not my car, but in the 30 minutes that I rode in them, I was still comfortable. Despite not being adjustable, the seatback was at a very comfortable angle and it did provide extra leg room with the stock steering wheel. You're in virginia, how far from IRP are you? Rich has the spirit r recaros in his car, might want to get in touch with him to see for yourself.

Here is a picture of the shaved antenna. Love the updated look. Don't mind the mess, rearranging my garage.
Gordon, I was on the fence about running without a wing but I knew I didn't want the OEM wing. Tire of the look and I get annoyed when I have to wax around it then remove the wax build up under it. I did order a Shineauto lopro wing but so far I really like clean look.

This is pissing me off. This is either a $50 fix or a $300 fix. Will find out today when I get off work. I fix 2 things then break one. Trying to get this fix to break ratio up.

When I get home tomorrow, I will take some picture for you. The fitment was awesome. No issues there. When I first installed it I was regretting getting the spoiler. I went out to my son's baseball game when I came back, I washed the car (had tree sap on it) and got to really look at the car and I liked the look, especially when you step back and take a good look.

35% is good.
50% is legal but too light.
35% is good even at night. At will still look dark in the day, if your interior is black.
I have 20% on my DD and its pretty dark. Not as dark as a normal 20% because my interior is a light color but at night, you cant see anything from the outside. Its hard to park the car at night too so be careful in going 20% or even darker.

Are you going with purpose or just looks?
I think 20% will look awesome on a black FD. My dd is black too and i have 20%. People at work call my car the drug dealer car lol.
35% might be a little light for a black car, depending on the look you're going for.
But if you wont get harassed and if you dont mind a little trouble at night, then 20% is probably perfect for you.

nice to see another fd here in hampton roads, I've been rocking the shine wing for almost a couple of years and it has held up pretty nice. I'd like to see your car in person if I can ever make it to one of these local meets
