Factory Turbo Auto Berlina, was painted black in the late 90's or early 00's from memory. Most fast car owners around these parts are just hoons, not real enthusiasts.

I personally don't like them. A car looks cleaner with just a light tint

I thought that was a battery box or something.
Yeah I reckon tints are way better, the rear of the wagons look wierd on the inside, there's this uncovered metal area between the headlining and the trim around the bottom, I want to hide it.
