OT: finally im doing more to my car

ive started on a stereo. If you are a salesperson you can sell me anything. I just went in looking and walked out w/ a 700 deck. now i just need some speakers and amp and a few subs.....

anyways someone tells me to get tinted windows now? what do you think..my cars blue. everyone tells me black but i think like a blueish tint or something, any opinions!! what color?

Tints are a personal choice, obviously if you get the blue or silver tints they'll cost more, but personally they do look good. Now that you have a $700 deck I would personally [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] recommen an alarm too [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Upgraded the internal speakers, maybe an exhaust... They're a lot you can do to your car, all depends if you want show or go or sound...

I Just want show!! i know blue will cost me more, but i wish i could see what my car would look like first before doing it. ive seen some cars look good and some look bad with it. i saw a blue jetta with blue tint and it looked really good but his blue was a dark blue on his paint and he had like a darker blue tint....i dont know...someone photoshop my car with it or something.
i have an alarm but i need to get some more pins.. i can get into my trunk without the alarm going off. the sensitivity needs to be adjusted too. i need to upgrade the alarm. all i have is the deck though so its not like people are going to steal much. i only park at work, and at home in my garage. and when i go out i usually park on busy roads and we are in st cath here so its not like too many people are gonna be risky like that on a busy street...
i dont want exhasut my car is auto and it would sound really bad. im gonna finish it off w/ stereo this year and next yr do an intake and bosy kit and stuff. i got some debts i need to pay off

you can't really photoshop tint on a car...good attempt though flippedout...

I really think you should go for the dark blue mirror tint...however if you do decide to tint, make sure you get either 15% or 20% and all windows...

whatever you decide to do is up to you, black tint never fails though...

i think you should go black or mirror tints[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
those coloured tints look good.. but i think it's blinding when your in the car driving.... (not sure thought)
