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 have had all my windshields tinted and love the way it looks. easy to see, and keeps alot of sun off the interior. havent gotten my z done yet though, it cam with tint on it (not the best) but it will hold me over til i decide how i wanna do it. yours looks great man. i have a pewter z and it gives me an idea of how it would look on mine.

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....

i honestly dont like the way that **** slings all over the side of my car, so it wont be SHINY. I do use the meguairs gel stuff, its purple, and smells kinda good, but that only goes on about once a month.

yea, i was drunk when i posted that so disregard that whole thing pretty much... but just 4 the record, the gel in the orange bottle is the greatest and it stays on the wheels... it think its armor-all?

I think that is the first time I have seen anyone tint the front window (save from the top strip).

Looks good. Would you mind taking a picture of what it looks like to look through the windshield with that 45%?
