Hmmm...id probably do tint. Save up and do springs when you can do it right. Panhard bar...etc.

Just my opinion though.

thats kinda what i was thinking. i was looking around on AM and they have a full FRPP suspension kit for like $1300-1400 which is probably what'll end up happening when the time comes.

i guess tint it is then. can't go wrong with the opinion of the prez!

I'll be the odd man out and say strut tower brace, I'm kind of surprised you don't already have one.

Tint, just remember NC only allows 35%. Wish we could go darker.

^ Agree as well. Tint was my very first mod. Make sure you go to a reputable installer. However, lowering would be my first choice if the cash is available to purchase all the components.

Just a quick question about tint. Does tint on the rear glass effect the use of the rear window defroster?
