Agreed, expect I like to keep it legal at about 35%. I really just want to drive this car and feel the joy that Ford gave us for a while.My first mod will be 20% tint all around. Most likely nothing more until I learn the car and what it needs.
From what I've found in NY you can tint the side windows but you can only go to 30% and you can't use a metallic or mirrored coating. What kind of undercoating are you planning on getting?Probably undercoating and tint. In NY we can't tint the driver's side or passenger's side front windows. you either risk it and get a fix it ticket or go without.
I understand that for law enforcement, dark windows are a safety concern but I think it ruins the flow to not have the front windows tinted.
As such, I might just do the rear window and a sun strip on the front windshield.
All of this. I believe you cannot do anything mechanical without voiding the warranty so it will stay stock for awhile.Tint, weathertechs , powder coat wheels, wheel locks, de-badge "focus" on rear hatch.:thumbup:
I doubt that I will want to tune the stock car (unless for an intake, which would void warranty). With WRX/STIs you could squeeze out some extra HP with a 93 octane map but the main reason was to smooth out the power band. The turbo in those cars is like a trigger switch.I've been told that Ford can tell now if you've tuned the computer so I don't plan on tuning it until the warranty expires, if at all.
3M or XPEL? Does the 3M yellow with age?I plan on tint, clear bra right off the bat. The last 5 cars I have owned have had the clear bra on them. I can't wait guys!!!
