OMG TINT [Archive] - Useless Forums

After the negroes stole my radio last month I figured that I should probably darken my windows so that what I have isn't as easily viewable. I decided to go 5% on the rear windows and windshield stripe, 35% on the doors. I wanted 20% on the doors but since any door window tint is illegal in IL, it probably would have gotten me pulled over all the time for being too dark. You couldn't have seen in at all, not even shadows during the day, so I did 35% just to play it safe. It's still dark, just not as dark. I think it looks great.

The bumper is getting fixed next month when the rest of my parts arrive, so don't complain that my shit is all old and busted, I don't want to hear it.

I dunno, I just saw it and liked it so I bought it. It was shiney. It's actually come in really handy more times than I can count so it's kind of a wash. Plus, I've always liked trucks.

So, actually, there is no real reason for me to have a truck at all, I just like it. It's rear wheel drive and gets me where I want to go in relative style and comfort. Not to mention that I have a general distaste for front wheel drive.

Yes, it's currently got a Hotchkis 2/3 drop on it and custom anti-roll bars by Quickor (who's now out of business).

A few months ago I met with a guy who's developing a custom one-off race suspension for the Dakota and should have that on my truck sometime in either April or May - for free. It's a really nice setup, and with the sponsorship deal we're working on it's going to be win-win for everyone. I'm very active in my local SCCA chapters here so it'll help get his name out, and I get a cool product for free, it's the best of both worlds. It's going to be really low though, the frame will be 3" off of the ground.

it lowers the center of gravity. I've always been into road racing (SCCA Solo II) and couldn't be competative at the stock ride height so I lowered it. Plus, it looks cool.

I think looking cool is all a perspective. Around here we make fun of people who lower there trucks, and usually call them redneck ricers. And 3 inches? You will barely be able to go over a freaking speed bump.

Believe me I've caught hell from most of my family at one time or another for lowering it. Over time though you get used to it and it seems normal. I don't go over speed bumps now, it's not that big of a deal. Besides, my dad's Z3 roadster is about 3" off the ground and he doesn't have any issues.

Just the other day I had 600 pounds of furnature in the bed of it, there was no squat at all. The only time I got any squat out of the rear was when I was loaded up with 1500 pounds of paver bricks.

I've got 20% on all four doors in my accord and 40% on the rear. If you have insurance that covers eye care go to a fly by night optometrist to get a little note that says you have sensitive eyes and need dark tint. :o
meh, i'm not that motivated. in IL though you can actually spraypaint your rear windows, and upper 6" of your windshield. The only thing they care about is the front 2 doors, and even though you're not supposed to have anything on them they usually let you slide. It's not a primary offence so you have to be doing something else to get pulled over.

are you referring to the bumper or the fact that I'm parked in the slight dip before the curb?

If it's the bumper, that's my ex girlfriend's fault. I let her borrow the truck and that was how I got it back. I spent the money she gave me on something stupid so that's why it's been like that for a year now.

If it's the parking in the dip, I only do that at home. I actually roll into my spot fairly slow in neutral and ease it into the dip. Everywhere else I usually leave 3 - 6 inches.

did that answer your question?
