This past weekend I blacked out my girlfriends mini, did 35% tint on the front and rear windows and 70% on the windshield. Let me know what you think, before:

Probably gonna order a new valve cover today, since MINI USA didn't want to cover the charges. VC's shouldn't be replaced this early...

Ordered the NM Turbo Heat Shield and a Turbo Oil Line Heat Shield from WayMotorWorks and ordered a pre-intercooler pipe (very awesome piece) from siliconintakes.com to replace the muffler pipe that leads to the hot side of the intercooler.

I installed hella horns on my R53. Very simple install. 5 minute bumper removal. cut and solder 4 total wires. and bam done. They literally bolted into stock locations.

The hella's came off my brothers total'd wrx. he painted them blue and let them rust and fall apart from bad prep. So i re-preped them, sprayed them a charcoal, and used all new stainless hardware.
