Did you have to have to put more sealant or anything on it afterwards?

For a more removable seal when I get a third that appears to have a bad seal as a core return I'll get some new weatherstripping that's slightly thicker than the stock seal and make a new seal for them. And where the two ends meet I put a dab of silicone between them.

Do you notice any difference in the steering with the stabilizers?

Got them same time as the lift, and it drives just like stock. So I guess it did something.

And my next mod changed a little. Had an issue with the original idea. But should still be happening with something else.

Vague as I could be.

Some states require all tinting to be above the AS-1 line. Personally I hate the partial windshield tint, it's right in my line of vision since I'm tall. The gradual factory style tint is much better IMHO. Tinted taillights will create problems in some areas, just so you know.

IMHO modified vehicles in general have a higher "cop stop" probability to begin with. Cops around here pull highly modified vehicles looking for drugs.
