Looks Nice! Tinted windows was the first mod done to my car and was done on the third day of owning it!!! Really like the way tinted windows work and how they help on warm summer days!!!

Nice. My windows were already tinted when I bought it. Unfortunately Illinois only lets you have the back windows tinted. That and They were scratched up so off with the front.

BTW.. are those azul rims? They look just like mine.

The wheels are 18inch Menzari Infernos. I wish I had gotten 20s instead...with the correct size tire, they would fill the wheel well a lot better.
In Iowa, it is illegal to have tint on the fronts as well unless you have an exemption from the DOT and your eye doctor...my GF does and "She frequently drives my car". Hehe.

I ended up going 5% back and 35% fronts instead of my originally planned 5% rear 15% front...

Looks great. Tinted windows make the car in my opinion. I had mine done 4 days after I got it, just after the exhaust. Lol I don't even have any pictures of it without tint, that's how fast it was done.

Cropped the pic a bit but still need to run it through Photoshop to fix the graininess from my cell phone. Of course, better pics will come once the weather stops being *shoot*.

Here in Nebraska, or at least in my area, the legal limit is 20% on the rear window/rear passenger side windows and 35% on the front passenger windows. Windshield tinting is illegal period. However, on my former Cadillac (and my Bonneville soon), I had 20% all around (except the windshield).

Planning to do mine here soon as well, Indiana's laws are a tad bit more lax than elsewhere... and aren't enforced unless they get reallly bored...
