Default My New RS 1.0 TC, Tints done!

I just bought this last week, i got it for 18,190. Not bad i thought. This car is awesome and brecks necks everywhere i go. I got some before and after pics of the tints, i got 5% all around except for the windshield, just got a strip. I need some suggestions on which headlights i should purchase, looking for something white and white with a blue tint. I also got the S2000 attena yesterday from the honda dealership. that was 27 bucks, couldnt wait on shipping from ebay so i bought it right away. I also have B-Pillars coming in, the speical edition ones to match. Hope you enjoy the pics.

how's the top of the rear window looks? did it stick to the defrost lines well?? im thinking about tinting mine, but i just dont want it to look bad... its seems like every car i've had tinted, they've never been able to get it to stick to the top of the rear window....

I'm getting mine tinted this weekend (too bad only 50% is legal here)

My question is about the strip on the windshield. I really want to get the strip done, but if I recall correctly, window tint doesn't stick very well to that black dotted coating that we have around the rear view mirror.

Is your tint cut around that, or does it stick just fine the way it is?

Niteridr75-

Two things that are IMPERITIVE...

1)Where your thing says "future scion owner"... you need to change that to flaunt that you have an RS1.0
AND
2) Have your ### of #### in your signature.

That tint looks great!

Headlights: I really dig the stock bulbs (not so much how they look to other people, but how they look when driving, they're fuggin bright)

If you must change them, I'd suggest Sylvania Silverstars, or if you want to spend more, maybe PIAA.. or if you want to spend even more:

Are your rims the dark rs1.0 rims or are they lighter gunmetal? They look like the standard enkeis. I'd be ____ed if they switched them....

Nice tint.

I just got mine done yesterday too. I got 35% front (damn Texas laws), and 20% back. The guy that installed mine wouldnt go to the top of the rear window, but he is ordering a black vinyl sticker to finish the job. I was also thinking about tinting the sun roof because its a little light, but i havent decided. Has anyone done this???

The top of any screen when you're signed in, the grey box that says "Profile" Click that, and then the link that says "Add/Edit your Registry" or something like that. Click that and fill your info out. It'll change your little icon.

Play around with the profile screens and you'll see how to change your signature and everything else.

Now if only I could figure out how to make an avatar..lol
