Ok...#1: I would like to see some pics of your tinted windows...and say your tint% plz. I am wanting to tint mine. I was thinking 5% on the back 3, and 20% up front.
#2 if anyone has some 18" rims that they want to sell let me know...pics...price...I prefer the
5-spoke style, but almost anything but stock will work for me.

If you get 5% you won't be able to see at all at night ... I'd personally go with 15 or 20% all the way around. What I have is 30% side windows with 20% on the back.

The sides are a little too light but they work. but it works. 20% is good because it won't get you in trouble with the law for the most part, but you won't hit anything backing up and not see it coming.

Do you have a 2dr or 4dr? If 4dr, get the same on the sides. If it changes I think it looks tacky...

Just a few ideas for you. See what others have to say. Here's a pic of mine:

Check ebay for wheels, a good deal can be found if you're patient.

I don't know what my tint is. It's how I bought the car, and pictures make it look darker than they actually are.
I want to have it redone with medium on the sides and a double layer of medium on the rear.

I checked Ebay and found these but will they fit do mustangs have the same bolt pattern as our GP's? What do you guys think of them??? (I'll change the decal of course)

The tint on my car is in my sigline. That is 35% all the way around. I prefer 20%, but 35% is the legal limit where I live.

i just had my windows redone with 15% all the way around. i like it being that dark, but it does make it difficult trying to back up at night, usually have to open the door and look out. other than that i love it. i have some pics posted on the pic page if you want to see what it looks like.

Find out what the bolt pattern is on those wheels... I believe GP's will take wheels with the 5x114.3 or 5x115 bolt pattern.

Other than finding out that, they seem like a good deal. Only other thing to think about is tires, low pros will run you a fair amt of money. Looks good though.

as best as i can tell our cars use a 5-115 bolt pattern and the mustangs use a 5-114.3 bolt pattern. will a 9 or 10 wide fit under a GP without doing some work to the wells?

I can only tell you what happened to me. I put bullet rims on a stock GT. There was no problem with rub..at first....then with the trunk full or with 2 in the back seat, I noticed the rears rubbed over bumps and on cornering. As a result I installed intrigue rear springs with new struts all around....no more rub....BUT there is a wheel gap that some people dislike. So if your running stock you may have some issues with wheel rub...

Go here for pics: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2323330
I have 20% all around, black on black looks great IMO.

That looks great! how hard is it to see out of the 20%? I think thats what im going to do. But the cops are going to HATE me, especially w/ the windshield done. LOL

The Saleen rims are 5 x 4.5 which I think is the same as 5 x 114.3...someone correct me if im wrong. So they should fit. the sizes are front = 18 x 9 and the back = 18 x 10. Are these sizes going to be a potential problem. What is the widest i can fit without mod'ing the wells?
