pretty clean car. not really a fan of tinted tails but that looks ok to me.

it'd look a lot better if you lowered it and look for a lip kit.

i just noticed your rear window tint. i never liked the way how the tint goes over the 3rd brake light. just makes the 3rd brake light stand out.

Love the tails, but the tint cut around the 3rd brake light drives me nuts. lol

Is that film? If so where did you get it??

Any reputable tint shop should have put black vinyl on the inside of the window where the dot matrix is.

In some states tinting the 3rd brake light is illegal, that's why you probably got it like that. IMHO, I could care less tint that brake light....lol Clean NBP should have gone with 5% tint in the back 20% in the front looks really nice on a NBP.!

Yea Im not a fan of tinted lights at all and you should definitely lower the car. I always tell people that any car lowered looks good...even a POS car.

I went 35% an with the gun its 31% i wanna do 20 but the law here in MN is 50% which is total BS and i was pulled over once for the windows already. The dot matrix could i do it i should be just like doing a brow right? I know that it doesnt really wanna stick to it but it just takes time. I can do window nicely but i cant do back windows that my only problem.

O yea that will be a big problem out here cops trip to much. If they see that I would be getting pulled over everytime a cop sees me they already know who I am but that is only because I know most of them
