Tint is a must here in TX.

Now how about a black halo?

Hey Jonathan -- The window tint looks great!

Which manufacturer's tint did you use?? Are you completely satisfied with the install? Some details would be nice.

I just got mine tinted yesterday also. Glacier tinting in Arlington. They blacked out the dot matrix and everything looks great. Ive been driving around w/o tint for 2 weeks, and hating it. I believe it was 30 on the sides and 15 on the back. I went with the Llumar ceramic and I believe it was $260. The Llumar metallic was $199. The tint sure does look good with the crystal red. I like to go darker on the back. It was cloudy yesterday, so you could hardly seen in the back glass, but thats the way I like it. No problems seeing out.
And as someone else stated..... you gotta have tint in Tx. The dark interior and the Tx sun can get vewy hot. A windshield shade is also a must.

It is the body part that runs between the roof panel and the back window and separates the two.

i would do the halo........ i love silver with tinted windows and black halo.

Also you know every poser or narcissistic guy would never tint his windows because he wants people to see who's driving. you ain't that guy either (me either)
