Default WI

I dont know about WI, but if you call a service gas station (one where you can get an inspection sticker), a mechanic there should know.

Good observation my brother...

I second that - I've got 35% tint and made sure I was legal putting it on. Keep in mind the factory windows have a small amount of tint, so 35% is the total tint allowed. I think they put 32% 3M tint on mine.


Jonny -sent you a pm about our Sept meet.

Mine matches the back but it is 20%, to match exactly. If you do get pulled over make sure your window is down and your hands on the wheel before the officer gets to you. No problem.

ObiDon - that tint does look PERFECT! I've gotta do a little more checking on the laws here in WI...

I think it was a 3M product. Just had our Sequoia done to match as well. It is 20% to match exactly, and Spinteews right, from the inside looking out it is not an exact match. Mine looks a little on the blue side next to the back.

Is it illegal to have tint on windshield? In NC that is.

Default Jonnystan (QUESTION)

Hey man, just wondering about your body kit, did you buy it at EREBURNI? I just want to know the fitment of the pieces, do the sides fit perfectly, any modification required?? HOw about the rear apron, any mods to make it fit ? Thanx

I bought the kit from NOPI, not erebuni (got a better price). I got the local body shop to install it, and to the best of my knowlege everything fit fine. I will say though, if you really scrutinize it you can tell that it is aftermarket and not OEM, but I mean REALLY scrutinize it. Overall I love it, its my favorite mod

Why thank you! This has to be the best forum I have found for te RX300 yet!

Unfortunately for me I live in Massachusetts and the tint limit is 35%, which is what I have on my truck. It definately is not dark enough!!
