Wow, I didn't realize that last pic was so big. Sorry about that.

I'm kinda nervous about inspection since 20% on the sides isn't really "legal". Oh well, I'll cross that road when it gets here. Hehe.

Thanks for the compliments!

I like the look too. Wish we could go that dark on the sides here - state law says no more than 35%.

I would hate to be in a paramedic unit responding to a scene with you pulling out in front of me at night in an intersection with your tunes cranked up really loud... =;-[


It's not bad at all at night. I'll get some pics.

Technically, it's not legal here in TX either. We'll see what happens. I know of others that have darker tint that haven't been ticketed yet. I hope my luck is the same :knockingonwood:

Very true! I had my truck done at the same time, so I'll see how well it does shortly!

21st did do all of the work. Top notch shop as everyone already knows. John is the man.

Thanks again for all of the compliments.

I need to get mine done. All my other cars were tinted 20%. Although 35 is legal, Ive never had trouble and my car was even searched by the local po-po.

Where? That little black smudge? I know I need to get a new camera

They are Lingenfelter vinyl badges if those are what you are asking about.
