    ahhh, help! I can't decide if I should get a 70% UV tint next, or if I should get a Nexus 7(or similar) an set up and odb2 scanner with custom gauges. Help, I am on my way to this tint place to check their prices and products.

    Also, showing some love to the manuals this morning. That bag felt like it was going to last about another month. With the Velcro it magically seems roomier in there.

    Went with some Madico Winco's tint in the front(Automotive | Madico Window Films & Specialty Films), about 70%, and went with 3M CR60 (60%)(Crystalline Automotive Films - Clear automotive window film for cars, trucks - Crystalline - 3M US) for the back and hatch. The heat and IR reduction are awesome, I can feel a huge difference.

    Got it done at Sun Shield in Sherman Oaks. They had every kind of tint I could ask about and showed me lots of samples and asked me what features I want out of my tint, and I think they ended up getting me exactly what I wanted. Low key, block heat, IR and UV.

    So Sat, Nov 3rd I was driving into LA & was on the 5 South just passed the 14 when I saw what looked like a black Prius with red Valenti's. At first glance I could of swarn it was a PIP cause it had the satin silver hatch trim but as I passed it I noticed 10-11 fog lights. Is this a member here on the forum? I know u saw me looking cause we made eye contact. I was in the gray 2012 Corolla

    Where did you get the chrome door handles? Or are they one of the $20ish pairs all over eBay?

    I like them.

    Thanks Adam. I went with the darkest film all around except the windshield. The heat rejection on this film is amazing. I'm running 3M CS film on my wife's RX350 and can feel a noticeable difference between the two.

    I got a pair of those too... i'm just not sure how long they will last before they fade into just plastic. Then again, they are so cheap that we could just buy more to replace them :)

    I see the $80 pair on eBay too... not sure what makes them $80 though

    I had some issues with HIDs so I installed some philips crystal vision ultra halogen bulbs today. In the first shot, only the drivers side was replaced and in the second shot, both sides were done. The parking lights are white in person.

    Got rid of the amber back blinkers. Will do the front once my LED fogs arrive.
