i will try and do that tomorrow. i'm going on a photo frenzy tomorrow with not only my car but the Iroc too b/c the interior is getting worked on tomorrow

and yes it could use a lowering, but the ZR1's i have for it dont fit roomy enough to be able to drop it IMO

Always hard to see how tint looks on overcast days. I look forward to seeing a shot or two in the sun in an open field or something..

you can see inside in daylight somewhat, it's not completely darkened but just enough to give a "mask" for the people inside the car. and yes you can see out of it in night so it works perfectly. i would probably do 5% on the hatch thought just b/c most people have sound systems and it's nice to have the back blacked out. also in most states you can have whatever % you want in the rear

well in GA i think the law is 32% sides and 22% hatch or something like that. but i want to do about 15% or 20% all around.

the great thing about 20% is that it hardly looks different from the legal limit from a distance. up close you can notice the difference but from a cops distance it doesn't look much different

you can adjust the recieving holes that the pins go into

you just peel the plastic off the part that the back edge of the window sits against, and theres a couple nuts thereg that you can loosen.

adjust it down a little, and tighten em back up, repeat until as desired.

i know its not like that on ALL of them, but it's worth a check

it fixed mine right up, 2 days before I spent 350 on weatherstripping.

talk about a lifesaver

Is it just me or do your reverse lights look extra white? If so what did you do them they look real good.
