well i bought this on ebay because i really enjoy a car with a nice lip on the front.
it gives the vehicle a slightly lower and more aggressive look, while at the same time protecting the under edge of your front bumper.

TINTED WINDOWS
This is one of the few changes i was looking forward to the most.
increase the look of any ride by tinting your windows
Here is the link to where i went to have my windows tinted:
PELTI Vitres Teintées
the owner of the business himself was one of the two guys who applied my tint.
i was unhappy with the tint on the left rear passenger window because it had a grain of sand between the glass and tint, so
he removed it completely and started over again on that window, this was by far the best service i have ever had at a tint shop.
plus the price was under my budget!
Here are the results

![Vehicle Automotive window part Windshield Automotive wheel system Glass]()
4 windows were tinted to 30% and the rear was tinted to 20%
DRAWBACKS:
cant open my windows for 2 hole days!!! OH NO! oh wait....... i have a sunroof
30 percent here in the 2 front windows is illegal but barely noticeable, an officer would have to use a tint meter in order to try and issue me a ticket.
if your looking for a before and after the pictures in my "garage" are un-tinted
