Tints - Not sure about % yet... post some of yours to help me out if i should stay legal or not
Lowering Springs - 1.5in drop front & rear
Polished Calipers - Never seen anyone w/ them... not even sure if its possible. But w/ the black wheels might look nice.
Thanks for lookin!

May as well have painted the back window. LOL. My friend, Mikey, has an S60R has the same basic tint set up. 5 on the front two, and double five on the rest, with 35% on the windsheild. Dude spent like $500 on tint alone. LOL. He wanted to do double 5 on all but windsheild, but the tinter said he may as well paint the windows. Yours looks good, though, real good.

The car looks hot man. The only thing I dont like about ur car is the same thing I hate about my car and its the Mandatory MA plates in the front bumper... it kills the whole look of the car.... but other than that

yah the mass plates suck... unless you got a green one then you only have to have one on the rear. but those are dated, at least 12 years you've had to have em.
thanks for all the props!

Yo RMLatinplaya, I agree with you on the front plate issue. Presently I'm risking a fat ticket, I'm wearing mines on the dash. It's only a matter of time before I get tagged. If I get stopped by them "boys" before I get the stupid holder, then I would say... "Good day Officer, good thing you noticed that, it actually just fell off not too long ago and I'm actually on the way to have it installed. I apologize but thank you for doing your job.... "
Personally, I dont think it's that big of a deal, and its torture for us CL owners who typically feel uncomfortable with punching holes in our bumpers.

I live in MA, yeah the front bumper plate does suck. I have the CL ype S chrome license plate frame on the front though. Its better than getting bagged for something like that. Then they search the car and so on. What are you guys in MA rocking for Mods??
As for Tint, I have blk on blk CLS and I have 35% on the passenger windows and 20% on the rest. I find the 35% to 5% to drastic of a change, it looks like you have no tint on the other windows.

I would suggest 25% all around just to stay legal... somewhat, of course it varies from state to state, check it:

and here's my whip with the smooth tint. of course it looks dark sitting on a silver paintjob, but on a black, darker would be needed.

i wish i could get 25% and stay legal, MA = 35% which is a little lighter than i want it to be. i was thinking 35% front 25-20% rear. thats a nice lookin ride rondog...& rondog do you sell or know of anyone who sells eyebrows for a 03 cl?

I now drive an accord....
Here are several pics of my car with 35% all the way around. I like 35% because its dark enough to make the car look nice, with out hindering your vision at night. Plus Tint isn't really legal here in PA and I have had cops park right beside me and just look and smile. Plus I think the tint that was used on my car has a slight reflective material in it which makes it look alittle darker than it really is on a cloudy day as you can see in some of the pics.

dude, your boy has double 5 on the front windows, is he nuts! that would bother the shit out of me.
try to find a shop with 30% instead of 35, its a lill more darker and will keep you at of trouble. at the same time, it will match up better with 20 on the rear, (if you end up doing that.)
