but what happens when ur using ur high beams all the time and u need more light? cuz ur high beams will only equate to ur regular lights without blackouts and then all they pretty much do is kill ur lighting.

Fog lights, they work great. Though my headlights aren't that bright the way they are, so I wouldn't stick a blackout in front of them, plus I took the foglights off.

Black outs look cheesy IMHO.

Fog lights might block a very small percentage of air (like 2%).
About 80% of the air our radiators see comes from under the car, thats why the air dam underneath is so important.

I've tinted the front windshield before, but the upholders of the law (COPS) didnt like it too much. So now I just got half of it tinted.
The whole windshield tinted looks soooo good, you have to see it to appreciate it. Really light though, like 35%.
