Makes me jealous. I miss my dark side tint. 43's the max here. I've tried retinting after inspection twice, got pulled over twice.

Lookin real good man!

im not a fan of the windshield banners that go lower than stock, but other than that it looks great. tint is something i couldn't live without

i just got pulled over yesterday for my tint (15%), but he didn't give me a ticket. he got a call on his radio for a half-dead dog on the side of the freeway... he had to respond.

I totally disagree. I love giant eyebrows and a bit rounded at that. Your tint looks Good, nice and dark, but i would of added another two inches to the eyebrow for my taste. each to his own i guess, but good job on the tint its a must IMO.

I was told they couldn't tint my t tops.. but my tint is 5% all around so even if it was lightened up you couldn't see in.

yes the t-tops do let quite a bit of light in. the easiest thing to do is pick up a set of t-top shades. they fit right in there and block out all the light, and blend with your interior. or you can tint them, i've heard of some people getting 5%, and even double 5%, which is pretty much letting no light in at all. it definitely helps darken the interior, and makes the other windows seem like they have a deeper tint

Ya i like to rock the shades keeps that hot *** sun off me and makes interior look clean but why would they say they couldn't tint them? B/c of the dot matrix tint or something?

i have everything on my car including the t-tops tinted 5%, and my windshield 50%. On my old WS6, i had only 5% tint on the hatch and both sides, but nothing on the t-tops and nothing on the windshield, and yes tinting the t-tops makes your tint look WAY darker. all of the light that comes through the factory (say 15% tint) on the t-tops lights up the inside of the car and this is what makes the difference. If you've ever parked your car with the windshield in direct sunlight, it is much easier to see into the car. eliminating the light coming into the car is what gives it the darker appearance and 5% on the t-tops is pretty much the same as the t-tops shades, but you can still look up at the sky i can stare directly through my tops at the blazing sun and not be blinded,hehe.
