    The steering wheel itself cost $100 but the shipping is too much.

    If anyone is around Fort Knox Ky I would be willing to install springs and other suspension mods at 1/4 of what other business would charge. I've done several jeep lifts. Prius plus spring and springs on my son's focus.

    Can you post a pic of your headlights tinted pls? I briefly considered telling the shop to do them too but was uncertain of how much it affects the low beams?

    I posted it awhile back. But here is the picture. They tinted my DRL and headlight for $69.95. They did a real good job. You can't even tell. I rather do headlight then taillight since it fade later on. If your considering doing it. Do it clear. Any other color you might get a fix it ticket.

    That looks awesome. Thanks for posting!

    But what do you mean by tinting it clear? Doesn't that defeat the purpose if not using any tint and just using a clear plastic cover?

    The tint shop said the light tint for the rear tails is almost pointless and you can barely see it and said I should get the darker tint for the tails. It's not the real dark ghetto tint though as I had him bring out a stip and slap it on and press the brake pedal so I could see what it would look like. Not bad at all. We shall see Tomm.

    I never considered the DRL lights! Might have to have them hook that up too....

    I tint it clear because I park my ride mostly outside. I don't want it to fade the color 5 years down the line. Unless you thinking of sanding your headlight when it turn yellow or buying new headlight. Not only that. If you spent $75 already. Should have bought the Valenti Tail light. It's all LED. Most of the members hear have them.

    Gotcha guys, thanks and I appreciate the info. Thing is I can possibly hide slightly darker tail lights and the missing $75 bucks from my CFO. $300-$400 not so much. Lol.

    I'm sure you all understand. ;)

    In case you all weren't keeping track I managed to get her car tinted thus making her happy and then slid mine in for some extracurricular activities along with the passenger window tint redo! :)
