        it's got a lot to do with the color of the interior too.

        If he does 50% all around, the tinting will be very un-noticeable as he has a light interior.

          climate control is worth the difference if it matters. I can leave my A/c on low now where as before i had to leave it on high and it never cooled off in 90 Georgia weather.

            AC drinks gas. Also reduces what little power I have in my eta anyway.

            Anyone have any pics of their tint on a car similar to mine in color and interior?

              looks good, next up has to be a manual swap though.

                  Yeah, I'd probably have to sell my socket 939 system in order to buy the manual transmission though.

                    Why go to all the trouble to replace the dash if you put another one in with a crack?? Why not just wait until you can find a perfect one and put it in there?

                      I've had this dash in the garage for a long time. It looks better than my old dash with like 5000000 cracks. I don't care for the perfect dash because I'm not concerned about spending a lot of cash on yet another dash.

                      On top of that I was kinda bored and I figured I'd attempt the swap.

                        Cool! Plus I guess it's good practice so when you get a nice one you don't have to experiment putting it in :D

                          Ha, its a bitch no matter if you have experience or not.

                          Well DAMN, my front drivers side sidemarker came out today. I knew it would cause I totally broke the mounting clip when I was installing the fender. Anyone have one for sale? I'll be posting a WTB thread.
