RE: Tinting

Do a light to medium shade all the way around. Looks very classy when you can still see through.

RE: Tinting

i agree with that suggestions strongly... first off if you do it light enough to have the same % tint on the front windows as on the back... it looks more uniform... and cleaner... second... if you do just the back windows a very dark % it will look "gangster" and sleezy... especially if you have a light colored car... of course this is just my opinion... btw... did you decide what you wanted to do with your headlights?

RE: Tinting

Hey i just got my windows tinted at 30% in the back and 25% in the front. It is a little darker than i expected but overall I am satisfied with it. I don't think I'm going to do anything with the lights now but I'll see. The only thing I'm worried about is if there is too much power in the brighter bulb that might melt it's surroundings.

RE: Tinting

thats really up to you... and your budget... but if i had the money... i would go with AMG's...i think that of all the rim styles out there the AMG Monoblocks look the cleanest...
