New Tint! (sorry car alittle dirty)

This is the legal limit for tint is 35% in kansas. Could go to 20% visibility like the glare strip. But i would have to roll down the windows at night to see out.







The roof scratches I was talking about





Glare strip and you can kinda see the roof scratches only when you are upclose. With alittle radar detector in there.



Just alittle bump in the trunk



The amp on top with just alittle room to spare. It's a Alpine MP40. Powers both subs to the limit perfectly.

35% any darker and it would be illegal. My cousin had 1% and had to drive with windows down all the time on his little truck. Got it done at my cousins shop for cheap because I got the hook-ups.

I live in Kansas and i've got a 35%. I really wish i would have gone darker because 35 is not enough.

Nice CL, I know alot of people from wichita.

that tint looks great, i think i'm going to go with 35... i'm not a fan of super dark tint, looks kinda ghetto imo.

how'd they do around the dot stuff at the edges of the quarter and rear glass? a friend of mine had that on his saturn, and they just laid the tint over it, and it wound up coming loose and bubbling and stuff around that crap.

They call it a dot matrix and at my cousins shop they tried to sand it down on other cars but it doesn't help it's just something you have to deal with. Mine was done by some pros in Hutchinson in my cousins shop they got mine done in like a hour and a half. Thats what they told me on the dot stuff it just happens and it sucks.

When I bought my 99 I had 35% but the back was messed up, so I pulled it off, the car didnt look so good without Tint, so I just put 5% on it...YIKES, I can't see Sh*t out my windows at night time, and Its hard to tell who's police and who isn't

The place where I got my tint at, they put a black vinyl across the top. You cannot tell the difference from the outside, You can tell a little from inside but it looks great

I'm thinking of going black vinyl or even red on the doors and speaker covers on the doors with black vinyl roof would be spankin'.

Also I'm looking to put some ponies under the hood. What intake do you recommend?
