Ah. Do you know the percentages at all? The reason I ask is that what might be street legal for you, in your state/province, might not be for me.

I definitely like that dome light, but does it give you the same sight as the original? Also where'd you get the bulb and what size is it?

Hey I actually got the from Customtc.com Its a great website and they are starting to get more parts for the 2011 tC

But on a sidenote...no you don't get much sight from the blue...so if you drop something dont rely on the blue dome light to help you find it...they do sell them in super white...but i liked the blue...

Based on the Palm Trees and green all around and the fairly dark legal tint, I'm guessing you're in Florida. If that's true, the darkest legal tint is about 25% on the front side windows and 15% on the rest. And your tint looks pretty close to those numbers. I would say you can see inside a car with 25% tint about 70% of the time. You drop down to 15% and I would say it hides everything about 90% of the time. You go down to 5% and you have to really work to see inside that tint anytime. Then again, you have to really work to see OUT of that tint too, so...

I have 15% all around and it looks really good. As soon as I get out of work when there's still daylight, I'll take some pics of my car with the tint on.

P.S. If you happen to live in a communist state, like CA, you may not be able to tint your front side windows much at all. I think CA is like 70% for the front side windows

It was a beautiful day here today, so I went to the beach and took a few pics. I'll post more once I get my H-techs installed.

Where did you get your H-Techs? And how much were they? Also how much did you drop your ride?

I bought my H-techs from PTuning.com. They were $266 shipped with the Scionlife discount code (it's listed here somewhere, but I can't remember it at the moment). Dropped the car about what was listed .9" front and 1.2" rear. I didn't measure before I installed them, so I'm not sure.

Here's a few pics of mine. Got it about a month ago. Pics are from the phone after giving it a cleaning this past weekend in between snow storms. Will get some better pictures once spring comes around.

You are a good man. I hated trying to keep my car clean when I lived in an area with snow. Hope to see you around the forum.

A week later, another storm this week and the car is now covered in salt. It's painful to look at like this. Can't wait for winter to be over.

IMO the lower graphic might only look good on super white
