definatelly makes the car look sick. Mine isnt a DD tho either, so less likelly to get pulled over for tint. Its not bad either, to see out of at night. Drove it home last night in the dark, and it isnt bad at all. There is a noticable difference, but its honestly not hard to see.

I cant stress it enough that if you have tinted windows it becomes a must to have shiney *** tires because it makes normal tires look like they should be on a 4-wheeler.... um yea... seriously.... thats kinda hard to explain....
