Oh, that's cool!
I've been thinking about tint and wondering how much it would cost to have a shop install good tint. I want it perfect and the good stuff that won't bubble or turn purple, so I'll just take it to a pro.
Today I:
Replaced dizzy cap and rotor, plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, O2 sensor.
Installed cargo light. I just created a ground wire and use the built in switch for on/off. I'll install a pin switch later or a switching latch if I find one.

The tint was FREE. My neighbor provided it and the help. Its 5%. I like the look but to be honest its to dark and will probably remove it and replace it with 15%.

My four new Yokohama 12" tires arrived via UPS from Tire Team today.
Only problem is they had my house number as 672 instead of 572 so
they delivered them to a house a block away. Luck for me, my phone number
was on the label.

They're 13x5 INTRA wheels made for Toyota. The tires that came with them are shot so I will replace them some 185-60-13 Sumitomos. I'll wear out the Falken 175-60-13s that are currently on the Aspire steelies first though and then switch to the "new" shoes!
As for my Festy..... When I got it, you could turn the steering wheel almost 90* at any speed and nothing would happen. In the last two weeks, I've spent several hundred dollars on the following;
-inner driver side tie rod end
-outer pass side tie rod end
-both control arms/ball joints
-new tires
-Aligned twice
NO more play in the steering! No more shaking! It's not scary to drive on the highway anymore!!
New short term goals;
-overhaul pretty much everything brake related.(parking brake snapped in two different places, back brakes don't do much at all, fluid is black as night, front rotors are TRASHED, etc etc.)
-new catalytic converter.(Mine isn't clogged, but it's rusted completely through in several spots
-Crankshaft oil seal.(starting to leak A LOTTTTTTTTT, and I think that's the only oil leak left
