raz my dear - only thing I can comment on right now is with the window tinting (I'm sure I'll think of more later)

As far as the front two windows are concerned, some cops can be very picky about that. the RCMP actually made Pervy scrape off his tint on his front two windows...(he had limo on the back...and something lighter on the front...not obscenely dark though)

Just a heads up - its almost one of those 'is it even worth it to get the front done cause if the cops are having a bad day it comes off'

Taillights - plexilexi? jy? explain!

might leave the front windows entirely untinted :)

either i'd make "my own" tail lights outta princess auto parts and plexi glass, or just get "new" ones at the JunkYard :)

Ya I agree with the window tint, I would also have second thoughts about the "fire out tailpipe" :shock: cops would have a field day with that one too. But the rest sounds reasonable

Timing is going back to 0 mark and you usually have to take the timing belt off to make sure everything is dead 0, i need a new timing belt anyways.

Ill do that in a few weeks when im doing MS
