Default Windows tinted!

15% 3M window tint all the way around. I have a bad feeling about this when I transfer to Cali, but what's life if you don't take your chances At least it looks good!

I couldn't ever imagine the car without the windows tinted. Just doesn't look right to me without the tint. I picked up the car and literally 30 minutes later it was dropped off at the shop.

Looks great. I agree window tint is a must.
The tint looks great with that color.

Nice. Do the fiveOhs come with the same crappy window molding as previous years? I had to add the felt strips on mine as the tint was scatching. Keep an eye out, you might have to add the felt.

Looks great and I agree with you 100% on tint being a must! I've got the same % (5% in the rear) and I love it! Hopefully you'll be alright in Cali.

Luckily they don't. The 10s, 11s, and 12s all have nicer window molding that luckily won't mess with tinting been running mine on the car for about 5 months now with no scratching or anything like that to speak of.

What is the legal % limit on tint?

They don't go by %'s any more (at least not in Ohio). The law is that as long as a policeman can identify you through the tint it's legal. (which is sketchy in my opinion). But if this isn't the case in all states, it varies. Here's a link:
