If I was a cop pulling you over, I'd have my weapon drawn, simply because I wouldn't be able to see into the vehicle... it's illegal for a reason. I don't really see that it's worth the hassle, not to mention the obvious vision difficulties it's causing you, which endanger yourself and others. Not a rant, just

To avoid the "cop with weapon drawn" scenario - here's an idea, put the windows down before he approaches the car!
It is a ***** if they make you scrape it off on the scene before you drive away - I've had this happen. They even carry a scraper for this purpose sometimes.

Just my $.02 and the only reason I got 5% is because I have good vision. If I had bad vision, I would have gotten something lighter.

Question: I want to get some rims, 19x5 as well how is the ride? Any issues with rubbing? I am also going to drop my ride once they make parts for the AWD. AWD isn't getting as much attention as the RWD's.

New Yorkers huh? Thats funny, im from Bklyn myself. Phat ride Mike, i was going to go with the SGM but then decided against it when i saw the crystal white.Plus my RX330 is Flint Mica (same color). Dealership said its commin in on the 26th. I cant wait another day to get it. I have 5 percents on my RX and it looks official on the dark car. I dont think im going to go as dark, ill probably end up with 20% or maybee 15, especially on a white car i think 5's would be to dark.
