Ok so I have a 2005 FXT and I'm looking to mod it. I'm looking at anything such as upgrading the exhaust sound, wheels, sound system, etc. Just let me know what you recommend. If you have any pictures of any of the mods on your car, post them!

+K For helpful responses of course.

I got rear ended by a Suburban a few months ago in the white 04 (pictured above). Side Note, if you're ever rear ended make sure the police come out. They didnt, and even though she admitted fault.. State Farm was not pleasant to work with and barely paid the lein on the 04. Anyhow, Here's the new one, in winter mode. Got a great deal on it that I couldnt pass up.

They don't make a manual xt limited in this year.
I didn't care too much for this body style before, but love it now. Def not momish on the inside. Flossy for sure. Haha!

Thanks man! And some Drags I bought off a friend after he totaled his car. I figured I'd help him out since he needed money and the wheels are brand new with brand new tires.

Colorado is pretty much the same, with 27% all around being the legal limit. I had 18% and never had an issue. I doubt cops outside of California write many tint tickets.

Also, this is very important, make sure you tell them to take the film all the way to the windows edge as you see it from outside the car. Some places will do a shoddy job and leave a half inch gap, it's not an issue on most cars, but 02-07 imprezas have frameless windows and you will get an ugly line that's visible from the outside.

I dont mean to start shit, but why the fuck is tint and wheels the first thing on everyones list of things to do? I mean I understand if you just want your car to look cool, but there are so many better parts to spend it on.

if you have a black car with no tint, the fishbowl effect will destroy you in the summer. and as far as what tint, the guy that does my tint does the police officers' cars and PO officers' cars in utah, and what they all get is 5% back and back windows, %20 front (which is illegal, but not bad). if you want so you cant see in, %5 all around on a hatchback, %20 all around on a coupe, %5 all around and %50/%35 windshield if you want it so theres no chance of seeing in (very illegal, cops get upset when they cant see in through the sides, but then cant see in through the windshield either) though usually only state troopers care about tint, locals dont have tint measurers.

Selling a catback. It's a greddy tic tapered midpipe and a turboxs rfl exhaust. It mates to the stock downpipe. The midpipe was cut down so the length of the catback matches stock. Buy up!

just a question here, i think that stanced cars and coils and upgraded rims and whatnot look really good, im just baffled by the fact that this is a skiing website. how the fuck do you get up to the mountains with like a 2 inch clearence? i saw at least three slammed subies stuck or slipped on the highway up to breck today, i just dont get why skiers think that they are even close to a practical choice

Wealth can mean anything from having an entrepreneurial mindset to the satisfaction of one's quality of life. Yes, it can be viewed upon as pretentious, but so can "Illest" and "Billionaire Boys Club."

that is the weakest argument ive ever heard, youre comparing yourself to brands that in the same post you are calling pretentious.
