Yeah good call, my sis was just looking at it and thought it already looks pretty dark, I said it's just because its cloudy today, wait till its sunny out lol. Hopefully though it still looks shaded some with the sun shining in!

Congrats on the new LS! Looks great! With any luck, I hope to get one this weekend perhaps...
I agree with the others- don't go darker up front. Here in California, cops can legally pull you over for the front being too dark. My wife likes em extra dark because we drive with the sun on that side on our commute in both directions- but at night- it's a real hazard having it that dark - I hated it.

Hey yeah that was probably me in D-woody! I did end up going darker on my tints, actually like it much better as all my trucks/vehicles in the past I've always tinted dark. Still doesn't look too dark with the light colored interior. If I end up adding some rims I will letcha know as my 18s are in pretty dang good shape!

Nice! Looks a lot like my 05 before I traded it. Enjoy!

Congratulations on a great car! I have a similar one, Flint Mica. You'll love the sport suspension!

Beauty Those 18 inch wheels make all the difference, I was never able to find a set of those for my car.

Beautiful car! Congrats!

And I have to respectfully disagree with the the people who think dark tint is "ghetto."

Had 5% all around slapped on my LS the week I got it. Limo tint on flagship luxury cars is just a way to make them even more bad-a$$!

And btw I live in LA. Trust me, the cops have wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more to do than bust people for window tint. Idk about suburban LA, OC, etc, but here in the middle of the actual city cops couldn't care less. Way more fish to fry.

I agree. I live in San Diego and have never once been pulled over for window tint. I don't think cops will pull over a nice luxury car for that. What I do do though is if I'm pulled over for anything I immediately roll down the front two windows so they don't give me the fix it ticket in addition to whatever else they were pulling me over for was.
