Hmmm...looks pretty good. Looks like a small SUV to tell you the truth. What % of tint you got on there? The tint looks fantastic.

Llumar AT-R 15% on the back 3 and 35% on the front 2. My buddy and I did it in the dark in his garage. Good thing he has 15+ years experience with this stuff. Turned out flawless.

I used to have a Matrix and loved the utility of it and handling. Sold because it was an auto and I got bored just steering the car instead of driving. xD is a good alternative considering my fixation on audiobooks and standard iPod integration that the car has. 33+ MPG does not hurt, either.

Also what the advantage of having 18's instead of 17's? More rims to choose from?

Today I got my car back from Tanabe and I have the... NF springs on my car. Lowered it around 1" all the way around. Though my bf noticed that the rear wheels seem to tilt in on the top. Any way to correct this for my tires sake?

Hey! Thanks for letting them test your car! Did you happen to know the part wil be released by Tanabe? I wanna get aftermarket springs sooo bad..

Hows the ride with the NF? do you have any pics of your car lowered?

Yea I have a pic, I can't really tell but I'm sure you can haha. LINK

I would've liked to have gotten a manual buuuut I don't know how to drive it.

Wheels = money lol. Right now I'm sorta between jobs. Meaning I have two jobs but not enough work and I'm looking for a new one but not having any luck. ;(

Plus I don't know what kind of wheels to look at to get or what. Oh well. I'll probably change the wheels when I need new tires.

ps - sorry for the thread hijack. =\
