Newbie question and pics....

Whatsup everyone, i am fixing to order my tailight tint, as well as my clear corners, but i was curious on Rockblocker.com, there are two shades of tint you can buy, one has 83 percent light, and the other is the darker, 73 percent light i believe. Anyway, how much of a difference is the lighter from the darker? Any pics or suggestions would really help me. Oh, and since im a newbie, heres a few pics of my car at the moment...





Before i had my windows tinted.



Anyway, sorry about the crappy pics, im no photographer. And yeah, she needs to be slammed!!! Looking for a 2"-2.5" drop after tails and corners come in...

Welcome, the rockblocker films are opposite of window tint. 20% is lighter and 35% is darker. I have the lighter 20% and you can still see the red through slightly, and all light passes right through. Some like Klepto have the darker. I used our pics for a comparison.

35% darker
Klepto





20% my car.

Compared to stock

Your car is too much black for me, but I'm digging the shaved/painted emblems.

Not a bad start!

Thanks for all the help, and compliments, usually my friends del sol takes up all the spotlight. And those are some NICE Cl's. The 20% and the 35% both look awesome, i might just have to shut my eyes when picking. And yeah, there is alot of black on it, but it will be broken up a little when my clear corners come in, and i decide on some better rims. And ive heard alot about the Tein basic Pro's, thinking that will be the next thing on my list after the tailight tint and cc.

Yeah, i saw his in the photo album, very clean i must say. And, i ended up buying the lighter tint for my tails, cops here in Ms have a problem with my car already, dont want to give them another reason to pull me over. But one more question, after i ordered it, it just said thanks for your order... How long does it usually take to get here?
