^^^ excellent demonstration of tint under different lighting conditions! a step further would be to show the front and rear view. and have your is-f tails in one of the shots.

Thanks. It was just a quick grab of old shots to help a member on another thread. I probably have similar comparo shots at different angles (I'll look and try to post later).

Good eye on the tails.....I knew someone would realize it. I don't think I've even taken any pics since putting the F tails on

35% all around

the rears just look lighter because there is no tint on the front windsheild, thus resulting more light to enter inside and cause the tint to look lighter.

Hey chrisIS250.

Remember me weeks ago at Buffalo Wild Wings?

Your car looks good.

I was wondering what type and where you got your tints. I have 20% all around but the job quality could of been better.

I doubt it would be that noticeable, but 35% all around isn't bad either. My dad has 35% all around on his S550 (Madico Charcool) and it looks great. I'd probably go for a bit darker though. I think 20% all around is nice.
