no problem man. Although I do notice an odd ripple affect when under yellow street lights.. But it's fine in the day.. Maybe it just takes a long time to settle onto the glass.. But it's awesome in the day

I got my tints at Best Image in San Mateo. Did 5 windows for $120 with life time warranty and they did a really good job :D.
Ayo Superhypered what did you do with the exhaust shrouds? Did you just spray paint them? And would you need to do a primer coat, couple black coats, and a clear coat? lol i have all these materials just need to know the process. Much appreciated :D

lol i used a semi gloss spray paint, and i probably did, i dunno... 2 or 3 coats. it was spraypaint that bonded to plastic btw. no high temp paint, unnecessary
now if you're too uneasy about painting that kind of stuff, i can do it all for you, at no charge.. except you bringing your car over
and heres the difference with before and after painting
pretty big difference if your plastic parts are dirty/faded
oh and i finally got stealth markers

I have clear corners but im using amber bulbs cuz white or blue lights are illegal in CA. Im thinking of switching it to a white bulb and im wondering if any nor-cal 8 owners are getting ticketed for having white light?

nvm. excuse my ignorance. i looked it up. Looks like white bulbs on sidemarkers are okay

well, within that law, it doesnt even include the side markers, because they are just lights that go on when you turn your lights on, and they never flash, so its no big deal
btw neon underglow is legal.. dont let the cops tell you otherwise, they just dont like it

yah thats what i linked to you. the square bulb with leds on the sides. i would stay away from rotaryfx. not saying their stuff is bad because i honestly dont know. never bought from them. v-leds is a lot cheaper for a good quality bulb.
