Easily Add Power with Tunit Tuning
Tunit provides an efficient and adaptable method of enhancing a vehicles performance (power and torque) without the need to alter the vehicles original equipment or programming. The advantages of the Tunit are; adjustment for optimum efficiency (both manually, by the customer and electronically, via a PC by a distributor), flexibility, as in movement from one vehicle to the next and ease of installation. The principle of Tunit is to provide all these advantages that previous methods of tuning such as EPROM replacement and "flashing" or OBD tuning could not.

Here are a couple of pictures of my SPI, the tint is a 20% smoke color, not too dark at night but good for the bright sunlit days of Phoenix, AZ.  Your poll needs the addition of, "Tint it because you want to, not beacause someone else thinks that it would be a good idea."

No tint. How will people be able to see the big grin on your face while you are driving your mini?

DAMN. Every time I come up with an idea, someone beats me to it. H82WRK did the lights and the checkers before me, now you are doing the tinting. I was thinking of doing just the rear sides, partly because I think the rear would be too bowed to get a smooth fit. With my recent racer look, I though a couple vintage racing stickers of dark windows would look cool, and like you said, if you don't like it, take it off. If you have a picture of your car in good light, send it to me or post it. I'll tint it via photoshop for you.

 Never done a poll before, lets see how it goes.

So I am thinking about tinting my windows.  I am pretty good at it and have done several friends cars with good results just not sure how it would look on a mini. (car is all white).  Since all the glass is flat on a mini it would be really easy to do and not to hard to remove if I don't like it.  What do you think?

Suggestions?

If any of you have pics of your mini with tinted windows or any pics of an all white mini with tinted windows please post.
