Just posting some recent pics of the "Surfer". Only mods done are the Vaistech ipods adapter and recent tinting(40%). Also did LED front and rear turn signals from VLEDS. I know im slow in doin things but i wanna take some time to make sure i like what im doin. Will update periodically.

 

Beautiful car, looks very nice..I like the tint a lot.

 

Lookin good, my buddy has one exact except chrome rims. Silver never looks dirty.

 

She beautiful with her shades on, very nice looking 430!

 

looking good. got any photos or video of the LED turn signals? curious how much a different look they give.

 

That's a dark looking 40%

 

Thats what i thought but the roll of tint said 40%. I was thinking maybe the factory tint already installed may have darkened it a bit.

 

The tints look great. Gives me an idea of how mine will look once I settle on how dark to go.

 

Who's 40% is that? That's what I want- not too dark- I just want that ray ban look. I'm tired of dark tint on my car. I used to say why bother with 35 or 40, but I guess I am getting older and my tastes are changing. I just want a classy smoke for my black beauty

 

Originally i thought it was too dark but after about two days of drying, it turned out quite nicely. Although i still like the no tint look that gives the car an original look to it, my car now has a different personality. It makes the car say "I'm almost a bad boy but not quite" LOL.

 

Does anyone know a good tinting shop in Richmond VA?

 

EXACTLY- you always hit the nail on the head. What is the brand of the tint?

 

anybody know a good Tinting shop in Dallas? how much usually cost?

 

Technics Window Tinting in Euless did a great job on my UL for $150 (including tax!), with a lifetime warranty for the purchaser.

I went back and had them install the "Venture" clear bra for $450 total.

These guys were meticulous and took their time.

 

That's a damn good looking car..with tint or without! As I paid more attention to your tint pictures moreso than others, because my LS is silver and I'm seriously contemplating tint, I have a question...

Is it common for the tint NOT to cover the center brake light area? Do some tint installers remove the center brake light assembly in order to get the back glass 100% covered? I know it will reduce the appeared brightness of the center brake light when viewed from the rear, but just wondering if there's a "normal" or "standard" way the rear window is tinted, or is it about 50/50 on how many shops tint 100% vs tint around the center brake light?

Not sure if I like the "tint around" the brake light assembly look. It makes the tint appear more of an added-on item vs. stock look.
