Xr6t Vs Xr5t - Highway Driving
The focus has huge amounts of room.. Even with a sunroof in it! Im 6.1 and I can put the seat all the way back in the XR5T and only just touch the pedals. I also think the XR5T seats are alot more sportier and hold you in better than the current XR6T seats. As for price.. Theres a huge difference. XR5T 36k XR6T 43k + Once my lease runs out in a few years, ill be trading for the XR5T without a doubt. They will become the next cult hatch car (like the swift in its days)

New Rims.. Yay (mkii)
Prefer to keep the car legal and Vicroads friendly The front 2 windows are 35% tint and the rears are 20% As for tail lights, nah never liked those ricey looking Altezza things.. They are also made very cheap and leak/fade over time.

New Rims.. Yay (mkii)
Yeh I added a thin chrome strip around the front and back.. I had to redo the front though as the chrome strip stretched in the hot sun (on the day I did it), then shrunk back. Its about at 1cm on 1 side and 2cm on the other.

Wa Speed Nazi's
You cant compare NT open highway rules to any of the other states.. Of course speed has everything to do with it. So does a lapse in concentration and people being given their licenses to easily. I still dont know why people get so upset over the 'no speeding or youll cop a fine rule'.. If you speed, live with the bloody consequences.. I do. ← Why can't you compare the NT to other states? ← Because of the volume of cars on the road, the huge amount of mountains, twisties, sh*tty highways and blackspots we have in most other states. That is why.

Metallic Window Tint
Using metallic tint on the back window can cause poor reception aswell as annoying buzzing/whining noise in your speakers. I know as I have it. (You can only hear the whining if you put your ear up to the speakers though)

Subwoofer Replacement
looks good. What happens if you get a flat tyre, or your tyre blows (meaning you cant use that space filler crap in a can)?
