Tint and larger rear view mirror, don't give any significant gains in hp, I have read about 2% gain. LOL

Where the real power is at, stickers and altezza/euro clear taillights. MAD Power!

For tint, most of the guys here have gone to Special T Tinting.

Actually the only stickers that have been PROVEN to add horsepower and also torque are the "Powered By Honda" stickers. All others are scams, dont fall for it. I have front and rear windshield of the above on order so I can do better at auto-x.

Special T Tinting, Keith will hook you up...

Special-T-Tinting on Dillingham is the best!
Keith is the man, and we always encourage all the Suby guys (or Anybody for that matter) to go get tint done there!!

Hard to tell. I think I paid like $110 or something. For 18% tint. OR maybe a little more. Cant remember. They do great work and will always back it up. Anyone down there can help you, but Keith owns the place and does the Tint. Efran and a couple others do the alarms and stereos.

Special T

did my Grand Cherokee. Ask to see their photo album. I didn't know you could do stuff like they do with tint. It's actually an art form in my opinion. I have a friend that's a friend of Keith's. He hooked me up. Had my WRX done by Al's which is close. S2000 Joey got me a price hook-up there. Keith will actually recommend Al's for some work, so either one will work. But if you want something special or custom, go to Special T.

I just work on campus, I see a bunch of WRXs in the parking structure, I was wondering which one's were I-club members.

ohhh, well most likely none of those wrx's are mine. i usually park on Bingham street and walk it from there. if you happen to see a black 04 with a big looking asian guy then that might be me.
