thanx , i had to look out the window and watch the trees go by, which convinced me that i was actually moving never felt this type of smoothness in any car, not to mention the silence in the cabin.

thanx, and yes i thought of tints. as a matter of fact i'm still thinking about tints. i had a SP GS with tints and was pulled over and given a ticket for each window, i don't mind fish bowling... but then again ....... who am i kidding i hate fish bowling. wheels and tint will be my first mods.

Cripes! What did that little interruption to your regularly scheduled travels run you?

Let me guess: $250 for initial tint, 4X$100 for violation, $350 for removal and legal retint. Total $1,000.

actually it was slightly cheaper than your calculations . Lexus installed the tints $300.00, tickets for 2 front windows $240.00, Lexus removed the tint because the cop damaged them with the tint meter, Lexus replaced the tint right after removal, free of charge, i was given a receipt for the removal of the tint by Lexus, i showed the judge the receipt for the tint removal and i beat the tickets but still had to pay a $100.00 surcharge... so you weren't too far off. $400.00 not to mention the price of the pain and suffering .

Now, I'm not going to be able to sleep at night. I'm OK on the windshield, but I'm just under the lower limit (nominal less allowance) for the sides. I think rear is exempted due to dual outside mirrors. So, my nightmare is all four side windows and my calculation would be about right then. Fingers crossed...

the tints on your back windows are fine, it's the 2 front and maybe the windshield that are of concern to the cops... At least that's what I observed because they never even tested or commented on the back windows. IDK if it's different in your state.

Well you know what they say, it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission!
