I'm going tint shopping tomorrow. A friend of mine with a SRT-4 (really nice and really powerful) has limo tint on all his windows and he hasn't gotten stopped by the police in the 2 years he's had it. But I don't want to go that dark, I'm thinking either 20 or 30 percent.
Well, if anyone cares, I just got my tint today. I ended up going 20 percent all around. Illegal... but barely. So I'll post pics on a nicer day. I'm so happy. I love the dark windows.
Of course we care...I'm hurt. OK, I lied, I'm not really hurt.

How much did you pay?

Wow.. I never realized you replied. I'm sorry 22350. I paid 129 for 20% all around.

I just took this pic so you could see it. It was cloudy today so the lighting is dim. (Notice the fast on my dash)

Very Nice!! I think I'm gonna do 20% all around too, how is it at night?

I wasn't sure I liked the double front plate in the other pics you posted, now that I see the full car I like it a lot more.

Do you have any cooling problems with that double-plate setup?

Thanks for the compliment! As for seeing at night, it's actually okay. Now, if it's pitch black and all you have is the rear lights lighting your way, it's a little more difficult.

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. I'll keep you guys posted if I have any problems.

I don't understand... why would I have a problem with the fuzz? I have my original license plate. If i'm going to run into problems regardless, then I'm going to take off my texas plate and go with the Euro only...

hows ur 600hp nissan doing? im still waiting to see that dyno...
Krypton- I was giving 22350 a bad time- since he is in CA. I don't know what your tint laws are where you live.
Oh, I misread that. My fault. Texas is one of the most lenient as far as tint laws, but 20% is still illegal here. The limit is 25%...i think. So, it's still pretty good. My friend has 2% and he's been driving his SRT-4 for about two years like that with no problem. I don't think they'll pull me over here unless they're having a bad day.
what? i really want to know lol i mean he has to be lying about it...but...still want a dyno
There should be a posted dedicated to pictures of tinted GTIs. imho...
