Those tints look nice. A used car I bought had some crazy dark tints. 20% or something like that with 5% in the back. It was wack. You defiantly made the right choice with the tint job. It's not too dark, but dark enough.



I have no problem seeing the pictures, no need to login either.

Nice, looks good bro!

niceee! looks really good! Are u gonna do the lights too? :D

I have a question, can cops tell that it is 35% or would they have to pull someone over and use a little machine to check?
most states, any tint on the front windows is illegal, so doesnt matter what % it is....if they are tinted its a ticket regardless of how dark. Not sure what machine you are talking about though....

nice, I like the 35%.

I definitely plan to smoke my headlights and tails. I just haven't had time to do it.

I'm going to see if there's any way for me to separate the lens from the housing easily, and if so, I may use the spray-paint product to "smoke" them.

As for how police can tell if they are 35%... I have no idea. All I know is mine have more see-thru visibility than most other cars I notice on the road but still looks nice and dark.

Also... black grill will be had when available.

I guess my car will replicate what the concept looked like... which was super sexy.

Well depending on which state you are allowed tint on the upper eyebrow of the front windshield, usually no more than 4" down.

And, yes police do have a special tool they use to check window tint, I have never seen per say, but my friends and their friends have, but I don't know if it's widely used across the country though.

My tint guys did to the A-S1(?) line on the windshiled. They said anything below that will not pass inspection. They also said fronts need to be 50% and rears 35%, but I went 35% all-around, screw it.

Fronts 50% shheeeet, Is that new clear-blue AIR Blue windshield tint legal in your state?
 
#22 ·
I don't even know, bro. But it sounds like it could be :)
 
#23 ·
Yeah look into it, it's fairly new but it goes across your whole windshield, blocks out like half the heat I believe. Nice... But it's a little more on the dollar side

The 7-series I just traded in for my Civic had the infrared windshield. It was so cash... I miss that car :(
