brightness it was a pain trying to get one.

That's what I'm worried about I might just get it taken off

ssyellow

Its 70ish to do the fronts again. I would just pull it off and leave it off. Thats what I did on my first Cobalt.

That's probably what I will do save from messing with finding a doctor and paying for office visit.

The limit for the fronts is 35... Mine are at 20 in front and limo in back and i havent had a problem. Yea ive heard that its a pita to get too and sometimes the cop doesnt even take it(from what ive heard).

ssyellow

Believe it or not I got out of 2 stops for my tint before my prescription haha. Just have to sweet talk them

devilbmxer120

Lol i always get dick cops :/ oh welll

Forgot to properly introduce myself to the Michigan thread

Here's what I built before I got my cobalt.





And the cobalt I'm working with now is just a 2007 Base model LS if that explain it all...
Lowering it on FE5 Suspension with CM springs, and throwing on some 17's when I get money for tires. Nothing special... If it doesn't give me too much of a headache I might supercharge it someday, car only has 58k on it right now.

notorious tintz has a insurance policy for tint. if you get a ticket they will pull it off and replace it after its "fixed". i havent had any troubles for my 35 up front and plenty of cops see it. they dont even mention my tinted plate cover anymore

Shibito

I have a prescription, even though I haven't tinted my truck yet. I know there's a place in Fenton that gives it out to anyone who pays for the exam. Don't remember the doctor's name though.

State law states no tint is allowed on the front windows except for the top 4'' of the window.


Welcome Andy!!!

alot of eye doctors will give u a precription. u just have too pay. but even with a prescription u still have the hassle of being pulled over in the first place. on my old impala i had the lightest tint on all windows and had the windshield done also. it was so light i never got bothered. ive had other cars with the fronts done in limo and had nothing but problems with police. i dont even bother with tinting the fronts anymore. it too big of a pita to be pulled over for.

i have stock injectors, stock supercharger 25k miles, intake manifold and what ever else u may need off a stock SS/SC motor

15 is the bare bones I'd take as it sits. Actually that's just above trade-in with a lot of coin in mods.

Anything less it wouldn't be worth it to me. Actually is stored right now and I've debated just trading it in with my second car to get something sensible. However can't bring myself to do it yet.

ssyellow

Welcome Andy. I see you are a lady soooo watch out for those internet leg hummers

Alan, with a prescription I think it said 35 is the limit on the fronts when I looked it up online. With that being said I just had a ticket written off and the officer looked up the tint limit with a prescription and he said there wasn't any soooo take it how you want hah.

well im experimenting. it does save money, down here premium is like 25 cents more than mid. as for treating the car like what its worth, i dont care anymore, its got a used door the paint is shot, and with every mile put on it more **** breaks when all i do is drive it to work, never beat on it, hell i even took the dam tune off it. plus i dont make ****, its hard to be 25 living with parents and cant even go places.
