Love it man, Looks great. :rockon: I gotta get mine redone, it is starting to get nasty looking on the rear window due to old age. I love the black on black. Here is how my old 86Z used to look black with 5% back window tint...

Sweet!

Tints on a black car looks good.
I wish I could tint mine but I suffer from night blindness

Looks good, but are you worried about getting pulled over?

yes the pipes are too long. i'm getting shorter fatter ones when the flowmasters go in.

Looks good, but are you worried about getting pulled over?
not really. i've been riding around in my buddy's t/a with the same tint for like 6 months now.. with no incident.

i also drive around with my underbody/interior neon turned on a lot, and without a front licence plate.. so i guess if i get pulled over i'll get a big finger-wagging.. but whatever. i think it's worth it.

Looks good love those wheels. Were about to do the tint on my buddies cavy, i told him to get black but he got 20% in that chrome looking crap. I dunno see what happens. Silver on black looks good to. THe pic in the sig gives you a good idea.

That car looks beautiful, have you had any problems seeing out of the windows at night.

thanks for the compliment

as for the 15% on the side windows.. it's not nearly as bad as you would think. There's just no problem at all.

the 5% is pretty damn dark, and at night.. you only really see what is lit up. everything else just doesn't show. it makes reversing kinda tough.. but thats where side-mirrors come in handy

the car looks twice as good at night.. i wanted to take some more photos.. but my camera's not great at night-shots.
