New tint and exhaust tips
Hey, I recently updated the GTA. Tint was the first thing, went with 5% on the hatch, and 15% on the sides.

Its not even as dark as I thought it would be. I was worried I couldnt see anything at night. So i'm not dissapointed with it.
Also picked up some exhaust tips and got them welded up at a local shop. much better then the 2.5" tips, these are 3.5".

Thank-you for posting that pic. I also have a black GTA and wanted to tint it. Now I'm convinced.
I also had two exhaust tips until someone liberated one (who takes just one?) along with my sail panel emblems, but that's just me venting.
Anyway, the car looks great.

Looks great!
The other day when I went to get my inspection sticker, the guy made me roll my windows up to make sure I didn't have any tint. He said he couldn't give me a sticker if I had any, but he put the sticker on my windshield with a crack going all the way across!

I thought about taking off the mudflaps, car gets dusty anyway due to the little bit of gravel I drive on getting to or from home. I'm missing one on the passenger side front already. Yes I have thought about lowering it. Sportlines or something would look awesome, but the roads here are kinda rough, so I worry about scraping on everything. I'd rather start with some SFCs and other chassis/suspension things.
The sides are 2 shades too dark, but the back can be anything I believe, as long as I have both mirrors on the outside of the car. The shop just mentioned the sides being a bit illegal, and the hatch being difficult at night. Regardless, it's not as noticeable on a black car, compared to a white, or yellow one.
BTW glad you guys like it

B-E-A_utiful. I love the way both look on the car. I have the exact same mudflaps but Im not taking them off because they arent too bad looking and save the paint big time.
