Dont know why the pictures showed up so blurry, that sucks.

Thanks! But yeah its already a cop magnet, so, no biggie. I'll pay the tickets.
 
So is tinting the sides anything darker than 35% (where I live at anyway). If I'm going to be illegal, might as well go all out.
 
There is a difference between getting a ticket for illegal window tint and having an unsafe car with a tinted windshield. I hope that you don't drive on dark unlit roads and that you have bright headlights. You do know that you are going to get sued and be at fault if you get into an accident with a tinted windshield right?
 
Thats the only reason i don't tint my car because of the cops. Here in Michigan the tint ticket can be up to 85 bucks. So no tint for me i rather spend that 85 bucks on something performance wise. But red and black looks good.

Yes I do drive down dark roads, I live in the country, and I just have plain ol silverstar headlights.
Have you ever driven a car with a tinted windshield?

And to the people talking about tickets, where I live you have to pay like $150 for a tint ticket, unless you take it off.
 
i guess im just lucky here in arkansas 30 is the legal limit, but not enforced at all, unless used on windshield then its only like 1 out of 10 cops who will be a dick about and write a ticket.
 
there is a 35% law around here but no one enforces it EXCEPT highway patrol. Local police officers are very lenient about it.. i have 5% with 40% on my windshield... looks great and keeps the car nice and cool!
 
Yea, where I live the limit is also 35% but ive seen plenty of cadillacs with like 5% all the way around and cops dont seem to pull them over, but windshield could potentially be a problem for you, but hey it looks nice on your spyder :dsm:

He doesn't care. Judging by his posts in this thread he is young and hasn't grown out of his "rebel" stage... He will learn one day. I must admit the tint looks good but it's not worth the troubles you will run into with the law.
 
I like the look. Very clean, although the red across the top is more personal preference.
Seriously, I like what you've done, but seriously, I won't drive if I know you're on the road with me.


Have any more pics? Interior, looking out, would be nice so we can see how dark it really is from the inside.

Nope but I've seen one at an audio shop and it was the most retarted thing that I've ever seen. But hey, whatever floats your boat. I just think it is very unsafe and it is going to get you into more trouble than you know.
 
Any thing under 50% is illegal where i live. Just roll with the windows down and say its how it came from the factory.
 
i got 5% on my sides and 2.5% on the back glass of my 77 f-150 and its dark as shit as night. i wouldnt do the windshield tinting. looks good but not for me
 
5% percent tint so you can't see up in my window LOL... here the legal limit is 27% but all my friends have 5%

dude tint your windshield 5% and ill pay for it!!! then we can race for 500 on a road with like a million turns and lets see who wins or live :D. but off subject you shouldn't of bought new lights and bumper, im kinda liking the smilely face bumper, its differnt :D. im going to do this to your new lights and bumper :beatentodeath: so you can pimp the smile :D
