Depends on the height of the speed bump. Only thing that'll scrub is the hard rubber air dam and it's spring loaded on the front part.

caution on tint, check your local laws as it varies place to place. State of kansas limit is 35%.

Looks good, getting mine done this month, but am only going to the legal limit.

That tint makes it look much better and will keep the interior cooler during the summer.

20% looks great, same as I have on my car!

Lowering it is pretty straight forward. I did it myself in my garage with standard tools. The front gave me some troubles but after doing it now, I know the tricks to make it go smoothly! The rear is a breeze. If you have ANY questions on lowering, feel free to shoot me a PM. I replaced all the bolts to slam it, going on stock bolts is even easier!

You should put like a 12 inch bar on the front window... they are very sweet. I had 20 percent tint and it wasn't enough so he put another 20 on top of it and it came out to like 5% or something stupid.
