I have admit I do wish from time to time that my tint was darker, but I remeber how annoying it can be when you are rounding a corner at night and you cant see well. I have sooo many kids on my street

good point about the cops. I never thought of that because it legal to tint windows in AZ. But in a place like LA its just an excuse for the cops to pull you over. I remeber one night I was coming around a corner at the top of the street while it was raining and I had to stop very short to avoid hitting a lady crossing the street

Its like 2 colors in one. when the sun is directly on it it looks blue where the light hits the body directly. The shaded area will look black. at night the car has a black appearance but during the day I get a little blue and the color of the car will darken as the sun goes down. you can see it in the pics. They were taken at the end of the day so the light levels progressively get lower and lower.
You can see the variation in the color in this picture really wee. see how the bumper and the front of the hood looks blue, but the fender and the side the car will look black. I like this black saphire pearl. Cool color, and I dont see any other members with this color. kinda weird

Yeah it gets annoying for me to roll down my window everytime I see a cop. Its also hard to pass the state vehicle inspection in TX with dark tint. Last time I got my inspection done, I drove in there with the front 2 windows down and sunroof open...I passed! haha

I dont know why the color is so rare. Its so similar to straight black. I thought it was a cool alternative to black. two colors for the price of one.lol I also like the glacier frost. Its white with a bluish tint. I thought the blue would look nicer with chrome wheels, plus my wife was into the blue more.
