Default Which Mod?

I need some help on which modification should be next......Im debating on a cold air intake or tinted windows for my soft top....
I don't have enough money to get an exhaust with the cold air intake, and i have been wanting to tint my front two windows but would look silly if i didn't have the back windows tinted!

Personally I wouldn't waste the money on intake and exhaust components for a JK. There is not enough noticeable performance gains to justify the cost. Just my two cents.

I tried to save some money buy trying that static cling tint.... not so much! I think the best thing to do is just order them from
Quadratec, they have the best price I've seen so far!

Do the window tints(soft top tints)..... cold air intake in my humble opinion a waste of money for what you gain.
Now if you're looking for a little extra rumble(noise) for your JK but not spend the money on an entire exhaust system...... I just replaced my muffler with a flomaster "original" muffler. I got the sound I wanted without spending alot.

X2 on this... you'll end up feeling unsatisfied and then be pissed you spent the money. As far as the tinting goes, i mentioned it to another as well....why not tint your windows yourself? They are rather flat and don't have any contour really and its pretty much a square window to cut. Roll of tint is less than $20

Read it wrong, now I see that you want soft top tints. Don't they sell spray tint?

You don't think regular tint cut to the exact window shape would take and stay put? I mean, I'm not a tint pro but I don't see why it wouldn't?

I have talked to several people about this.... If the windows were brand new and if i never rolled them up it might work....Mine are not so new...LOL! i have $250 bucks so i figure i'll just purchase them.
