Wow. You NBP guys are really making a WDP guy drool 
! It it were not for the high maintenance of keeping a NBP clean, I would have gotten it. I never tire of looking at them.

I went to Mr. Tint and he was able to tint that back corner window to the edge. Quality said the same thing to me.. that they couldn't do it.

Thanks Cheetah! What do you think of 35%? Too dark, too light? Looks perfect to me... originally I was thinking about going 20% all the way around, but I don't want to attract too much attention. I've already received two tickets for not having a front license plate... while I was parked (and not receiving a parking violation ticket or anything). Cops around here are anal.

I have a friend who has 5% all around on his Black on Black RSX-s and it looks sweet.. but he has gotten 2 tickets by the highway patrol. The local guys don't care one way or another he says.. just the highway patrol.
If I could have.. I would have gone 20% all around. but 35% is nice.. It is a nice look on the car and it is definitely cooler in the summer.

Keep Right Except to Pass
Here's mine, taken last April. If it ever stops raining I think it will be time to devote a Sunday afternoon to a full-on fall detailing of similar effort.

My 4 week old 05, 15% Llumar all around just put on yesterday, and a few other minor things (see sig)
before delivery:
mmmm......clean
tint is good, so is a shaved rear end!

I haven't met a lot of TL owners, but it seems like I see more and more on the road every day.
Thanks for the tip on Mr. Tint. I may have to have him redo the rear quarters next Summer. Are you happy with the job he did?

I am not feeling that parchment at all.

Go for the parchment! Fake wood belongs on Buicks and people over 65 (IMO)! CF Trim all the way!

One on the right for me
^-i love the front end of that car.
im still going back and forth with regards to smoking the tail lights...im probably not going to do it because i like the contrast between the red and black.

I didnt tint the headlights. If you want to tint them, get the rockblocker kit. I had my housing painted with OEM NBP paint. It gives the headlights more of a projector look.
