    Talking I love the smell of new TINT in the morning

    Just has the car tinted took it to the same place as last time Auto Mall Tint Specialist where they do an awesome job imo

    I decided to go with 50 on the fronts, 30 on the rears, and 15 on the back glass. The rears were actually out of my old car.. i had pulled the front rollups too but they got hella scratched when the body shop switched them


    on with the pics

    AFTER:

    yeah, those stupid mirror tints which reflect the sunlight in your eyes and those colored ones with mirror on the bottom and color on top, those are just ugly

    Anyway, it looks great! Now wash your damn windows so we can see it better.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: I love the smell of new TINT in the morning

    maybe it just looks dirty cause it's not dry yet.. or maybe the tint place got something on the glass

    yeah i knoe...i was talking about his tint cuz it does not look as dark...my friend does tint but he lives in san jose. i may go with like 10% on the back and 50% for the fronts...i dont care about the back glass i think its better when it matches and you can tell the diff between the front and back ones cuz the cops can be dicks about it.

    it was almost noon on a hella sunny day so it might have made it seem lighter. i have a light colored interior which reflects more light too. the back roll up windows are the identical glass as the 88 LX i had, and the rear

    plus i didnt get 5% all around i prefer to go a bit lighter which i think is classier and also keeps the po po away

    It's probably the sun.
    Take pictures when the sun is rising or setting. That's when you get the best light conditions.

    Re: I love the smell of new TINT in the morning

    some of the pics make it seem kinda light (like the shot of the rear.. the tint looks as light as the doors) prolly cause it was right around noon. i'll take some more pix when the sun isn't beating making tint appear nonexistent haha
