The tint shops won't do it at all?

I didn't say that... :D . I just meant that I wish it was legal up here. When I moved up, I had tints all around on my Ac Legend ( I miss that car ) and I found a place that would pass my inspection with them on. I found a shop that will do my drivers and passenger side so that's my next stop. I like tints but I don't like them Limo black. Maybe in the back but not the front. I know I found a place in NY that would do my front windshield if I wanted. They do it really light but if you add that to the whole car being tinted, it gives it the effect of total darkness in the car.

So since I started this thread and never updated:

Yesterday I did the install by myself with one of those shi**y autozone spring compressors. But when you have your own impact wrench, air compressor, and a ton of other cool toys it all goes pretty smooth. I used the write up you guys gave me and it worked great.

I actually used the compressor on the rears and had no problem. I had to redo the driver rear once because it wasnt totally lined up but other than that everything went great. Still a little sore from the job but its worth it. Now ill let them settle in for a few days and then get an allignment. God im glad I didnt go with TRD springs...i would have been pretty unhappy.

Looks good, but what happened to your breaks?
And what's that blue tint on the front rims?
What springs?

The brakes...I was an idiot and painted them. That doesn't last too long in NH. I have to get some "real" brakes.
The blue tint is the reflection of my garbage can. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out.

Ah, I see.
I thought you has some iridium coat on your rims!
My painted breaks are holding up just fine, btw.

I think that the stock calipers look too small with these rims.
