As much as i would like to, no lol. Saving up for lift/tires in the summer, plus some other odds and ends, including taillights. Probably gonna do some cheap stuff along the way (black emblems, tint tails, deckplate), and then spring for the lift over summer sometime.

Tiny prices vary, it depends what they used - there's some very cheap tint film out there; I used the higher price LLumar tint for a 5% strip across the top of my windshield; it's about 6-7 inches. For all the windows, same tint, would've been $220 for 5$ on all windows except the fronts, which are to be 35%.

NY tint laws suck so I ignore them - 70% max? They're GOT to be kidding.

Yea i got a deal. It would have been $160 but since it was illegal they tacked on 20 bucks and didn't charge tax and i didnt get a reciept. I went in with $180 cash and 3 hours later i had my truck back. They didn't quote the windshield strip in with it, but i told the woman they did, so i got it free

Yea it all depends on where you get it and how you get it and all. I was talking to my roomie and hes from NC and said it would cost about $300 to get what i got done here over there. But make sure you shop around check out different stores and such. But remember... cheapest isn't always the best!!

yea the city where my girlfriend lives is only 20 minutes from my main house and she said they did her sisters windows and one of her friends and did a good job on both.

so i'm more then likely going to go check it out after christmas.
i'm gonna go with 20 percent over factory on all back windows, 35 percent on front driver and passenger side, and a 5 percent tint strip about 4 inchs down on the front windshield

should hopefully make a noticeable difference.

I LOVE mine during summer, just because my car doesn't get hot and all inside, but it can be difficult for me at night, sometimes i have to roll my windows down to see haha. You seem like your goin with more of a subtle difference though, hope you like it! And hey, you can always go darker later!!

If you have any questions or anything you can always PM or such

32 is the darkest legal you can have in alabama so, i'm going to try to keep my parents off my back and do it legal or they said i can't add any tint at all. hopefully blacking out all the back windows and adding a little darkness to the driver and passenger sides and the tint strip across the top of the front windshield will help out some

i had 5% on my Maxima, 5% on this, and probably will have 5% on all my other vehicles afterwards too.

Just dont do anything illegal and you wont have any troubles with it. The only way you can be caught for your tint is if you get pulled over for something else and then they notice it. Well thats how it is in TN anyways, i dont know about that stinky 'bama state down there...

I know that question is directed toward Evan but I'll go ahead and tell you they are awesome! Some of the best looking Halogen bulbs on the market! But... I ordered some 8K HIDS this morning so the luminics pure blue will have to retire... lol
