A grip of people asked for pics. They also asked for videos, but I dont condone street racing so I'll refrain from those

I'm going to add a 1.25 inch spacer to the rear to space it out. For now, I wish to have a "stock" look. I'm also pulling the tints off of my car soon.
I finally got my turbotimer working. No more waiting in my car to cool it down haha. Right now, my car is boosting at 6 peak and its flyingg. 230 torque to the wheels, 220 wheel hp.
I'm picking up bigger injectors by December, so hopefully I can pick up 10-20 more wheel hp.

I'm not the best photographer so yeah... And lammy, I'm picking up the steelies for you on Sunday. I had no space in my car last week due to all my junk.

Big thanks to Gene for the work... Big thanks to Lammy for his generosity.

Peach, I really gotta see your car. When are you meeting Lammy? I'll see if I can come, at Lammy's place in San Diego is good.

A tint shop will sweat the film off. Involves a sunny day, a garbage bag, and soaking the film from the inside with soapy water then placing the bag over the film. The film should peel off about 45 minutes later.

Or a less ghetto tint shop will use a steamer to do exactly the same thing in a lot less time.

All very nice...except I don't see your cup of Orange Bang.

What the hell? You mean to tell me you don't drink the best orange beverage while taking pictures of your car? For shame...

I have never seen anyone use a steamer (good to know, I guess). Plus, 45 mins was an estimate it's not an exact timed procedure.

I tinted windows part time during college and a lot of places that I knew of here in Colorado used a garment steamer to basically "sweat" off the film and most of the glue. Any residual glue is carefully scraped off using a good old razor (not using the sharp edge and always going vertical not horizontal).

Depending on how old the tint was and the size of the window(s) it took anywhere between 15 minutes for a small car to close to an hour for an Expedition.
