Nice, I like the tint. It looks way dark though. Just out of curiosity, what are your state tint laws?

The people at the tint shop said it does not matter what i tint my windows with. A cop can pull me over for factory tint he was being an ***. I'm in NY so that's believable. And it's definitely darker in the pics than it is in person.

Truth, the legal limit is 70% or something retarded like that. I've seen people get pulled for stuff as light as 55%ish as dark as 5%.

Looks good. Where in NY are you? I've been looking for a tinter capable of tackling the tricky rear window.

Lmao! Damn it really does look dark in the pics! You think I should get those gray torq thrusts? I was stuck between the chrome and the gray ones. Not that I have the money but idk which one i'd like!

And i'm on Long Island, NY.. The tinter I went to yesterday didn't tint the back. I left that tint on from when i bought the car. I gotta say though, the sides came out reaaally good.
