thanks guys. I've put a lot of work in my 02 SSEi and it runs better than ever. Garage kept since day one. The interior is perfect as well....I posted some pics the interior about a year ago.

I'm not much on the big wheels and tires, but I have got to admit, the car looks great with them. Looks like a great detail job too. - BC

Very nice. Good choice of wheels to go with the tint and the tail lights, really looks good on silver.

:drool:

I LOVE the tails like that, and like Bill said, I'm usually not a fan of wheels like that, but those go really well the way you have the entire car packaged! Great job!

Thanks for the compliments. About 5 months ago I had to run off the road to avoid a serious accident. In the process it ruined three of the factory rims and all 4 four tires. It was much cheaper to get the 20s compared to getting a used set of factory rims with tires. I got the rims and tires out the door for $950....I couldn't complain.

Not bad at all! Usually not a fan of black rims but those look sick, everything flows together so well. Nice work man!

Very nice! How did you darken the tails, and what window tint percentage do you have?

I used this - http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp ... nite+shade

Just make sure you clean the surface the best you can. I applied 3 coats to achieve the shade I preferred.

My tint is 20%. It's Illegal, but the police won't bother ya.

The exhaust sounds really good for what I have $$ invested. It has a low-deep tone when you just want to cruise, but roars when you smash on it. With the exhaust and the INTENSE FWI it sounds like a pissed off jet. I get compliments almost on a daily basis because is in such good shape, especially with 170k miles. I'm actually thinking about selling it because Dodge is about to come out with the Dart SRT4.
