Default As Promised! PICS

Yesterday got the vert tinted, so I snapped a few pics today. Tint is 20 on the sides and 5 in the back window.









Tell me what you guys think!

, Thanks

Thanks everyone, I was having doubts about tinting it but from seeing it myself and from your comments, I'm happy!

Window tinting looks very cool, but after having some difficulty seeing out the rear window at night and trouble seeing other drivers eyes at intersections, I chose not to tint my current car.

Looks great...nothing better than a Silver C6 Vert...( except for a Silver C6 Coup ) I wonder why I feel that way ? LOL

Also why not get the tint same shade on sides and back, would it not be more uniform looking ? Just curious.

Coming from a car with 5% all around, I will never go that dark again. Its not as much of not being able to see cars around you but just ANYTHING outside the car at night. That and the cars look fairly sketchy with 5%.

I plan on adding a 20% side and rear with 50% on the windsheild. I find this to be the best of both worlds. Easy to see other cars around you and still maintains a dark looking tint.

Looks good but to me it is just asking for a cop to stop you.
