Q50 Red Sport 400 RWD
Dyenboy--can you post some more (clearer) pics--I am trying to see If I should get the full aero kit--sometimes I like the sleeker unpainted profile--other times I like the painted side sills. I am not sold on the rear under spoiler
-the stock version looks smoother and less tacked on. I think I would get the aero bumper and side sills and paint the rear sill--what do you think about that--ok--or is that "look" missing something? When you see my car does it look "unfinished" to you? (b/c lack of full aero)?

Anyone tried it?

I don't know about the metallic tint and the antenae(sp?), maybe someone with the metallic tint can chime in on that.

Looking for a place to tint my windows. Trying to find a professional (clean) shop to get it done right. Don't just want any tint shop because they could dirty up the inside with their carelessness.

I got 40% Huper Optik tint applied on the rear windows on Friday (3/18). One thing I've noticed is that visibility through the back window is not as clear as I would have expected. It seems that the rear defrost and antenna lines on the back window are much more visible through the tint, and visibility is distorted, especially at night.
Have anyone noticed the same thing on your car?

Blantant plug for a tinter in Vegas. Desert Customs on Valley View. All the guy does is tint. He has been doing it for 25 years. Fast, professional, and a damn nice person. He works mainly by referrals. He backs his work 100%. Any issues and he will fix promptly and without charge. Got my G done for < $150. Took about 45 minutes. He had done several coworkers cars and they all still look great several years later. Everybody I know who has used him has been really happy with his work. If anyone want his number, let me know I'll look for his business card. It's somewhere around here...
