Gettin the 2 front windows retinted tomorrow. Had to take em off for a dang ticket. :(

My tint guy asked me if I wanted to try tinting the tail lights cuz he has this new thick vinyl tint he wants to try out. So I get to be a ginny pig! Hooray lol I'll get some pics manana! Tint is gonna be a medium not too dark, not too light shade. Gonna also have em cut out the reverse light too! :D

Also, wondering about cutting of my stock reso. Any thoughts on this guys?! I have the MDS off and wouldn't mind a lil more sound. Will it be too much?! Thoughts much obliged ;)

Sweet thanks maing! They are def bright. I did a lil test strip w the lights on and they shined through perfectly. :)

Yea that's what I hear too! I usually stay in that RPM zone too and drone would bug. Good lookin out, thanks!! :thumbsup:

Gonna finally spray my rear step pad w some bed liner too!! Grey doesnt look bad on silver, but I want black again! :p

I was about to order one from DMH but I did a little more reading and found a bunch of stories about cutouts failing prematurely and DMH not honoring the warranty. But then there are guys who have been running a DMH for years without issue. I still want one, I just need to decide which one...

I ran a set of DMH cutouts on my GTO as my first mod. I did have two that failed but they honored the warranty no questions asked. Another good one to go with and you can find them on ebay is Badlands cutouts. They even make a nice low profile one. Lifetime warranty. Just be prepared to lose some backpressure and bottom end torque when open. They can also play with your AF/R's a bit which if running a custom tune I would be careful.

Dont cut the reverse lights, it breaks up the clean look, and that is barely even any tint, it wont make enough of a difference

Coop since we talked about it a while ago and I told you id look into it, the place we get our switches for the saguaro plate from sells blanks. For a whopping 1.35$ each lol
