Pretty sweet! Of course I already knew that before I looked at the pic's because you and I have the same car but I got my windows done a week ago. I went with 15%, looks like you did the same.

BTW, If you ever plan on coming through Mobile let me know. We'll have a "Two Car Show".

Does anyone know if the 15% is legal in Canada?
I'm getting a Black Max, and the 15% would be just MEEEAAANNNN!!!

Mine is supposed to be 5%, but it doesn't seem that dark to me. It's fine though, it's just soooo much better than having nothing on there.

I just happened to run into a guy I know that had a 2001 Maxima with some pretty cool 20's that sold the car and kept the rims, he said he'd let me have them and 2 sets of tires for $1000 so I should have enough saved up in a few weeks for those. Then some of those new Eibach springs and a grille will be next...

Thanks guys,

I like the Trendz billet grille without the Nissan emblem. That one looks the best to me, and I think it will look killer with it on there, and with the emblems taken off the back too. Now that I think about it, I'll try to photoshop the grille off the the Stillen website onto one of the pics of my car.

Someone posted a pic the other day with the trendz grille but I wasn't sure how it would look in person. However I saw one on an Altima this weekend and it looks great. Now I'm not sure which grille I want to go with.

Looks good except all the pictures but the first have a blue tint.
I think you have your digital camera set on tungsten light (interior), set it for daylight and the pictures won't look blue.
If it's on the "auto" mode it's exposing for the shadows and therefore making the sunlit areas look a bit blue.

I would of blurred your license plate in photoshop first too.
There are a lot of whack jobs out there.

I was using a Canon D-30 set to auto, but the first was taken about 3:00pm and the sun was absolutely horrible. That was one of the only ones that didn't have glare so bad you couldn't see much. All the ones after that I took about 7:30pm when I had just made it outside behind work. It was getting really dark, and I lightened them in Photoshop but I didn't take the blue channel back, I kind of like the darker look, but that's me.

About the license plate, what could people do with a license plate? Just come and stalk me? I can guarantee they wouldn't want to do that, unless they would like to meet my passenger Mr. Glock I understand what your saying though about crazy people out there, but I've seen alot of crazy people and the ones on here couldn't be any worse I will take the advice though since I didn't think about it at first, thanks!

Made it quite a bit louder above 4K or so. Not a bad sound though, sounds kinda beefy. Definitely made it feel faster, according to the butt dyno. Considering it only cost me $40, it's definitely worth it.

Yep, emblems coming off the same time I get my grille. That's the next thing on the list, and as soon as I get my Florida Bright Futures money which should've already been here, I'm ordering it. I really hate the way Nissan used the same grill effect in the on some of their other cars like the Sentra and Quest. Looks like total **** on all of them, IMO...

Oh, soundmike, where in the deep south are you? I'm down here in FL and it's not supposed to be that dark, but no police ever seem to care about it. In fact, most of them have tint as dark as mine on their personal vehicles so go figure I do know some states are real ****** about it though...

Tinting is not illegal in the US at all.
