Wow... that's dark. You won't see much out the rear window at night.
Watch out for the cops... :)

yup!
but i plan on getting the metra kit, and also one of those backup cameras with night vision to remedy that

also i have been watching for the cops, and quite frankly i have passed a few on the way home, and they did not seem to care. plus i was going like 10 under the speed limit.

from what i hear is that they wont ticket you just for tint (unless the cop is a real dick) but if your speeding or doing some other kind of moving violation, then they probably would ticket you for tint. similar to having no front plate.

my cousin has a honda si 07'
5% all around, no cop trouble for him
i still remember Christmas day when we got pulled over in his car, cause the cop saw him rev his car to pass a slow driver and he quickly rolled down his windows, and the cop said not to rev your engine cause it draws attention to you and to signal, but that was it and he let us go.

ok good, cause in a week i plan on going back and getting the eyebrow tint, and im also going to get the sunroof tinted and both 5%

also does anyone know if they can also tint side markers? or do you HAVE to use a spray on tint?

i also would like to smoke my tail lights, but only very lightly, not the blacked out look:icon_no2:

wish we could get a full tint like that in the uk but the boys in blue say back 3 windows only:squint:
