well, you should do tints bish. But privacy glass sounds even better though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

now how the fuck would i know how to do the doors?

 
I probably wont do rims for a while though, unless you can get me rims and tires for 400 bucks :p

For now it will wait. I wish my cousins hushand didnt sell his civic with the rims, i could have used those and gave him my stock ones. woulda been win win for the both of us

400? lol, it's hard to find rims by themselves at that price

you're nowhere near being black
don't knock it till you try it

 
Came across an issue just now. I wanted to hide the tweeter behind the a pillar. The mounting depth of the tweeter is fine but the grill cover is curved so it extends out. I can't figure out a way to mouth the tweeter from inside either so that it stays stable. I thought about mounting to the frame, but the frame is angled and if I were to mount it so that it's not angled, it would be hitting the a pillar and sticking out.

I think what I'm going to have to do is this

I guess my concern is the way the tweeter is pointing. I'll take pictures so you guys have a better understanding of what I'm talking about and can possibly provide suggestions.

 
It would be aiming down like this and I assume that would mess with imaging.

I would have to extend it out quite a bit and it would hit the pillar and would probably extend out the hole that I cut out for it. Plus once the grill cloth that goes over the entire pillar is put on, it will look as though there is a little bump, and it might be better to just top mount the tweeter over the pillar.

Here is the gap.

The pillar is slightly angled pointing down, but not nearly as much as the frame, so I think I would be fine with that. Any suggestions?

 
Not sure about the tweets, but back to the tailights, did you see the pics i photoshopped for you? I think that medium tint would look best on your green. If you think 5% would be too dark, I would do 20% (I went with 20% on my back 3 windows too, because Mustangs already **** for vision out back) and then 35% on the fronts if you want. This would give everything on the car a nice smoked look. Check around craigslist and ebay for cheap rims/tires. Your bolt pattern is 4x114.3 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif.

 
Thanks for the bolt pattern info.

And yeah i was thinking about NOT doing 5% on the rear and going a shade lighter because I drove my old car which had limo tint in the back and i thought someone messed with the rear view mirror. Turned out the tint was just dark...And i'm thinking a medium tint on the lights too.
