Default 2 questions.

1.) what % tint do you have?

2.) Those rings are ABT right? Where do you get them. (To lazy to search)

Car looks great, looking forward to my 4th coat of Zaino this weekend, can't get too many coats of that stuff on your car. And, it is so easy, you can do it after every wash.

Default Currently 35%...darkest legal...getting it changed to 15% maybe this weekend...

I wanted it darker from the beginning, but the guy that did it convinced me to go with 35. Afterwards, I still wanted it darker so he's going to fix me up. I got the rings through Advanced Motorsport Solutions in Cali. Call 949-515-1672 and ask for Doug. They had them in stock when I called, but he sells them fast.

Did you have to remove the grille to install the rings?

No, you just use a flat screwdriver and the old rings just pop off!

Default just curious...

not being a tinting type myself, can you explain why you are tinting yours so dark? because you like the looks, or other reasons too? do you find any negative effect re: outward visibility? do you get hassled by the police?
just wondering what you point of view is.
