    Window tint? How dark are your windows?

    Just a general question out there for you folks, for the people that have tinted windows how dark are they? Do you ever get hassled by the cops in your local region?

For me in this climate the wind is pretty much always blowing. So doing a car...

    The paint on my exploder is complete garbage to say the least :( but at least now its glossy! Its to a point where i cannot polish it anymore because it just makes it worse. It has "crows feet" bad on every panel but thats another topic for a later time. I clayed, applied opti-seal on three...

    Paint issues with a 2011 Satin White Pearl STI, video/pics inside

    I did a quick wash, clay, sealant on a friends 2011 STI last week. While I was working on the hood we found these issues.
