Oh yeah,

35% tint all the way around (except windshield).

Ride is still nice. Not as smooth as with the OE, but still nice.

yeah i think with a 245 size tire, you need to go with at least a 9 rim.. it might be too wide for 8.5" rim

it looks good but it needs to be lowered like crazy, I can't wait if and when they make a lowering kit for the es350.
