Law is 35% here. 20% on a sporty coupe and you'll hear about it. 4drs not usually so bad. Get a lot of punks racing around on the highway weaving through traffic in a somewhat sporty car and the cops will nail them for anything under the sun. But a mama in a sedan with 20% and a kid in the back seat, not likely to get in trouble.

It is a sporty looking car - part of why i'm so in love with it, but I was looking around in rush hour traffic this morning and there were a lot of sedans with pretty dark tint so think i'll be ok with 20%.

Ahhh, if 35% is legal, then 20% should be relatively safe. Post pics when you're done!

I love em, just don't know much about them. I watch and help when he tinkers with his toys and he's always happy to explain stuff, even if i don't always understand.

I def want the interior LED's. Everything else is LED in that car except the dome light... wth. But after that and tint i have no idea. Don't really want to lower it cuz its hot just the way it is, and I don't want to risk the rougher ride. I saw a thread about the 2011 headlights. Haven't seen them in person, but if they're as good as the Audi's I'd be up for that. $3k seems like a lot tho. Oh and wheels, I def see wheels in my future. Love the Fsports so I might just go with that and make life easy. Not really sure what else there is for a noob like me.

If you need mod inspiration, just read everyone's signatures. For interior LED lighting, check out this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...de-w-pics.html

Happy modding!

i had 20% on mine at first but i have light interior you can see everything thru so i got 13%... btw the windshield brow makes a different to so get it if you have a chance. it blocks out a lot of sun and give your car a darker look.

OK, after looking thru about 3 pages of the picture thread I have to lower it. I don't want it tucked or any negative camber, but it def needs a drop. Damn you.
