Couple of questions



1) What % is the factory tint? I live in nc 32% is legal. I think the factory tint is no where near that.

2) Is the JBL system worth the extra$1000?

3) Is it bad to get the allseasoned tires instead of the performace? Mainly wife would be
driving car. 24000 miles is pretty low mileage on tires.


Thanks,

Visible light Penetration of factory windows is ~70%. Sunroof is 20%.

The JBL is only $750. Don't work off MSRP unless you are extremely dense. Much better than the std. unit.

All season would be better for wear and wet, cold weather traction.

1) White, Black, or Silver
2)If you're gettin leather get darker tint or you'll fry your ass. (Extra Crissspy)
3)Hell ya its worth it. Believe me.
4)Depends on if you're gonna by rims afterwards.
5)No it won't look funny. Lighter in the front, darker in the back.

Any color but baby blue works for me

If your getting the 4Cyl, then I would get the all-seasons if you live in a place where you get snow. I had the all season tires with mine and they work fine, but if you try to launch it, even a little, the tires will spin like crazy.

I live in Northern VA and went with the All Seasons on my V6. After seeing so many posts about others needing to replace the performance tires so quickly, I am happy with my choice.

5) Does it look funny to put different % of tint on each window ? As far a darker on the rear windows than the front?

Thanks,
CBD
5) I like the same % tint all the way round.

Blue Ribbon, but like any other dark color it shows dust almost almost immediately. Thats why I chose a light color.

I have a red SE and I love it. I think white, black, and whatever the dark gray/charcoal color is called look nice as well. But I still like my red the best.
