Easter Sunday new pics, just got tinted

Some new pics as I just got my tinting done late last week. Legal in Florida is 30% upfront and 15% in rear. I decided to go with 30%(even on side rear windows), but then went 15% on the back.

Couple more shots for Easter Sunday!
Think I should've gone with 15% in rear side windows?

Thanks..................Thinking of loosing that wind deflector though. Never really noticed how high the damn thing stands up until I saw pictures of it. It really does cut down on wind noise though.
Missy.......I get quite a few comments on the rims actually. I just thought they were almost the best I had seen for a Ti-Gray. Of course it's all subjective, but..................with Ti-Gray...........I like them. They wouldn't look as good on some other colors I'll bet.

Don't hate on the wind deflectors! Ha, I have one and I like it. Blends in well with my black 8 I think.

That's it, I'm going to go take it off for awhile and see which way I like it better! Came with it, so I never considered taking it off.
Might be less obtrusive on a black car.

The defector is already gone! No scratches, just two quick coats of Maguire's Gold and all is fine! IMO the scratch issues is probably due to some folks having it loose and moving around. The very first thing I did a year and half ago(when I got it) was to tighten it down. And I was careful it taking it off of course.
