It won't be noticeable till you're already pulled over for something else(now you have two potential tickets), or you cross an officer looking for a reason to check drivers (Friday night).

Couple months back I went to pick up the gf after my late night hockey game. She was out for girls night. Pulled over in my truck on the way to her because the truck isn't on stock suspension and I didn't add mid flaps. After being questioned twice about having been drinking I was given a fix it ticket and let go.

Yes, if you haven't done anything wrong you have nothing to worry about. However, if the same situation above occurs because of the tint on the front you're now out the cost of adding and removing it.

Just things to keep in mind. KnaWhatImSayin?

Totally. I'll need one for everything I'm doing with the car, might as well let you have a crack at it stock.

The header I will not be keeping has a price tag on it, 450. Whoever wants it let me know as its basically going to go towards the Dyno time. It may be possible for you to even get a dyno run in if you like but that will have to be seen.
The expected time for the dyno event is going to be in 2 weeks probably on a Friday or Saturday and in Tucson most likely.

Also I am not going to make it to Fox and the Hound tonight.

Both are UEL, I am working on getting a EL too but nothing yet. I think Jack wants something else, we spoke earlier.

I am looking for one more stock or near stock car that wants to do ecutek testing for me for basemaps. Its okay if your looking to mod soon, I'll retune it for you. I just need to finish testing this map. Willing to swap tuning services if you pay for dyno time (I get a good rate) and can get you a good rate on cable & license if you don't have. I get good dyno rates.

Must be wiling to test a map every 1-2 days (if your willing to do more, AWESOME) and return some logs & meet in person a few times. Then we can setup a dyno time to finalize tuning. PM me if interested! I wan't to see what I can crank out of a 100% stock car!

I got my tint and PPF done at Cactus tint in Scottsdale off of Raintree Dr.

Rick the owner is the man, really cares about the customer and knows his stuff.

I got 3M 50% Crystalline over 35% 3M FX tint (to make it darker), it's combined ~17% now all around except the windshield, which is just 50% Crystalline.

The thing about tint is that depending on the brand and the model of tint, the shade is different. The 50% Crystalline is a normal blue-ish/black shade but the 40% is for some reason a tan shade. Keep that in mind where ever you go and tell them exactly what you want. Combination of tint %, shade color and effects. Crystalline blocks basically 99% of everything but only comes in a few % options, nothing less than 40%. FX blocks only half of everything but is cheap(er) and comes in darker %'s which is why I got a 2nd layer of it on top of the Crystalline to get to ~17% combined.

The pic of my car in my thread in my sig is ~17% and that's with a sunset shining through the window.

Also a good paint/body shop that some of the guys on here go to is Allard Collision off of Arizona Ave and Warner in Chandler, John the owner is also the man.

Notice I like dealing directly with owners since it's their business on the line, not some salesman making a buck off a sale.
