Default Finally got my 5% tint

Around 6 months ago I took all my tint off cause it was starting to get a purpleish tint to it. Last weekend I finally got it re-tinted..5%, man it feels good to be "hidden" again!!

Very nice, love that black look... I wouldved liked to do 5% as well, but I wear glasses and it's hard for me to see at night.

I'm thinking the next project is going to be exhaust. Is there one that will stay chrome?

I'm born and raised in New Orleans. Right now I'm living in Florida (job related) and the pic was taken at a lady friend of mines house. Although I have been to Blue Bayou water park in Baton Rouge!

I'm thinking the same thing. My buddy had 5% on his civic and he gave up on looking out of his rear window because he couldn't see anything

What makes it hard to see at night is the reflection of the speedo and the radio etc. Daytime isn't that bad.

hey, i also have 5% all around. backing up at night is hard, but some friends have told me to put some small offroad lights somewhere below my bumper and wire it with my reverse lights so that i can see alittle bit better. i dont think i will do this, but it could work.

That looks great! I was going to get 5% but the shop said that they have had about 90% of the people come back and get it off because of cop problems. I ended up getting 19%, I think it looks great, I even have some trouble backing up when it is night. Looks great though!
