Need To Lower Car
Car Looks Good with 35% on sides, Hatch should be 20% IMO
P.S. - This ain't facebook.

Looks good. Needs to be lowered for sure though.

Will admit, was quite disappointed. Thread title had me thinking the thread was going to be more than 35% tint!

Couple of the Mods I have in mind are either clear corners or tinting the clear to a smoke dark grey?? Swapping out my beloved SLP SS front grille for a dreaded black billet so that I still keep that appearance look, but yet am still obeying the laws of displaying my front license plate.... (Virginia is retarded).... A black gloss painted Berger panel on the rear, and the tear drop painted black as well.... Getting Rims and tires of course.... But am not lowering my "4x4" until I do so.... And my custom tags come in 3 weeks

Yea I know.... Tell me about it! But! Going 35% all around in Virginia believe it or not is actually still illegal! No matter how gay or not you think this is.... If there wasn't Thugs and gangsters and a criminal filled world, then we could all limo tint our vehicles.... But sadly in todays world, cops have to be cautious of being SHOT while walking up on a tinted vehicle today.... Florida has just changed their laws and Virginia's is the most strict I have EVER seen! With allowing only 50%!!!!! On the sides.... And a max of 35% on the rear.... Soooooo going with 35% all around is pushing it and asking for trouble, but still a LOT better than 20% all around.

My 01 Z28 that is back at home at my folks has 2% tint.... It would be interesting driving her over here.... Lol

do a search on here. several people have the plate mounted underneath the front bumper that allows you to keep the grille.

Good ****, to me, 5% on the rear would've set it off. Excellent choice on the alarm/remote start too.
