Default SGM with 5% Tints

I got my windows tinted 2 weeks ago, just posting pictures up. Getting used to the 5% but am always paranoid while driving at night and around cops.





It isn't really that dark, I was just messing with the settings of the camera, still a newbie with the camera although advice would be appreciated.

I was going to get 20% but I had that on my Camry but that wasn't dark enough so I decided on 5% this time. Driving in the day time is fine but it just gets tricky at night.

Yes, that is the Toys R Us on the Belt Parkway.

Adivce? Take it off.

Nothing says "pull me over" like limo-tint. Not my style, and probably illegal.

If I was a cop pulling you over, I'd have my weapon drawn, simply because I wouldn't be able to see into the vehicle... it's illegal for a reason. I don't really see that it's worth the hassle, not to mention the obvious vision difficulties it's causing you, which endanger yourself and others. Not a rant, just

For pics....start by taking pics with the sun shining on the car. You should use the sun's light to light the object (the IS) of the image. It seems you took it with the sun on the other side. Im sure in a big open parking lot you could find a space to take it. Also, try with the sun higher in the sky, though an evening shot would look awesome, just have to have the car in the sun.
