Yea, the tint is dark, but not too bad. Any suggestions that would make my ride look better. Im thinking about painting the headlight housing black.

Not sure what the drop is, but Bilsteins HD are the ways to go.

I'm riding on NF210's with KYB's... it feels comfy but handles much better... KYB's are pretty good for moderate drops but the KSport drop is a full 2inches.. there is going to be some sacrifice in ride quality there.

looks good so far. one suggestion to you is use photoshop. get some good pictures of your car and learn to use photoshop. saves a lot of money being able to see things first before buying and testing. that is some super dark tint. good luck can't wait to see where you take this
