Default 4 Q's

1. Does anyone have the Milltek resonated exhaust? Pros/Cons compared to Non-resonated? I know this makes it quieter but I also heard it robs a few HP's. This true?

2. Where can I get side mirros (just the mirrors) that are always blue? Mine are automatic which is ok but I like when they are tinted all the time.

3. Does anyone know the legal window tint limits in Pa?

4. I tried painting my lip spoiler twice, both times it comes out textured, not smooth. The primer always goes on fine, but once I get to the color coat, it always gets slightly bumpy. It doesn't look toooo bad but i'm picky. What am I doing wrong?

Sand the clear coat? Doesn't that make it even less smooth?

wet sand it with a realll fine grit sandpaper, and it does make it smooth....crazy eh?

just get 10 percent, nobody cares till you get pulled over

steal the mirrors, i believe you can get a set at www.dadsauto.com

and the exhaust, awesome...a resonator maybe..maybe takes 1 hp away...nothing noticeable.

Sand: final color coat or final clear coat or both?

BadLuck: Why does Pa have to be so f**ked up? Maybe I'll just print that out for if/when i get pulled over because of it. Generally speaking no one has had many problems with 35% tints right? I know that seems to be the most popular.

I have the Milltek exhaust. I like it. Come to the next get together of the Philly crowd and you can see and hear it.
