Default Introduction + What do you think of these rims? and my fix up ideas?

Hey guys Im new hereand Ive been reading up on some of the threads and coming up wit some good ideas on how i wanna fix my Neon up. Im not really into racing so I wannakeep it simple.I ordered a RAI (I likehaving a strong off the lineacceleration) and Im looking at some Black LED tailights and some black headlights. AndI wanna get the windows tinted, maybe 35% up front and 20% in back or should i go 20% all around?

Quick question: What do yall think of these rims on a 05 Neon SXT: Electric Blue? Will it fill out the wheel well nicely?

Akita AK6 - 17x7's with 215:40:R17 tires (this set up only changes my speedometer by 0.1%)

tinting the front windows real dark is illeagal in most states, so look out for that, as for the rims i like em. They should fill out your wheel wells nicely, if they dont you can always get some eibach lowering springs to drop it an inch or and inch and a half

i know the state laws are 40 in front 25 in rear but i know people with really dark tintall the way around and have never been pulled over becuase of it... and if they were pulled over for like speeding or something they weren't ticketedon the tint, so i think im gonna take my chances with 20 all around

I live in Louisiana, they are pretty slack about everything around here, lmao

good luck with the black headlights... or maybe u have a big budget...

Just saw someone post a link to some black or custom headlights for 03 and up Neons and they were like 300 to 400 bucks... unless you make yer own like someone did here(was it lowslow or spikeymikey?)

...there are more available for the earlier Neons with the separate turn signal dongle-thing

the black headlights are not $300-400, those are the new projectors, the blacked out headlights are about $170 shipped, so far have not heard of anyone here with the 03+ projectors
