!!!$80 wow what a steal. I want 20% all around like my other cars but since the prev owner of my 8 had tint installed it will cost me $225 to have it stripped and put back on.. for that price.. I will just keep what I got.

yeah I had 20% done all around as well... I really wish I had gone darker because night driving isnt any worse than without tint

I have 20% all around as well.

I had darker 5% before on my other cars as well as 10% and 15% as well. You may THINK that anything darker than 20% will work, but it really does hinder some of your abilities to see at night. Especially with a car with as many blind spots as the RX8!

Stickers look horrible. Nice tints though. I wish that NY would allow more than 70% tints. WTF, might as well say no tints at all since 70% is basically nothing.

Isn't stock like 74? In Jersey we're not allowed tint on the front but that law can suck my tailpipes.

"Front Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Rear Window Any darkness can be used."

"Front Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance.
Back Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance."


I don't like the idea of getting tickets. Driving a VR rx8 in NYC is already obnoxious enough :lol: .

Yes it is! as long as you don't pass that line near the rear view mirror it's legal. You can go as dark as you want. i went with the darkess 5% limo tint is what the shop i went to calls it they told me it's legal. The legal limit is 35% on the sides, and as dark a you want in the rear. Hope this helps :ylsuper:

You should, it would look sweet. if you guys want me to take how it looks inside i will. Im talking to the manager soon hopefully, so i can get tinted tails too, and Eyebrows for the headlights. :SHOCKED:

yeah you definitely need to redo your decals and do them properly. let me know if you're interested in roll calls.

tints look nice tho, and that is really cheap for tints.. i'm thinkin of going 35% all around
