Default Smokey Granite Mica IS250 on black G-Spiders

Hey Guys,

Just threw on some 18" Black G-spiders on my IS250. Let me know what you think and if I should tint my windows and if so, how dark?

oh well i was going to say, I have mine tinted 20% all the way around with the window tinted 35% but the cops from where im from are more laid back than in cali, so I am thinking you should go legal with it, but your car looks great!

nice wheels

I'd go with 15-20% all around if you can get away with it in cali.

If not, then 15-20% in the back with a nice 30-40% fade up in the front. You got a black interior so the fade wouldn't be that light up front. Just open your sunroof when you see cops.

i've never understood the reason for making the rear illegal and the sides legal... i made my rear legal and sides illegal, why~ cuz the cops usually pull up behind you so if your rear is legal and they pull you over, you can roll down the sides as they walk up...

I'd probably leave everything else alone and consider tinting your windows. Can't have everything too dark.. otherwise it'll be overkill~~~

20% all around would work.. keeps you nice and cool in the summer.... but be prepared to get harassed by cops.
