Looking good man!! Keep up the good work! That tint is really dark especially with the windshield tinted. I was going to do mine but decided I like the crystal clear windshield view and settled with a 5% eyebrow

^^ Leave them stock, with a little bit of brake dust they look plenty dark with just enough gloss showing through Plus they seem to be in mint condition hence no need to shell out extra cash to get them powdercoated.
