I had the rear back three windows tinted to look factory. Looks wicked. So glad I decided to eventually get it done.  Sets off the black paint with the metallic pop.

Next mod....who knows....I've starting to save for the next three or four!!!

Once ive finished detailing it in the morning I'll get some photos up....it's in the garage covered in autoglym high gloss finish over night....quick wipe off in the morning and then SHINEY!!! =)

Went factory tint....not too dark...just enough for it to be obvious. Medium in the grand scheme.

Took the Mk5 to Revo HQ for some tweaks to the map/settings, to say it's made a difference is an understatement   :notworthy: :driver: :driver:

Not sure what percentage tint I'e got. The tint company gave me the choice of light / medium / dark. I went for the medium and got the desired effect.....washed, polishedm, waxed.....an now.....

Possible on my Leon?  :innocent:
Anyone?  :drinking:

Not sure, check with these guys if you haven't found out yet if this is possible or not. I'd imagine so as long as the connections for the lifts, and the threads for the posts are alike. http://www.ecstuning.com/ES1895197/?utm_source=Youtube

Got back from Italy a couple of days ago. Took it out of kill mode and drove it :laugh:. It really sucked driving a diesel Fiat :sick: for most of the two weeks.

Question for anyone - Have you driven in Roma and are alive today to tell about it?
I didn't drive while in Rome for 4 days of the 2 weeks. Thought we were going to die every time we climbed into a Taxi though.

Also, I spotted a new VW Golf Cabriolet at a Rome dealership. Was kinda HOT looking because the one I seen looked lowered. Definitely better than the EOS!
