Default New Tint

Hey everybody. I finally pulled the trigger on tint. 35% front and 20% rear and back. I couldn't be happier with the job. I should have done this two years ago!! Next up HID's then a new exhaust.

Thanks for the comments.

Teal, my bumper started looking bad last winter and its gotten worse. I keep hoping I get rear ended so I can get it fixed for free, but so far no luck. bought new tires about 2 years ago so I'm going to wait on rims until the tread is gone. I have to say it's killing me though. Stock blows IMO.

Bigmalik, the difference in the overall look of the car is night and day. Go back and search my other posts. There is a similar shot from the side without tint. It's amazing the different look it gives.

Dr. Zeus, no ceramic plans. Not sure what that even is?

Vic, I called three different places in my area (St. Louis) and got the same quote, $200 installed. I was hoping for $150, but feel it was worth it. One had a 5 year warranty and two were lifetime. I went with the shop that did the tint on my friends car. I couldn't be happier.
