Default I Love Having a Tinted Windshield at Night

I think the car looks like one big piece with the tinted windshield. My windows are 20% all around and the windshield is 35%. I took some pics in the garage so you all can see what I mean. Seeeeeeeee:

Very nice ,now you can do car commercials.
I don't think any place lets you tint a front windsheild or atleast any area that teh wipers touch.

No its the same as looking out of the side windows that are tinted. In the day time its good for keeping the sun out too

LMAO
now everyone will think some black guy driving the car.

I love how in commercials they have the windows completly tinted.

The best thing when tints are questionable is to always open the sunroof and make sure the lights are on inside the car when being pulled over.

You have one nice car to start with for sure.
The one mod i would love to do is have a black on black car.
It would be all black ,from smoke lights to windows to the grille ,the rims even the exhaust.
I die when i see a blacked out car when it is a nice one.
Then again i walk by my new car all day and still can't belive it is mine since i have only had it 2 months or so. The funny thing is i spent 8 years modding my ES and maybe 8 weeks for the LS and i am about done.
