    Seeing as it's almost Winter up here in the Great Lakes, the projects that I had in mind I planned on waiting until next Spring to get into the works, considering by then I should have some more money to be able to get them done lol anyways, someone on these forums got me a great deal on my HID headlights and I planned to do some research on the other projects I had in mind to find the best deals I would be able to find. Here's a list of what I plan on doing:

    - Tinting Windows (Found a place up here to do all my windows for $195, not sure if that's a good deal or if I could prolly find cheaper)

    - LED Tail lights (The ones I'm looking to get are the Smoke LED ones) I found a pair on e-bay for around $200)

    - Windshield Banner or Decal (Found a place I could customize one for around $20, thought that was pretty cheap)

    - K & N Air Filter (Seems to be 2 different types, I was looking into getting the funnel shaped one, saw those for like $60)

    - Weather guards (Not sure if this is what they're called, but its the black trim that goes above your windows, I saw a set for like $75 dollars online, that wasn't including the sunroof piece)

    - Headlight lenses (They are scratched up really bad, I saw some thread on here about a guy that restored his, he mentioned about a lens sanding kit, I found one at Wal-mart for like $20, but hesistant about buying it, or if I should just replace my lenses with new ones if thats possible)

    So yea these are my projects in the works, nothing too fancy, but I was wondering if any of you guys knew of any good brands and dependable prices and such. Thanks for any help!

    Edit: Sorry didn't specify my Grand Prix, it's a 2004 Grand Prix GT2.

    tint- price sounds average, thats about what mine was
    intake- build you own, theres a few write ups on here
    tails- your choice, leds are cool
    headlight lenses- you might be able to take it off and replace, the mother's restore kit works pretty well, im sure other do too.
    my 2c
    '00 GT- nothing special
    My only advice: Don't take my advice

    I'd venture to guess it's based more on size than number.

    where I got mine done it was both.

    2 X $35 for drivers door and passenger door
    2 X $15 for the little triangle windows
    1 X $120 for back window
    Total=$220
    So the price that you got sounds pretty good.

    I had my windows tinted this summer. I paid $50 a door, but the shop will supposedly warranty it for as long as I own my car.

    I guess what I’m adding is that the “warranty” will/should factor into the price. Also skill is worth paying for, messed up tint is FTL.

    Ten years of continuous driving excitement and counting!
