Your car looks good with 55% and black interior. My car has beige interior unfortunately, wife wanted that color. I'm wondering if 55% might be too light for my car, but with lighter tint it's easier to see the surroundings during night.

Safety first

thanks man! it looks way better in person.

the only reason i went 55% is cause i have black interior. I felt 35% would be too dark. But for you, 35% might work. Let me know if you need a tint recommendation. I got mine done at eliteo2 in fremont.

Are you wrapping the roof or painting it? I spoke to one shop for a roof wrap and they said I would have to take the fin off myself if I wanted it wrapped.

Taking it to a shop. Doing 3M vinyl. They will do it all. PM me, we can chat about it. I'll tell you who's doing mine.

Latest pic with the new mudflaps ha! I think it looks good. The black matches up with the matte black wheels nicely.

I ended up with 30% ceramic tint all around including the moon roof minus the windshield. Also got the clear bra and they did a custom job to wrap the whole hood.

Your car will be easy to identify as yours. tint, black wheels and mud flaps. The mud flaps actually looks fine with your wheels. Nice.

oh thats awesome. I am now considering doing the windshield either 55% or 70%. I'm not sure about you, but I get quite a bit of glare in my tach/speedo when the sun is out.

Ha yeah, one of a kind so far. Any plans to throw wheels on yours?

Will the windshield be too dark at night for you? My wife wanted the windshield tinted too but I have a hard enough time seeing at night as it is. I'm already paranoid that a cop is going to pull me over for the front driver and pass. window tint.

I tend to curb every once in a while, once my wheels are jacked then I'll think about new ones. I have been thinking about a new exhaust thou. But I spent my car allowance on the tint and bra so I have to save up some funds before I do anything else.

Not if you tint it light enough. 55% for sure will be dark, so 70% might be better. Only way to know is go to the tint shop and have them put the window film up for you to see in the windshield.

Ah yeah, wheels totally make the car. If you ever do wheels, go for 20s. Drives so much better than stock, looks better too!
