Dude, you can see the angel vents and your other interior lights thru your tint. Heh heh...
How dark is your tint anyways?
What happened to the new sticker idea?

dang snow, yeah, when i saw the pic of my car rim-high in snow, i thought you guys would appreciate it. 
took me 20 minutes to get up my 2 mile long hill/road. came so close to hitting a light post head on, i actually had time while sliding to throw the car into reverse and punch it. looked like a snow blower blowing snow ahead of me out of the wheels. i'm pretty sure it saved me from an accident. moments later i saw a cop spin out in an intersection ahead of me. shook me up enough to post. none too pleased with the fact i was grounded for the nite because of the weather, at least i had some brew in the fridge.
actually redz, no lights are on in the dash. and i don't have tint. that's just my orange dash with the flash. here's something i was eventually gonna post. i installed 2 9" neons under the dash on the same switch as the angel vents. i've since discovered that the neons interfere with my viper alarm. i know the alarm sensor is under the dash around the same place as the neon, but i never thought it would affect it. if i arm the alarm with the neons on, it will trip the warning chirp almost constantly, rendering it annoying, and basically useless. therefore, no interior lighting and alarm at the same time.
anyone else heard of this? i should probably make a new topic of this, but eh, i could always just replace the neons with directional LEDs. questions? comments?
EDIT: oh, that's the same sticker from last year, once i'm sure no more snow will hit me, then i'll figure out an autobot decal upgrade.
