Factory Xpac. As for the paint options, yea i thought so too but i got it in starfire pearl so i guess it must be a 07 option. From what i hear too hawaii is a bit different in our choices, it seems Servco deals with japan direct(?). Like a seperate entity from north america I think...

Yea here is ALOT of trucks too, but for the IS all I've noticed so far here is black.

Looks good even with just your RAZR. A lot of people tint the back darker than the sides. I guess you want to keep it legal in the back, then just roll down your windows while driving. Heck this theory doesn't work coz it looks like you tinted the front windshield too. How much did you do the front?

The reason for the back legal is for saftey check in hawaii, a once a yr inspection. I go to 'uncles' shop for mine so its ok but every so often he loses his inspection lic. so i have to go elsewhere. This way i can roll down the sides and pull the fuse so when i go they can only test the back. There is no rule/law that says the side windows have to work after all.

As for the front, due to alot of posts here about ppl having problems with their rearview mirror FALLING OFF, i figured i'd leave the front alone, the less they touch around there the better.

looks really good. dont think the front is tinted guys. its the angle and the light at time of pic. his side windows are pretty dark so this is also contributing to how the front looks. i have taken a few pics from differnt angles and for some reason when from the front they do look 10 times darker then if taken from the back. would assume becuase you have the light coming into the car from the front so you can see thru it better???

Any how looks really good if you ask me!
