Default 1 more mod done, one more tommorow

Got my panel filter today!!! 85 dollars and its a new K&n

Makes a nice difference higher in the rpm range, my car used to hit a spot around 5 where itd stop making as much power, which could be seen on pieoters dyno graph aswell. feels like its helped that out a bit

Get my tint tommorow from altapac, very dark :P but not quite as dark as timmehs tint. should be nice

I just picked my car up from altapac, very very impressed, they even replaced door clips that i had snapped :P
my car has a total of 20% tint now ... got a 25% metallic black film but i was told the standard glass tint would bring it to 20%.

couldnt be happier.

i ordered it through a local place called Rampage. you can order them in through supercheap or autobarn too but it like me, you will have to wait about 2 months for it

Likewise. I guess us Focus drivers aren't so ugly that we need to stop people from seeing into our cars during the day for risk of scaring them :hihi:

Something along those lines........ py: :.

Nah, 35% is good enough for me. Its not as dark as I had hoped for, but its a better choice because I can still see quite clearly, and it doesnt give plod any reason to come after me. Round here they will find anything wrong.
