UPDATE:

Solar Guard Tint- 20% Front, 35% Rear (over Privacy Glass)

Note: FYI 35% Solar Guard Tint over the factory privacy glass matches perfectly with the 20% in the front.

There was not a straight answer for this when I searched the topic.

Sorry for the photo quality! I will re-snap some in better light later.

Yeah,
That looks unreal with the new tinting. Overall very nice looking ride.

Weird isn't it? When you think about how much change a good set of rims and a few well done basic mods can do to a vehicle.

Thanks,

How true it is. The two most important changes you can make to your car is paint and wheels.

It's like a whole new car with just tint and new wheels.

I have read about using a "resistor" in place of the 5W bulbs to bypass error messages when a bulb is not present.

Where the heck do i get a resistor?
you may have to PM LightWerkz, i think hes done it to his X...

i also have extra exhaust trim for 3.0, you can pick it up anytime here in NJ...

- Blue AE's from EuroFX lighting ($50 dollars, cant complain.)
- Better tint pics

looking good!

i wish i had the opportunity for a black X

ps. since doing a full exhaust change to the 4.8 style is ridiculously priced, you should at least get the chrome or black exhaust covers...make a huge difference!

Replica, of course since OEM only comes in 20"
