wow. that looks pretty nice. personally i would have done black (smoke?) tint on a black car but that look very nice and clean. i like it.

you should have gotten some closer pictures though.
i wanted to see how dark/light 20% is because i am looking to do tint on my bimmer pretty soon. although i may go 5%.

I had 5% on one car, and I would never do it again, too dark, at night I'd have to roll down the windows to see what was coming out the side windows

ya, i know exactly what you mean. my friends S-class had 5% in the rear windows and you could not see **** out of the windows at night. a little bit too dark.

i am remembering how it was now...and im thinking 20% is still dark enough right?

Nice pics. I had nice tint too but I had to remove the fronts cause a cop pulled me over and gave me a 90 dollar ticket. The tint I had wasn't even dark 30%

Yeppers, those are the Sandias, north on tramway, just past the tram. If you haven't been here in a few years, like 4 or 5, you should drive through or something, the city is getting freakin hugethey are building houses as far north and as far west as you can go, Rio Rancho and Albuquerque are basically one big metro area now. Cost of living is sweet too, I'm building a nice 2 story, 1800 sq. ft. stillbrooke with tile and marble and a bunch of upgrades for like $135,000, sad thing is, the exact same house in the ghetto is like $100k, and in north east is like $180k, but it's all good, I'm alright where it is, right by I-40. There probably isn't as much in the way of great and exciting things still, but it's getting nice none the less.

Glad to hear it. I was there about 6 months ago. I flew in and drove to Grants. I used to live off Coors Rd right off the interstate. Our sub-division was the only one out there at the time. boy did that change.

That is were my house is being built, I don't know the area real well, I'm from NE, but basically ouray to estancia, right on miami and then left on some other street, and it's pretty much the closest subdivision to the freeway, called juniper run 2. I never lived on that side of town, I went to St. Pius for 2 years, and hated the westside, but hopefully things will be better, because I really like the house and the price.

I have 20 on my car, it's not bad at night at all, I think it's still illegal but ohh well.

P.S the 3rd pic makes you car look pretty mean, I am getting scared just looking at it.
