Why isn't window tint an option when ordering the car?

Excellent. Do you know what your tint percentage is? And, you are going to love the MGW!

Looks good. Care to give any details on the film you chose and your opinions on the results of said selection?

Sure... 15% CTX Ceramic Window Tint on all the windows except front windshield. I paid $270.00. Very pleased with the finished product. This is the 5th car I have taken to the same company. They do excellent work.

Because in some states, tinting the side windows is illegal, regardless of the tint %.

That looks sweet. Tint really is a must on these. I'll be looking for you when I roll through Delaware. My condolences on putting up with the drivers in your state. Some of the worst left lane bandits in the country drive there. Give them some pipe for me will you.
