I can guarantee that 5% tint all the way around will look AMAZING. My friend has a white 84 TA with 5%, and wow it made just an amazing difference on his car.

Like said above, a bowtie grill would look killer, they are only 52 bucks from classic industries.

hood fits real nice. Just have to tweak it a bit, which I will do when I get the nose touched up (%@## curbs)
Hood is painted flat black underneath.
As for the headlight buckets, i painted them (and the whole car) so I wouldn't have them black

I wouldn't get 5% tint If was you. My new RS has 5% and I can't see out the side windows at night. I have to role them down. I have 35 on my other RS and it is fine. but if you care going to go darker than the legal limmit I would do 15 or 20%. just my oppinion

5% is a great tint choice, because it is great for when you don't want people looking in......but as mentioned they are a pain to see through at night

5% does look aweseome , tint is something that makes a car look better too. I cant wait to get everything ready to get my hatch tinted. 5% will be the coolest.

I agree, it will difinantly look awesome. just makes it a little hard to see sometimes. but if that doesn't bother you. go for it . It gives your car a much meaner look I think.

Yeah, I don't know if you can really tell, but my back window is already 5%. Impossible to see out of at night....but I'm used to just looking for headlights there. This has taught me to rely on my side mirrors more than most, so smoking out the side windows not really an option. they already have light tint on them. I'm going to darken it soon...maybe 15% -20%. tint + white car = good

You should try and use some touchup paint on hte front spoiler. Even if it is just temporary it will look better.

Stupid dodge ram trailer hitches. I am going to get it airbrushed in a couple weeks. Paint is the expensive part because my paint has a subtle blue pearl in it.

83'bird - vanfbody has been fairly busy lately. get on there
