What is shoppo?

And I don't want to be that guy with a fluttering supercharger

What is shoppo?

A nice shopping centre in the middle of a heavily multicultural (Italian) suburb in Melbourne.
Just picture a VT commodore on bags with spinners and the body is touching the ground whilst parked diagonally sideways over 3 car parks with neons.
+ a fake blow off valve

[Kody.B]

Sounds like a suburb that someone would aspire to live in.

At least it's not Ipswich, same general thing except the Commodore would be stolen.

So, I'm waiting to hear back on some coilovers.
Failing that, I need me some retail therapy so if I don't get them I will be getting the tint done.

Can anyone suggest a percentage? I'm thinking 20-25% but will it look ridiculously dark?

20% is the best compromise. Looks nice and dark but not too dark that it will attract the 5-0

[zch91]

Go 20 (or 18 or whatever your tint dude does, they all vary for some reason)

5 is too dark to be practical, especially at night.

And 35% is just boring and mainstream

I think it's awesome how in NT we can have 16%, legally!

5 is too dark to be practical, especially at night.

5% is just ridiculous I cannot see out of my back window at night.

[zch91]

Yeah I have 18% all round and I seriously struggle to see anything at night.. A bit scary when I back out of my driveway over a footpath lol. I once reversed into a wheelie bin.. Haven't hit any small children, yet!

[Kody.B]

So 20-25%?
I want it dark but not attention seeking for the law.

My PM to buy coilovers is still sitting in my outbox

[seanmau5]

15%

[HoFF]

I've got 20% all round on my wagon with 5% on the sunroof.
It's perfect for me. Yeah it's a little too dark at night but you get use to it. During the day it's awesome.

I can't stand driving cars with no window tint now haha

Bit of an update, my lighting is being sorted out.

I'm in the process of organising to LED everything with the help of Josh, and have replaced the low beams with HID's after blowing a bulb. I have some white Crystal Vision bulbs for my fogs and high beams (considered going HID but didn't want the warm up period, as you can see in one of the pics the fogs are extremely yellow ).

Here's a few dodgy phone pics! Had a lot of help from a mate when we found my drivers side headlight lamp was being held in my blu-tack!

[Joshy]

Love them, now do the foggies!

Go HID, I did LED and they suck man!
