Welcome! I'd recommend a set of new wheels with tires and nothing else. Then go and enjoy the car. The car doesn't need any further lowering. Save it for later when you need to replace the stock suspension. As for tints...why? You'll be driving top down for the most part.

I really like the look of the factory wheels. Tires will be needed relatively soon, though. Lowering is a heavy maybe.

As for the tint, on the few occasions the top is up, it gets real hot here in Texas and will keep me cooler inside.

Get sunshades too for your windshield. They keep my car easily 20-30 degrees cooler when it is in the sun when it is parked

Same here. Same boat. And you know what? I agree. I came from the car as well as the bike scene. Modded them all. For years. The s, after lowering it slightly, doing the uk exhaust mod (oem exhaust just light change in sound), tinting windows, and putting an oem lip on, I'm more than happy.

Not everyone wants to be a boy-racer (subjective)

Enjoy the car and great find!
