Those arent USDM. No USDM S13 came with skirts that flared out like that. They are 180sx skirts or silvia skirts, both are the same and are made of fibreglass, although i think some were FRP. ---

Okay guys, I have _heard_ from a little _bird_ that if you get a doctors note regarding sensitivity of skin in sun, you are allowed to have acceptions to get rediclous tint. Anyone know more about this? ---

There is something in the law about having an unrestricted view out of the windshield and both windows to either side of the driver… I have talked to a cop friend about this and he said any tint could be deemed as restricting your view on the side windows ---

Well i worked at a shop called Auto Edge, we did window tinting rust proofing and shit like that… well the front drivers and passenger side window was only allowed to have 35% … which in my opinion is way too light. Any ways… the back windows and rear windshield your allowed to have it as low as 5% which is limo dark… which is too dark at night btw, i wouldn’t recommend going that dark. But oddly enough my shop is the only shop that wouldn’t go lower then 35 in the front… but if you go anywhere else they’ll put 5 if ya want. the odd thing about this though is, i’ve asked many ppl and also did a little research, and i cant seem to find a “legal” % to window tinting, guess my boss was just a pansy! HA… And besides i’ve seen cars and trucks with 5% and they don’t get pulled over. ---

> [@good not so average rock bands](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-not-so-average-rock-bands/19346/28): > > ^20/20 is perfect vision so I’m guessing you’ve got glasses? nope. 20/10 vision is when an object that is 20 feet away appears as clear as an object 10 feet away for a person with 20/20 vision… “A visual acuity of 20/20 is frequently described as meaning that a person can see detail from 20 feet away the same as a person with normal eyesight would see from 20 feet. If a person has a visual acuity of 20/40, he is said to see detail from 20 feet away the same as a person with normal eyesight would see it from 40 feet away. It is possible to have vision superior to 20/20: the maximum acuity of the human eye without visual aids (such as binoculars) is generally thought to be around 20/10 (6/3) however, recent test subjects have exceeded 20/8 vision. Recent developments in optometry have resulted in corrective lenses conferring upon the wearer a vision of up to 20/10. Some birds, such as hawks, are believed to have an acuity of around 20/2; in this respect, their vision is much better than human eyesight.” > **[Visual acuity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity)** > > Visual acuity (VA) commonly refers to the clarity of vision, but technically rates an animal's ability to recognize small details with precision. Visual acuity depends on optical and neural factors. Optical factors of the eye influence the sharpness of an image on its retina. Neural factors include the health and functioning of the retina, of the neural pathways to the brain, and of the interpretative faculty of the brain. > The most commonly referred-to visual acuity is distance acuity or far a...
