well does the window annoy you constantly, or do you want to get more pefromance, pretty easy decision I think.

Do it in order of what really needs to be done. If i was in your position my list would be something like:
1/ Spell checker
2/ Tints
3/ Exhaust

Tint... Do the things that your going to benefit from. An exhaust is only going to put you outta pocket from tyres, speeding fines.

how is an exhaust going to give excessive wear on your tyres and automatically give you speeding fines? Do tints slow your car down and make it park its self too?

I may have been exaggerating a bit, but as with every p-plater, an exhaust turns your car into a sports car. You always wanna hear the noise.

Get the tint, it'll make your car look nicer.

No offence LG but there is one thing I cant stand is a exhaust blearing from a P-platers car but a shmick tint job on a clean machine will always get more respect. But , if you do an exhaust tastefully , it can be a sweet thing. I cant stand Droning exhaust. I got a mandrel bent 2.5" straight throught mufflers with a 2.5" high flow supercat. no drone there. go the windows if you cant see out them!!

Default ROFL waffles!

I voted for neither.

Buy a coin or obtain one from somewhere, and toss it. Before doing so, nominate each face of the coin to favour the respective options you have in your poll. If the coin lands on its side, then you too should vote for "neither"!

Let us know how u go ;)

I reckon you should buy some beer, and then pull the tint off (FREE) just use a hair dryer. Then you could stop typing in bold text and spend the change on a dictionary. :P
