I believe the levels of tint they offer are 35, 20 and 5 (%). For 35% that means it will let 35% of the light hitting it through. So 5% is like limo tint and is dark as hell. On my last car I got 20% on the two front windows, 5% on the rear side and back windows and then a 20% sunstrip. I have to say it was nice when driving in the sunrise or sunset scenario where the sun was coming in the top part of the windshield. Made a big difference. And it didn't hurt that it looked pretty badass.

Congratulations. I'm sure you will enjoy it immensely. Any plans on modding the car?

Sunglasses with a sunstrip makes the sunrise and sunset even better. As for the rest of the windows unfortunately sunglasses don't keep the interior of the car cooler in the summer.

I got 20% done with the dealer. I know they source that out, but I don't know to who. Maybe it's in the pack of papers I got with the car, I'll have to have a look. |

Plan on wheels tires and a big break kit to start. Maybe a subtle aero kit but definately a rear deck spoiler. Plan on using it as a track car at some point. when powertrain warranty runs out then I'll start on the engine.

Fair enough. If you're going to order wheels and tires from the states you might want to look at shipping them to the Sombre ferry near sarnia. It ships to a US address (which drastically reduces shipping charges) and they bring it across on the ferry. You just pick it up on this side, clear customs and you're home free. I've done it twice now and both times I only got charged HST, no duty. They charge 5 bucks per package so it's 20 bucks for 4 wheels with mounted tires.

I delt with Peet, super nice guy. Seems like a big car guy too, which I like. Nothing worse than dealing with someone thats just there to collect a paycheck. Ill definately make it out for the track day, hopefully hear something about it soon.

I had Peet as well. I have to say it has been a pleasure dealing with him. I know what you mean about him being a car guy. I have to be careful when I go in there cause I end up talking to him far longer than I should.

Agreed, do you happen to know if they have any way of ordering and TRD stuff for the our car yet? Ive gotten a few things done the last couple days that Ive wanted to do, but would like to see what they have.
