I was just passing though East Oakland today and saw one LS400 donk. It was painted candy blue and must have been on 24s. Windows down and a joint by E40 was slumpin though the speakers. Common to see them there but when I see donks I think more of the sideshow than I do a dealer.

Woo! I'll tint the whole thing, it's just I want a cool upper/lower windshield banner haha

Mrthekid

i get pulled over and followed alot in mine. one cop tried looking in back window and couldnt see so he asked if he peak in and look to make sure no one was pointing a gun at him lol...im sure he didnt expect to see a skinny white guy to be driving though...i have 5% in back and 20% in the front

Jeremiah87

lol same thing happens to my friend Kelly (skinny white dude who looks like a surfer) when he drives around in his pearl white Escalade on 24s. He has some good stories of getting stopped and profiled by the police. He inherited the Escalade when his father passed away.

We also have similar tint set up, I too have 5% in back but up front is 15%.
BTW what color is your interior? Tan interior always make tint look lighter which is the reason I prefer 5% for light colored interiors but if my interior was black I would be happy with 15% or 20% all around.

Mrthekid

lol i could only imagine. i dint think my car would get that much attention from the cops ( since its all stock) but i mean i guess they're just doing thier jobs. mine has tan interior but still very dark in the back cant see in at all wether its day or night might be changing it to 20% or 15% all around soon

Jeremiah87

Dont you just love tint? I love it for the privacy/function and of course the looks.

15% all around would be perfect.

I might have the front 15% removed and replaced with 5% to match the back.

You gotta get those OEM Celsior rear curtains maaaang. Nothing says privacy/function/baller like a set of (power) rear curtains.

Jeremiah87

Lol I was always on the fence about curtains, but with tan or even grey interior its a no go in my opinion. It only works with black interiors, and if there are tan curtains then that is just not a good look.

I have finally come to terms with my interior...but next car I will be getting black.

I wouldn't mind a rear sunscreen that goes up and down like what you see in the BMWs/Mercedes cars.

Now the rear sunscreen idea sounds verrry cool indeed. The OEM curtains are actually white Here are a couple pictures of them on a UCF1x:



Tan curtains look pretty clean if you ask me, and a little photo evidence


but since you've got the grey interior, I'd say go black or OEM. Check out Junction Produce, Garson DAD and Belezza as they make curtains. Color availability differs between them. Or, better yet, DIY so you can add some J(eremiah87)DM style

I like tint, but past a certain %, it is just cop-bait!

Jeremiah87

LOL I wish I had grey interior! Even better if black but I have tan/beige interior.

DIY curtains can look sick, just go to Joann Fabric...they have some pretty unique material. Diamond quilt would be different.

And LScowboyLS, true but I have been good so far. Then again my situation awareness is always on....it pays to pay attention.



Tan interior/curtains/etc. in a white car aint bad...kinda looks classy.

Some Lexus vehicles (like mine) have them too. It's also nice how it automatically goes down temporarily when you put the car in Reverse.
