Things got Darker

Got the windows done - 20 in the back three, 30 on the side two.





Stainless Steel strakes and the car will be DONE, externally...if I keep the car, I'll get rims, (in all-black) however.

Looks great. I'll bet a little smoke on the headlights and tail lights would really finish it off.

very nice looking. we'll cross our fingers that your engine problems work out and you keep it. who else will post all of those nice photos for us if you leave?

oh, and i'd have to disagree with wilson on the smoked lights.

Has anyone tried to tint the windshield???? I have heard that you can't because of the "stuff" over the rearview mirror.

I like strakes, and the stainless ones are the best.

tint looks good. I don't think i will ever tint my windows though. It's seems to take away from the overall looks of the car when u can't see the inside from the outside.

front windows may be too dark for safety.

safety? not necessary. if you need it for safety, you simply push the window down button.

I have 20 all around on mine... I had 2 previous vehicles I put 5% on... both times I got stopped... stripping them is a bitch... also is taking the time to go to the DMV to then get the car inspected...

Looks nice dmp...I've got 20% all the way around and no issues. My friend has double 5% all the way around on his truck...I don't see how he sees anything at all...its absolutely rediculous.

I have a friend who tinted the frot windshield and it compromises your ability to see properly at night. It's also illegal in most states.
