Left 'em all parked today, didn't need to go anywhere, so I got the Warner-Gear overdrive bolted into the '37 and called it a day.

I run the same tires on my HHR and my Malibu. No problems, great tire.

I'm leaning toward Canuck motorsports drop springs myself. Make sure to post some pics and what you think about them once you have them installed.

Just got done getting really dirty...siliconed and plugged the holes where my roof racks used to be. I think it should be successful, if not, I may just have to deal with a leaky roof.

No strips needed, you gotta Heat Shrink the film. You cut your pattern on the outside of the glass, heat shrink it to Form Fit the glass.

The outside glass area is alot bigger than the actual piece needed inside the glass for install, setup a Halogen type shop light inside facing out the glass so you can See the inside black painted shape, After you heat shrink, Trim the pattern piece to just beyond that black area on the inside, from the outside.

Use Stainless Steel Snap blades to Avoid scratching your glass.
Watch some Tinting vids on youtube for more info.

I did mine with Cheap stuff, thats alot harder to Shrink, and I got it done.

Only problem, you really can't see the Skulls from the outside since the rear glass is already tinted, and being a Panel no rear windows to help light up the inside.

You can just barely see them from the outside, the light has to hit just right, and at night can't be seen unless the headrest monitors are on.

I might remove it, still deciding.
