Well, I'm not going to put money into this motor... might as well make it look purty.

There are only a few things left to do with my car and then I'll be done.

I can not live without tints, I had 0% all the way around on the suburban, but that was overkill. I have 10%s now and they are perfect. As for the windshield, unless you are doing illegal actives and really don't want to be seen I don't recommend it. I had a 40% on my windshield in the suburban, and if you have good HIDs and on a lit road there is no problem. The problem comes when your on a dark road, you can't see what is not lit brightly by the HIDs. And living in Oregon I would imagine there are more dark roads then lit roads.

Wouldn't 0% just be black spray paint?

Lol you couldn't see in with your face and hands up against the glass. It's the tint they use on limos. It was stupid, but it saved my a** a couple times when I was stupid myself.

Unless I stumble upon money for a motor build, I'm not going to waste $$$ on stupid I/H/E junk, it's not worth it.

I have some parts to put on and things I want to do, but the major stuff is probably done.

in about 30k miles I'll probably buy an engine and start lightly building/rebuilding it, swap it in, and call it a day. The car has NO RUST, so I plan on driving it for quite some time.
