I just got my back 5 windows tinted with sungard. Used 5% film and with factory tint it lets about 2% light through. Looks awesome! And it only cost me $150, twenty bones cheaper than any other shop in the area. I'm goign to take some pics right now, but i'll have to get them developed and scanned b4 i post any.... I'll take a few of my OHD grill too. And some more when my front clear corners come in...

hehe, and i'll still be stock.... (k&n panel filter doesn't count)

Cooool...

I never realized how much cooler it is in the car with tints. And being in SoCal, you need it. I think that's the best thing besides my handling upgrades I plan to do.

Quick question, did you remove the tints yourself?
Didn't it leave rsidue and gooey stuff all over the place?
Time is running it out for me... i might have to have that done. Inspection time is soon.

Actually its 5% limo tint, but with the stock tint on the windows (all new windows have a tiny bit on them) it combines to be darker. he used a light tester like cops do and it showed up at 2%. I just took it out tonight and if there's no light behind e its pitch black. with light behind me i can see just fine. I might have to upgrade my reverse lights though...

But, it looks awesome.

And no, i got the k&n the other day, i was just saying i've spent so much dang money on the car and I'm still stock...

And I wll stay stock for a while! I can hold off the mod bug! I can!
