Window tint
Forgot to make a post on this until today... Here are a few shots of the tint job. :D
*EDIT* Tint is 17% all around. Easy to see out of, even at night (I always back down a long, unlit, gravel driveway and have no trouble). And hasn't yet caught any "unwanted" attention from the fuzz.
Now you see her...
Now you don't...
Also invisible from the front... :D (she's sitting in the driver's seat)

yeah I was concerned with night driving when I got 15% but, once it was installed I've had no problems.

Not to hijack vector's thread but....
In Florida 15% is legal except for the front side driver/passenger windows. I took a chance and went with 15% on those as well. I've had cops pull up right next to me at lights and not give it a second look. I can say that since I always have the interior sunroof shade open it tends to add a little more light inside the car,so sometimes it appears lighter if your looking at it from the outside. Plus the 15% does an excellent job on keeping the interior a little cooler in the hot Fl. sun. :D

And tigger, that's a great strategy. :D I usually at least leave the plastic sunroof cover back so a little light comes in for just that reason. I figure if they can see me at all, they probably won't think twice about it.

It's definately a must have down here. I think with tint its just something they'll give you a hard time with if they pull you over for something else. Other than that it probably isn't even worth thier time. If you're pulled over for something else jsut have your window down by the time he gets there
