To each his/her own.
Is this the part though where I feel slighted by the anti-red movement?
REDICULIOUS!
Needs more cowbell (red).

Looks dope man! Nice and clean. Not a fan of all the red accents on the Black Pearl Paint.

Could you please post a few side view pics of the front windows? I'm trying to decide between 25% or 35% on my PMM.

Jake,
Whatever you do, at least be aware of Ohio Tint Laws as tickets are $120 and it’s a misdemeanor (not the nicest single lady). Could save being pulled over maybe?

I’ve lived in 6 different states over the last 15 years and always had illegal tint (except current one cause Covid) and I’ve never been ticketed once. He’ll be ok lol

This may sounds like a dumb question but are your Ssr’s blue or black?

Welp.. not sure how it got to this point but somehow ended up with FBO pending my AWE touring + FP.

March:
Gramlight 57DR 18x9.5 +38
255/40 Indy 500
Flash pro
ZL1 Rock guards

May:
PRL Intercooler

June:
PRL HVI
PRL catted DP w/ cerakote

July:
PRL charge pipes
PRL Turbo Inlet
AWE Touring + FP (pending)

Learned a lot with a buddy of mine who also has no experience with cars until I got mine. Can say we did an alright job, things probably took longer than expected but it is what it is.

..What have I done? Lol. Things kind of snowballed.. only really planned on DP/IC and basemap.

I guess eventually, need a custom tune to tie everything together.

Live a little dude. As long as you obey the obvious laws and respect others. They'll respect you.

i appreciate the concern... but, i actually live in Indiana!

Sorry, was going by profile.

Slightly different thresholds in Diana, wait that’s not right, in Indiananana-banana-danna-fo-fanna, Indiana!:

Indy window tint laws excerpt:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 30% of light in. Back Side windows: Must allow more than 30% of light in. Rear Window: Must allow more than 30% of light in.

Bottom line is between COVID and public viz of events many popo (org wise and personally) are less likely to view tint alone as reasonable cause even though they could. Not saying drive stupid but I think many drivers might agree average speeds have gone up some in last six months with less stringent/consistent enforcement.

Also had the roof wrapped in gloss black over the weekend.

Looks good. Did it yourself?

Didn’t do anything as far as mods, but going to be taking the TypeR to the highest paved road elevation Road in the Rockies. US Highway 34 ? .... Drove from Boston to Cheyenne , and Saturday will make the drive back...... If no one has taken a long trip their FK8, I highly recommend it. She is a blast to drive across country !!!

Here is a pics from Wyoming below ;

OHIO: I’m running 15% all around in Ohio. Just go to the optometrist and get them to write you a note/prescription for sensitivity to light and glare and if you happen to get pulled over you can present to the officer. If the officer is a jerk present the medical document in court and it should be thrown out. I’ve had mine on since day 1 and have not been pulled over at all nor hassled by the tint being at a highly illegal level. It is definitely dark and easily noticeable it’s against the law level by anyone.

I actually do have this condition with my eyes but many of my friends do not and get the same notes and they have been successful when pulled over.
