Default The Comprehensive Tint Thread

Hey guys,

I went through all 10 pages after a search for "tint" and didnt find anything like this so....

Let's make this a database of tint % accompanyed with a photo of your car.

This should help members make decisions on what tint % they may want, and how it looks on the SC.


Information to list:
Year
Car Color
Tint %


Additionally, if you have tinted headlights and/or tail lights post the info here along with pics.

Sound like a good idea? Or maybe I'm just way too bored at work....

more like 100%...the percentage means the amount of light that is allowed to pass.
