Thanks to all for the kind words.

The tint is 70% Sun Gard "Light Blue" (reminds me of the OE tint on the new Mercedes cars, but a bit darker).
So far, NO problems with the CHP.
Plus, the chicks can finally see in (the old tint was 5%- had been "interviewed" one too many times by the CHP).

Yes, the wheel & tire combo will be for sale- or the wheels without the tires. The tires are new Yokohama AVS Sports with about 2K miles on them. The first set went 39K miles!!!! New wheels are on the horizon... then widebody & re-paint in January...


Henry is right, the rear offset is quite aggressive- I would call it a "professional" fitment, but it DOES look bad *** with the 3.5" lip! It would be a slam-dunk on an SC430, though....

It appears the wheels already have a new home? Some lucky person with a SC430?
