I got that from the junkyard off a Sebring and I like it yellow and purple are dope colors haha that the only color I'll have in the engine bay everything else will be black except the engine mounts there red can't really change that
 
hey Arnie, First off, i would look at getting a 20 or a 30 tint on your car... my Sonata has a 20% and on the black car looks a lot darker... then again my efo has a 15% blue metallic, and its so nice against the blue efo... but looks WAY DARK

Hey Augustin, did you ever make it back to Oside? last i checked you didnt even belong in the SoCal thread LOL

as for meets, Im no longer a DSM owner so would be crashing your meets LOL

Let's see if this works

So the Sonata has a 20% Llumar tint

the Efo has a 15% 3M Ceramic Metallic Blue tint

It was expensive, but the quality of tint and work is amazing

Where can i pick up an Efo? :cool: ROFL :D :thumb: :sneaky: :applause: :tease:

Your Evo has 15% tint? That looks dark as hell!!!! I love the blue and dark tint! I'd take that over a relationship any day! ROFL LOL :rocks::aha:

Also thanks for the effort in providing tint information! <3 :dsm:


Also quick question bro, if people get close enough to your Evo, can they see through the tint? or would they have to cup their hands to see inside? ;s

Also when your driving and look to turn, is it to dark? D:
Just trying to find tint before I go to tint area and say can I see this tint? then that tint, etc....

the 15% on mine is a Ceramic so its even darker then a regular 15%, plus much more expensive...

Cant really see into my car at anytime unless my windshield is pointed at the sun, and then its a slightly plausible if your lucky LOL

its dark while driving but easier to look out then in...

as for personal perception, i would highly recommend a 20% or 30% tint... i dont regret my tint though, because i wanted the Blue ceramic

Just make sure it's Cali legal you don't want cops being assholes to you and getting tickets


Oh yeah arnie I also found my black 2ga bumpers I have two white and black if you want them hit me up
 
FYI, just throwing this out there, 70% is the darkest you can LEGALLY get the fronts tinted in the state of CA and it's "whatever goes" on the back ones. Out here in AZ there's still window tint laws on the fronts, it's 33%, however, I went 20% because the difference is so small it's hard to eyeball that difference but a CHP can DEFINITELY tell 20-30% over 70% I think.

That's their favorite reason to initially pull tuner cars over, window tint, then they get to pop the hood and check everything else you don't want them to and it was because you had tinted windows.

Your cars though, just forewarning you.

Yeah I plan on having the papers that say my tint at all times! I looked into it a month ago you can have max 30% tint in California... -.-

70% of light has to go in from the driver / passenger side... You can tint the top part of the windshield, but not all of it... Once again a bummer...


Am I wrong or do I have it backwards?????? on the tint for the front window???



Are you stalking me!!!??? D:

I was just talking about bumpers today!!!! I sent a message to Kris asking him where was that shop I could buy a front/back bumper for my car in San Ysidro!

I am thinking of converting to 2GB , but I would need the 2GB headlights + bumpers + reverse lights!

Then I messaged another bro off the forums asking how much he would charge to paint the bumpers for me! :s

I shall send you a Message!!! :thumb:

Good looking out LOL my front bumper is broken and has zip ties... previous owner... -.-

As long as it has a life time warrenty! or bubble warrenty I wouldn't mind on the price! :hellyeah:

I definately need to look into it!

I'm going to make a thread and see what people think of me! LOL

All this got me confused So what's the darkest it can be on the front windows?

70% front Corey said. The other windows can be as dark as they want. Windshield's are illegal to tint, but maybe the top little area may be possible.
