Seriously, if you are going to tint, spend the extra money and get the ceramic tint. It looks better and will not interfere with any internal electronics: ie; radar, satellite radio, etc.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.

Yeah. That's what we put on my wife's car. I was very pleased with that transaction. That doesn't happen very often.

Again... how did he tune it and not notice that your car had a vacuum leak big enough to melt a piston? If he had ever done one before I would think he would notice that something wasn't right?
