first time waxing.. went on a bit think.. still looks 10X better. decided to get 20% tint, even 15% would have looked better. I like how it came out, at night, im glad its 20% not 15%. CAI was an ebay one.. sounds nice and im sure got a decent boost from it.

fing02.gif Looks Great

I did 20% on the 4 windows of my Charger, and then 5% on the rear windshield. I sometimes regret it at night when I'm trying to back into the driveway. I have to drop the windows so I can get a good vew through the mirrors. Oh well, it looks good and people think I'm a cop....

The added bonus was clear yesterday. I rolled down the driver's window, and the sun hit me in the face, and I could FEEL the sun burning my skin...rolled it back up...felt nothing. I never really noticed how much tint can really block out the UV rays.

The darkest we can legally (in Ontario) tint the driver and passenger windows is 35%. The other windows can be as black as you want.

yes im sure that looks awesome. laws in nebraska are 35% front 2 passenger, and then 20% on back 2 and the rear window. A bit worried since the highway patrol here are now required to have tint meters.. and I will be commuting 100 miles or so on interstate every couple of weeks

looks AWESOME.. waxxing really makes a huge difference.

wonder who showed ya that intake so ya wouldn't have to spend 100+$ more on the AEM. fing02.gif

you should be fine with 20% unless the cop is a MAJOR dick. i have driven around for the past 4.5 years in my tib and srt4, both have 5% all around, only been hassled, ticketed two times.

driven in canada, all over michigan, ohio, through ABQ and surrounding areas, etc.

haha ya thanks for the find on the cai.

ya im not to worried with 20%, but with 15% i would have. the cops in Nebraska are HUGE dicks... plus im 19 so more the reason for them to be suspicious... having 2 cops living on both sides of you doesn't help either.

next mod looks like some black tails... still deciding on if i want to do exhaust now
