yea i would like to tint the windows, as for the paint the first plan was red with silver stripes but i couldnt mask the stripes strait enough for my taste (im very picky when it comes to details on paint) so i wasted almost 400 dollars in house of color silver metallic paint by covering it up with red. i have been building this car since the end of 2003. ill put it to u this way as to what kind of shape it was in when i got it. i paid 1000 dollars for it and pertty much the only reason i paid that much for it was it had black interior and started.
