Hey all, I am pretty much going to post a new thread for every new thing I do to my car, so here is one for the tint. I got it put on yesterday, it is 15% all around. I like it.

Nice

so does that block 15% of the light or let 15% of the light in, sorry ive heard it both ways i dont know which to believe anymore, oh and not to be pushy or anything, but yea, paint the sideskirts and you will have one SICK car

It only lets 15% of the light in. To get some perspective, 5% is limo tint.

I will be painting the rear bumper pretty soon, and I may paint these current ones, or I might just opt for some M3 skirts.

sick. looks good!

Looks very clean. You know, on most cars, I hate the no amber thing, but on your car, it really works. Good job. Hey, if you mod it yourself, shoot us some DIYs.
Lovin the car.

Thanks everyone! I am loving this project.

I will definitely post up some DIY's if I ever do anything new. Usually I am following someone else's DIY though!

tints are a must, good work! mines only 30% cus PA cops are pieces of shit but it works for me! cars comin along nicely

Yeah I went this dark because I have a cop as a neighbor (actually his house is in the first picture- the one with the Tahoe in the driveway...and a Z06 in the garage...) and I'm sure he'll sign off on any ticket I get for the tint.

Nice.

About the wheels: will you just wing it like this? Or are there any hubs/centerpieces that fit into them? Just curious.

**RSF5** · 11-21-2006, 01:26 AM

Good looking, and you are modding that car like a crazy man.

No, there are not any real Kosei centercaps that I have found. I was thinking about getting some turned at a machine shop and painting them gloss black. Then some black lugs. I think it would look pretty cool with a black center.
