Default You got to do it Bronze

I actually got it a little darker than this cause in the sun it looked too light even though in pictures it looked great but you get the idea it looks good, can't believe you ridin around on 20's with no tint J/k but it is a must on any car. hey is your car lowered at all, just wondering of you have problems with you wheels rubbing cause I am considering getting a set?

chmpgs, what percent tinit do you have? and what brand? i love that look.... btw i am dropped on intrax springs... suspension is fine, but tire rubs on the plastic piece in front of it when the wheel is turned all the way. and its only the driver front... i think i'll get it shaved a little.. also how much was your tint?

yup! Bronze is def. the only way to go...mine was black....for like 20 hours, then i changed it to bronze. this is a little lighter than chmpgs'-it is 40% i think! If I were gonna do it again i'd definetely do it bronze just darker (as you may know..this GS in the pic is dead...I now have a grey one...no bronze tint on that one!) check it out here.........

so the lower the percentage, the darker? so a 17% would be darker than a 40% ? if you say say 17% was too light chmpngs, then what would you get? also did you get the same all around? or lighter up front?

From what I understand, the percentage represents the amount of light that is let in thought the tint.

yep lower is darker....the percentage is the percent of light which is let in. 5% is pretty much limo tint. 17% is pretty dark, it's illegal here in RI to have any tint....so i try not to push it. mine is 30%.

Default Tint

Sorry I haven't replied I haven't been back here in a few, the tint that is on there in the picture is actually about 40% but with the sun itis honestly way too light, I got it redone with 17% it is not too dark at all looks real good about what the picture looks like but in person maybe a little darker. I might get 20's not really sure yet, but will probably keep the 17's also, how much is the intrax drop? I have the eibach kit which is like 1.2 in or somethin, what width are your rims? what size tires you got? just curious to how your ride is also.
