    Cool Tinted up Gold Style

    ok, well for the 4 years or so i've been driving my accord i've wanted to get it tinted. now that i have my ac fixed i decided to get the tint done. my friend kinda helped talk me into it and i've really happy with how it looks. anyway, its called metal edge tint, not sure on the brand name. its limo tint with a gold tone to it. looks really sharp in person. i'm going to try and get some better pix in the day so y'all can actually see what it looks like. i spent $200 even. sounds like a lot and i thought so myself but this is what i wanted and didnt want to skimp and get something i really didnt want. anyway, check out the pix. this tints fuggin A+.

    i hope you checked with your local law before you put that tint on. Here in maryland, you can't have that dark. they will rape you in the ass if you have dark tint.

    Re: Tinted up Gold Style

    its legal. limo rear and 35% in the front. here they dont really mess with you about little bs like that even if it isnt legal here in my city, but i know about maryland, virginia, dc, um yeah they're dick up there eh? boy does it make it stay cold inside the car. and i love that i can see alright through it at night fairly well. as for the 3rd brake light, i think i may get a new one so it looks nicer. or maybe just dress it up some, i dunno yet, but i like how it looks. i was gonna try and get some day pix to show the gold tone it has but it really doesnt show up in pix. maybe this afternoon i can get some good pix. oh and just for reference, new tint does have a smell. someone said something about that in another thread.

    Yeah that tint looks good man. Nice and dark. The gold tone kinda reminds me of the tints on the SEi, looks good with your car.

    Re: Tinted up Gold Style

    Looks good. I agree about the tail light though, my tint shop didnt even ask they just pulled the light and tinted that area too, which is good because that's what they are supposed to do. If they're careful they could probably just put a small piece there and the lip of the light itself would hide the seam, probaby would never be able to tell.

    Also, what kind of rims are those? Looks tight, would kick ass if you lowered it a couple inches

    Re: Tinted up Gold Style

    ^^^every state has his own laws.....in california you can have 55 in the back and 70% in the front but the front is going to change to nothing cuz i called a tint place and they said now its against the law to put any tint in the front...it also depends on the cop that pulls your over.
