I think 20% looks much cooler, but you could have trouble with the fuzz...they used that in the past to pull me over. I put the "quantum" tint on my accord, so it was legally 35%, but it appeared darker. I have 35% on my TL to mostly avoid the hassle...and partially so people know who's driving the cool car. Here's a pic of the quantum...

darkshear,

you have the whole windshield tinted?? if you do, then keep in mind that God forbid you get into an accident, if the other guy has a good lawyer, he could successfully argue that you illegally have tint on your windshield that prevented you from getting a clear view of the road. if it worked, then you could end up losing a lawsuit, even if it was the other's guy's fault.

i have 15% all the way around and i love it especially because i have an NBP with black leather and that makes it look darker inside especially at night

i had 5% on my last car and that was too much (a little dangerous at night) the 15% is just right not to ghetto and not to light, i will post pics later

I always think stuff like this is fishy... You are not allowed to have even a tiny amount of tint on the front window, yet it is perfectly legal for you to drive with sunglasses on all day/night, while yapping on the cell phone, while holding a soda in your right hand, and probably steering with your left knee....

i absolutely agree...5% is too dark at night, on my other car i have 5% on the back half.....i'm going in for tinting this sat for the front half...REEEEALY tempted to do 5%, but it's too dark, and i don't want problems....i'm going 15% like my TL. (15% all around)...


BTW- with the legal stuff.....you COULD be sued i guess and have the other guy win because of windsheild tints....but then again......lets say you pull out of a road and somehow a guy manages to hit you from the side, (or the back and says you cut him off)....the court (or the po-po) will say you had dark tints in the front and couldn't see him when you pulled out.....so pretty much, have illegal tint ANYwhere is a pain.....BUT...windsheild REALLY sucks....that's my opinion...

darkshear's car looks friggin awesome though. i'd love to do my windsheild.....35% though. dunno how he drives at night with 3%s.....lol ...a friend of mines got 2.5% on his WRX....it's nuts.

-peace

EDIT: O, BTW- i'd include pics but i dont have any pics of my new tint yet

The fogs come with the front bumper which is the Value Sports Bumper. The grille is called the Mugen Grille and apparently it is discontinued.

hey blackshadow, Brian is selling his Value side skirts. Just giving you a heads up if you didn't hear.
