Thanks jay,  ive been putting off the window tinting for a while now.
you reckon 15% ive never had a car tinted before so ill have to take some suggestions on board.
still dissapointed in myself for not washing the car before turning up there, thinking it was going to rain and all. damn melbourne weather fooled me once again.
 
cheers

15% VLT looks pretty dark, having had to strip off tint for the authorities before, 35% VLT is legal. But I guess do what you think you can get away with. FYI I applied SW20 pre-cut tint from the states myself in 35%, turned out pretty good with the right tools (not as good as a pro lol) and you can still see great at night.
 

ok ill aim for 15% then, should i do the targa panels as well?? i wanted to get the mr2 logo on the rear side/quarter windows from SRK how will that go down with tint ??

The general consensus from professional tinters I've spoken to wont do the targa glass. They said it MAY cause the glass to heat up too much and crack since they know how much those panels are new lol. HOWEVER
I'm thinking about doing mine with reflective tint myself, similar to some of the AW11s with factory reflective tint.
 

/\ thanks man, yeah i looked for ages to find the wheels i have on my car they are not the best cosmetically and not the lightest either  and i have thought about changing them a few times for something else but somehow ive always been drawn back to how they look on the car. i think sw20s look good with some nice dished 5 spokes.
 
and yeah were part of the aeroware lip mob, the underside of mine looks like a cheese grater now lol.
 
ps - theres a few guys in the states now looking to pull of the same look like us, everythign the same except they have greddy skirts, ive posted some pics of the PP rear for them to compare with other brands (greddy, bomex etc) so they can make up their mind.
believe me i had a lot of trouble and spent hours searching for a stock 90-91 winged sw20 with greddy skirts and aeroware lip thats had PP rears, i didnt find one but came very close (greddy lip).
 
cheers

yeah i have the targa top shades, i dont use them except in summer when i get roasted. they let quite a lot of light into the car which i like. guess i can leave them on where they belong.
 
Hmm didnt think of that car of the month, might give it a crack soon thanks for that.
cheers

THE LIP is scratched underneath, but if you looks really carefuly from certain angles, on your knees or trying to get some tricky shots, you can just make it out. i have some extra paint that i got from the panel shop so a small touch up in the right places will fix that
if your riding low its going to happen eventually. i have speed bumps on my street and have to crawl over them everytime the car comes out. 
 
The equips were bought locally, db8 and gorilla have some.
mine are 17x8, 9 +35 offsets.
the rear has a 5mm spacer on it, the front i havent put it in yet cause i cant get the jack underneath the car in the front.
spacers are for when the coilovers are fitted cause my tire has a rim protector which just hits the coilovers.

Man i just looked at what the commotion was all about.  That is fresh!!  It's such a clean look, love everything about it.  Very well done!  :)
