Default Finally got the windows tinted.

Couldnt stand being without tinted windows. sunlight/headlights blinding the **** outta me.

oh, btw, i suck at photography







20% all around, now i gotta find a shop willing to tint my windshield.

oh did i mention my photography skills suck. lol.

bah, also found a sound clip i had of the exhaust. just a quick one, sounds better in person imo.

looks great. I did the same on mine and it makes a huge difference. I might even go a little darker like 15%. I know of some places that will do your windshield, but they wont do it very dark.
