Gotta love the before and after pics, really shows how much has been done, despite having an "OEM+" look. Looks so clean and classy, yet improved dramatically compared to stock.

Awesome look, Ricky. I just bought an 08 CBP UA6 and could not be happier. Let me know if you ever look to upgrade those wheels. I'm definitely in the market for some gunmetal aspecs.

After a long overdue tint job I finally had tinteduptls redo my tint. If any locals in chicago need his number let me know. Super cool guy and his work is solid. I had him do 35% all the way around including the windshield. Couldn't regret the decision even a little bit. 35 seems to match the color better with the windshield tinted. It's a little bit more difficult to see at night out of the front and slightly reduces visibility but I wouldn't do it any different.

Tint looks good Ricky. I almost had him do my windshield (with only 50%) but I backed out at the end due to not wanting to get hassled for it.

Thanks mane, honestly I think 50 wouldn't b that dark. I'm sure it would help out a bit with driving comfort tho. However, coming from 20% my opinion on darkness is slightly biased lol. It's definitely noticeable that the windshield is ti te but if I get pulled over hopefully they just meter the door windows and see that it is 35 and legal.

You didn't have the rest of your windows done by him did you?

I did not. I actually went to a shop in Barrington that does MotorWerks of Barrington's cars. I probably would have had Jose do them, but I had it tinted the day after I brought it home. Didn't know as much about what AZ's members had to offer at the time.
