Didnt u read that sport compact car reveiw on different wheel sizes and their effect on handling, acceleration, and top speed?

Im sure they way just a bit more than stock but the engines' gotta push more rubber to make it go=less go

I just tinted my car 20% on the sides and used the static cling tint on the back. Looks great, very uniform in color. The car is black so I figured the windows should be too. As for driving with the top down, that only happens 1/2 the year and my car is driven everyday. So I needed the privacy.

I tinted my back window over 16 months ago with the static tint. It not only helps keep the car cooler in the summer, but prevents the plastic from getting scratched and hopefully discolored like my brother's Miata plastic window.



I have a pattern for the window and it can be installed in less than 5 minutes if the window is already clean. It also reduces the distortion crease that occurs when the top is folded.



Also, I have found the privacy issue has certain advantages if the top is up too.



Anyone wanting more info on the static tint can PM me

i knew someone wouls say something to that effect....*btw, she looks kinda young, but heck, i shouldn't talk... "



I had mirror tints on my car. It made it look so much cooler. mine was 30% so it wasn't that dark, but it is sure nice especially when you have the top up, people look at you, but can't see you making faces at them for staring at you...
