How good does the stuff in that can work? Can you still see the brake almost as clear as when it wasnt tinted? From what I have heard it is supposed to be like nothin is even over it once the parking or brake lights are applied. I havent talked to anyone who used it personally so i figured I would hold off on doing it.

yeah you can still see the brakes and back up lights just fine, i mean they aren't as bright as before but you can still see them. i was wondering that too but i figured might as well try it. its only like 8 bucks for a can and you hardly use any. i'm thinking about doing the marker lights on the front fenders. as you can see on the right side taillight in the sun you can see through the tint. but when using the spray on tint you have to sand the lights down with 400 grit sandpaper and put light coats on otherwise it'll run. and its very easy to get this stuff to run.

cut springs.

If you don't cut too much off your springs you will probably be ok. I once cut 3/4 of 1 coil off my springs on my 70 mustang and it worked great. It retained its stock ride quality and the handling was improved and I think it gave me almost 2 inches of drop. Don't cut more than 1 coil maximum, and careful not to heat up the spring too much while cutting it. just remember the shorter your spring is the more you will hit your bump stops. unless you use a stiffer spring. also don't forget to re-align when you finish.
