Photoshopped some tint onto my bird, what do you think?

I've been wanting to tint my bird with maybe 3% black tint to make it edgy. I shopped a picture, tell me what you think.

I vote no tint. It just looks so factory clean without tint. Also don't know if your state law will slam you with tickets.

I like tint, but not that dark. I mean ultra dark looks really cool, but makes night driving difficult.

I'll just keep my windows rolled down and get a backup camera with nightvision

I'd say lighten up the tint and do the rear hatch glass only.

Re: Photoshopped some tint onto my bird, what do you think?

Tint a shade or two above what the law says you can do.

REASON: You can go right to the limit, but officers will sometimes still pull you over, and still give you a ticket. Yes, you can fight it and win when you bring the paperwork stating your tint level, but it's a hassle.

spend the money for a high quality tint. If you are going to go really dark the nicer tints allow you to see much better than a cheapo off the shelf tint. Check your tint laws and then ask around to see how well they are enforced. Stripping the side windows off is no big deal, but stripping the rear hatch is more difficult.

Limo tint is so crappy. I think red cars look nice with a light shade something like 35%

That's the nice thing about where I live, (a small little coast/island in BC) the cops are very easy going about that type of thing. There's one guy with an old 1940 era hot rod that I see driving around and he's tinted his windsheild o at least 15% now that's something I wouldn't want to do.

Re: Photoshopped some tint onto my bird, what do you think?

i went 20% on my camaro, state law is 35% but you cant really tell the difference in the tint unless im in a darker lighting.
