Yes it is illegal but I had it on my tC for 2 1/2 years and only got pulled over twice for it, and just got a verbal warning. Just my experience with it. You can always do darker tint in the back and 50% on the fronts, the dark tint in the back will make it look darker all around. I personally just chose to go with 35 because it looks good

Almost all tint shops will not go to a lower percentage unless you have an optometrist's note or a dermatologist's note to request a lower percent.

Even if the shop installs the tint, you can still get a ticket from law enforcement because it breaks the law. It's a screwy law considering how bright/ reflective this state is year round.

Ok. Thats what I've read. I really wish MN could be like most other states... 35 looks good

Ok. I'm still undecided. But yours looks nice!

Well I started my swaybar installation tonight and was thwarted by a rounded off nut. I'll be at Luce tomorrow, however I may or may not be in the BRZ depending on how quickly everything goes back together.

mityfang · 03-30-2013, 01:28 AM

Wish I could come. On my way back from the roadtrip to California

I'm good for 11:15. Going to install the oil Valve today and fresh oil, woot! Installed my side markers yesterday. Wheels are en-route from Cali.

It's raining today, beautiful spring weather, see you guys @ 11:15.

FYI: Breggfast pizza tastes just as good reheated as it does in the restaurant. This thing easily knocked out this mornings hangover.

LeeMaster · 03-31-2013, 03:27 PM

Saw a nice looking white brz limited heading east on 94 by snelling ave. Anyone in here?

M3GH4N · 04-01-2013, 09:01 AM

Spent part of yesterday installing coilovers and took some pictures for you guys...

Before

After. (Lighting was a little different at this point)

Final product:

Took us about 2 1/2 hours to get to the height I wanted, with a couple adjustments.

Very nice! What shop is this? Looks to be right off American BLVD in Bloomington?

EDIT: OH! And you're one the lucky ones who got Bridgestones rather than Prius donuts!

neutron256 · 04-01-2013, 09:57 AM

Thanks to all who came to brunch Saturday. It was great seeing all the changes you've made to your cars.

Red, white, and blue

I had to come in my Fit because...

A pain in the ass rounded off nut resulted in a delay in finishing the upgrades I started Friday night.

-Cusco front and rear strut tower braces (w/Master Cylinder brace)
-Perrin Front and Rear Sway Bars
-Knockoff OEM rear diffuser
-Summer wheels and tires

After seeing @mityfang's rear diffuser I was inspired to install my knockoff one. I was able to install it without completely removing the rear bumper cover, but I did still have to loosen the sides.

Some crappy pics thanks to poor lighting, and a dirty car. The clean new diffuser on a dirty bumper looks very strange.

It's at Bobby & Steve's off France Ave

Starscream15 · 04-01-2013, 11:11 AM

Speaking of the knock-off rear diffuser, please do link me! Search function never works for me

Meghan, there are a few of us always in the Bloomington area. We should all meet up for lunch sometime. I vote for Jason's deli.
