I have been thinking of tinting windows for over a year now, just last week a truck was broken into (fixing glass was $100) which was parked next to my car - all captured in the camera. Luckily, I had a torn workout bag and they didn't bother to take it. Anyway, I am in Houston, does anyone know a good reasonable tinting place? Thanks.

sure: they go through it in this vid
1.remove front bumper, (u might have to deal with the bumper gap issue putting it back tho) i didnt fully remove it, i just undid the top and sides, but left all the bottom pop clips in.
2.use pick or glasses screwdriver to pull out the orange lock on the connector
3. there are gray plactic tabs abt half way down inside the connector. get inbetween the metal pin and gray tab and pull the tab toward the center of the connector then pull the pin out.
4. swap the white and red wires w each other, DONE

lemme know if you have q's. im on the forum all the time and have no life

The Ts is going to get a little more interesting next year. Really wanted to do the Toda 2.3 kit but bits were out of stock at the moment with no availability estimates. Evasive Motorsports came through anyways with a HKS setup. Targeting 11:5:1 compression with boost.

Pretty much all that is left is the little things, cams and picking out a header... still want to grab a Kamikaze kit too... but, the house pretty much sided against that this year.

The heat from the flames will soon help to close the bumper 'gap problem'.

Valenti 4th brake light. Had to open it up and move some wires around so the brake triangle is not tied to the running light. Dumb.
