kewl... ima get tints now that i see 35% looks good on the car. I was thinkin 35 or 20 but i think 20 will be too dark.

We're not allowed to legally tint the front side windows - I just had the small side windows and back window done.

Gord....Are those rims for your everyday driving or are they for special conditions?

Looks great! Thanks for the pix - been trying to decide what % to go for. I want mine to look pretty much like your end result, so I appreciate the photos!

Sorta special conditions - those are my winter wheels! :D

17x7" Konig Holes with Toyo Garit HT 215/55-17 winter tires. The combo is 6 pounds lighter than the OEM wheel/tire combo weighs!

Nice pics. Did you look into the metalic type of tint? I'm trying to figure out which would look the best on my titanium baby, a grey like the pics of the grey metalic.

One thing I noticed, you added the front mud guards? They are not part of the appereance package right? I was thinking about doing the same, it looks great!

Thanks for posting the pics -- I hadn't even considered getting tint on my Titanium Gray RX-8 until after seeing yours! Now I probably will.
