Washed The Balt

Just washed her! I think she's coming along nicely after getting her in December. Really gotta fix my hazzy headlights, their looking pretty terrible. Other wise, ENJOY!

Looks good man, I love it when people take care of their cars, even if it is just an econobox!

To do list after restoring the headlights:
1. window tint;
2. tint 3rd brake light and rear side markers. They sell pre-cut smoke vinyls on Ebay if you don't want to mess with paint

Haha thanks guys. Definitely want it lowered (It looks like a 4x4 in the back!), however I don't care enough to lower it if it sacrifices performance at all. SO I'm really looking for springs/shock combo that will lower me a decent amount and maybe give me some better handling?

Was quoted $160 for all windows minus windshield. Sound good? The tint was Lumar.

Yea gotta do the markers and third brake light. I ran out of time when I VHT'ed the tails.

Powell YYZ springs are the way to go if you're looking for a handling upgrade more than to be "slammed". They still lower the car significantly, see mine in the picture below. YYZ's are the ONLY springs that will not settle and deteriorate so well worth the extra $$$.
As for window tint, I'd make sure to get the metallic 3M film, it's much more effective at keeping the heat out
