Nice Tint! That street looks alot like the GTA. Where did you go to get it done and how much? I wanted your blue colour but the wife chose the one in the backgroud.

your wife probably chose the silver b/c of good resale value =)

i went to Thornhill Tint in Richmond Hill to get it done, with lifetime warranty. I got it for cheap b/c my friend hooked us up through the GM dealer connection. But without it, you can probably get it for $230 no tax for all your windows plus sunroof done (if u hv sunroof).

Looks like they did a good job. Somehow, Nick's 35% looks darker than the 20% at the back of your car... Maybe it's the lighting??

Personally, I'd rather have lighter tint all the way around or no tint at all than different tints from the front door to back.

That was just the lighting, but in the sunlight, mine still looks darker than E-Diddy's, and I agree with what you said... Having different tints on front and back is IMO... That's why I kept the same all around.

I'veonly been pulled over once, and the tint was a secondary offence...

first off maxx, it's impossible that your 35% tint be darker than my 20% for the back. But i do agree that same % tint all around looks more clean. O well, i like how my car turned out anywyz. plus adding the 5% sunstrip in the front looks good.

Maybe they used 20% on mine, even though I asked for 35%... Who knows. It is darker though.

At least I don't need a front lisence plate!

well no offense, but i used to drive a nice R33 which i had 10% on which although is 25% under the legal looked sick all day round....
but try doing a reverse park at night, or trying to pick whether there are any cops around at night when you blast someone from the lights.... all i can say is Good Luck!! lol

its looks sweet but makes driving hell at night, you visibility drops chronically
