This is my car after getting it home today from having the suspension done. I just had the windows done with 50% tint. You really can't see it in this pic. Hope you guys like it.

I traded it in to get this one. I never really was in love with it due to the Tip. It's okay in my Avant cos' that's a work car/grocery getter, but a sports car needs a manual transmission to get me off.

that looks really good... do you have a picture so we could see it from the side to really get a good view of the rims and lowered suspension?

Clean, I am surprised that you can see the tint. 50 seems so light, is that the legal limit in your state?

Yeah... 50% is the legal tint in Ohio. I see lots of people running 35% or darker, but my night vision sucks, and I hate being hassled by the cops. It's dark enough for me.

ya i thought it was black the whole time as well... but ohio has a really strict time limit, but normally i think you can go darker in the back seats and rear windshield, or at least thats what i know a lot of ppl do here in atlanta, they do the legal % up front and then darker by 10 or 15% in the back and rear windshield

but the car looks clean and i like the rims you got on there

I could have gone darker behind the front windows, but I like a uniform look. I'm very happy with the tint. It looks classy.

no i agree with you... if you go much darker in the back then it just looks like the guy doing the tinting messed up and your car looks stupid.

Yes it is. It's an 03' 225 coupe.

Nice Rims and tires. what made you go for the 19's? what's a good price to spend? my friend has 17's and he didnt want to get 18's or 19's because he said the tread life wears down quicker... is that true?

I have never heard that, but I am not a tire expert. I love the handling of the short sidewall and the look is tough. The ride really isn't too choppy either. The setup I have now is pretty much as RS4 setup.
