Thats a bit ambitious =D

And yeah, those tints may get you some fines very fast, depending on where you live.

Welcome to the ep community! Good pic-up, glad you're liking it so far. I think it would look better with a body kit/drop and wheels, then EDM HID projectors, and a motor swap... but you can make up your own mind on what you want! Remember, some of the cars on here have more money in parts on them than what they are worth to sell as a vehicle, so if you look around a whole lot you will always see your car as "not quite good enough"! I'm pretty much stock, and I want to do some work but I have to wait until I can justify the money as "recreational" money. Anyway, enjoy, and once again :welcome:

Where in NJ? I am near Philly. And as everyone said, that tint is big time illegal in NJ.

Do not get a new title for the car if that is what is being asked of you. You would be abetting a crime if you did.

Thanks again for all the compliments and ideas. My laptop has a virus so i have not been on here for a while. Driving the ep in the snow is actually fun lol. I have to check out the NE section so i can see if i can attend some of these meets.

Since nobody addressed his question, I will. For $300, racelands aren't too bad. I've had it for maybe.. half a year? Can't remember how long ago, but so far they've been good to me. But at the same time, I'm not planning to track my car for awhile, so I just opted for these mainly for appearance.

i'm personally a fan of wheels. i always like to turn some heads. gotta get an intake and exhaust for sure. then of course drop it :) but thats just my opinion.
