Put coilovers on it. Dropped the ride hight about 1.5 inches. Did a intake mod for the turbo and aligned it with much negitive camber.
I have pics on the Legacy Forum about the the install. It was fun. www.legacygt.com
Check them out. You have to log in to see the pics though.

I'm looking to get my windows tinted. The quality of the shops can really vary around here so anyone have a recommendation for me in the Richmond area? It doesn't HAVE to be the cheapest around, I just want to make sure they do a good job.
Also, i'd like to have some new wheels and springs put on. Could someone give me a recommendation there too?
Please help!!!

Just to let you know I went to a few of the shops around town and the declined to tint my windows. First off because of the problems with tinting the back window. Second off the windows are already tinted and legally they can not even put the lowest level film on there without it going over the state law
I know there was one guy here on the forums that got his tinted a lot darker but I cannot remember where he went.

I thought they seemed like they were already tinted just a bit. Not enough to really be very noticable but not stock. I had read that the windows aren't tinted from the factory so I dismissed the possibility.
Anybody else have any recommendations for me?

It's hard enough to keep the rims from getting scratched during normal driving. I am super careful (after having to replace a rim after only having the car for two weeks) and last weekend I found a 2" scratch on the left front rim. Probably a pothole.

Glad you are OK. Is the rim just scratched or is it actually bent?

And funny thing, I was standing in the hall talking to a friend at work, and this guy heard me talking and told me that he had the same thing happen last night, in the same place, just on the other side of 64. It's right where all that construction is going on. So be careful!
