Alright I'm bored, I need to kno the best way to smoke tail lights. Do them myself or have them done...and does that spray tint **** actually work?

Also what's the normal price to tint windows to 5%?

And what else. Oh yea. would it be easy to shave the dodge symbol on the front bumper above the license plate holder? (That is if you live in a state that requires the front license plate.

And I can't find a damn body kit for my car. I find ones that the front bumper and the side skirts would fit, but not the rear bumper. The 01-03 have those 2 red reflectors mine does not, anybody got anything to help me on that?

And I have a baby blue stratus r/t which would look better? Black or blue calipers?

Also who around here had an 04 or 05 r/t that has done mods? Let me kno

I also have AIM if it's easier to talk on there and explain some of these questions. (RevisedSymbol)

Well to start with, tinting windows varies in every state. You may need to check with your local shops to see if you can even do that much tint.

As for the Dodge symbol on the front bumper, it's a pain in the *** to do. I've shaved all the emblems off my car, cept that one. I would try using some fishing line, and start at one corner and slowly work it back and forth. It's time consuming and annoying. I left it because I knew it would be a PITA.

As for the body kit, there isnt many in the way of kits for the Stratus to begin with, let alone good ones. I would try these sites....

As for your calipers question, I'd have to say blue would stand out more. I have a pearl white car with red calipers, but I'm gonna paint them a different color....here soon...

As for the modified R/T part.....there isnt much in the way of difference on the R/T from 01-03 to 04-05 except exterior body parts.

My 02 has a CAI, an Eibach lowering kit, and debadging. I'm also looking to do some more in the spring....

smoking tail lights is easy, so long as you do it right. i did mine with VHT nightshades...i did a ton of very thin layers...and let it dry completely between each layer..amanda got me mine, i think that it was like 10 bucks...the can looks small, but i did mine, pretty dark, and i have what feels like alot left over.

here is after, and before...its backwards..i know..
