19'' TSWs down on Tein SS--NEW PICS

Here are some quick shots after my SS. I know, they have been on for a while and I never posted pics. Enjoy! Any suggestions are welcome. (I know a new camera would be a good suggestion)










^^I love my tinted windshield..The cops hate it

Nice car, but something about your camera lens is s t r e t c h i n g out the pics. In the first two pics your car looks like a long wheelbase version of our car.

Is there any finger Gap between the Front Rim and the Fender? I have Tein-SS and my front have about 2 Finger Gap. I think its because of the new Koni-Yellows.

Nice stance. What are the wheel specs and tire size? And are you still running with any negative camber?

Do you have Tein SS coilovers? Or do you have Tein S-Tech lowering springs on Koni yellow struts? They are two different things...

The wheels are 19x8, 40 offset. The tires are 225/35/19. The place I got it aligned at is awesome, and got my camber and toe perfect, so no negative at all. They obviously wouldnt have been able to do that without the SPC camber kits, but it only took them an hour. The first place I went to had it for days before figuring out they didn't have the tool to do the rear

It really isn't hard to see out of at all. Now, you do have to get used to it. I wouldnt say it impairs your vision, it just appears darker outside and you don't need sunglasses as much. lol. Mine is tinted 35%, the rest of the windows are 15%. I love it, the TL is the second car I've done it to.

I have about a half finger gap in the front, and a 1 finger gap in the rear. Like AMGala said, you must be using just the springs. Im on the SS coilovers.

I'm guessing you got the tints to be legal through a waiver right?

That's what I'm doing.

Going to the DMV this weekend to take my eye test because glares and the sun make me squint. and I have small asian eyes already! LOL.

If I pass I'm going to do the same percentage as yours. and if a cop pulls me over...I show him my waiver and I'm FREE!!!

BTW Sexy car man. Love how you put it together.

Nice look. Your tint is mad dark though, I'm surprised you haven't gotten a ticket for that yet.

it looks long and stretched out because i'm guessing you are taking the pics from pretty close with no zoom action. try taking a couple steps back and zooming in just a hair so your pics will look more natural and not fish eyed.

car looks great by the way.

what % are all of your windows including the windshield tinted?? i have 20% all around (minus the windshield) and find that i want it to be a little darker so i was going to do the windshield... how much darker does having the windshield tinted make the other windows look?? and hows visibility at night

My sides and rear are 15%. The windshield is 35%. It will darken the others up a bit. Visibilty is fine, you just have to get used to it. I have a friend with 20% all around and 35% on the windshield and it looks good. Do it!!

Oh no! Are those license plate mounting holes I see in the front bumper?!?!

Very no!

Car must've been at some unlucky dealer that didn't want to purchase the front mounting brackets that mount through the bottom bumper grill.

But otherwise, beautiful car!

Thanks! Yea, it was drilled into the bumper-AND mounted below. I will prolly end up buying a new front bumper. It will also get rid of a few rock chips while Im at it. lol.

there's such a thing? how does one go about initiating the test? "hey guys, i'm sensitive to light and squints a lot" and once im in the test, is there any tips? like getting those drops that make your pupils dilate so you're super sensitive?

i really like the stance and just the appearance of your entire car. everything flows very well. you should do something about your headlights though. it will really make a difference. before i did mine i was hesistant, but after i put them on, it really made my car stand out.

It very hard to get a pass for dark windows. Ive tried, don't even waste your time or money.

i'm going an alternate route to get passed for tint.... my grandma just had eye surgery for cataracts and she doesnt drive so im having her take the form for legal tint to the eye doctor and saying my car is her source of transportation and that the sun bothers her while she is in it ... this will be happening on oct 8th if anyone is interested if this works out i can give u a follow up
