The Celica Camry was I believe the first Camry and in Japan was tied to its Sportier sister the Celica perhaps for marketing purposes. I had all the JDM cars listed from the Celica Camry to the Levin GT while I was in the Air Force and stationed in Japan. I was there for eight years so I had a nice variety of cars. The Aero-Deck was a cool fusion of an Accord front with a CRX stlye rear hatch and came from the factory with Dual side draft carbs, nice to drive!

I'm from GA and right now we have no tint law at all. You could spray paint it black and they couldn't say anything to you. I run 5% all around, even the strip across the windshield:

That's old or something because they have just started it and I have talked to 2 county Sheriff's, a few state patrols, and speaker of the house Terry Coleman of the GA congress about it. They all said that there is no law on windoe tint in GA as of right now. It used to be 32% on the sides but they have been debating about it and trying to set new laws about it and have never came to an agreement about it. Mr. Coleman said it would be around a year or so until they set anything.

Thanks, the tint law will more than likely go back into effect sometime or another, but I'd still get 5% even if there was a law on it. The law around here isn't that bad on tint anyway.

i am tryin to get the front window strip done but i have those dot matrix things on the top of my windshield. The tinter mentioned it would look white when they apply the film over the dot matrixes and i dont want that. so how else could i get it done? how are all of you? isnt putting it on the outside of the window, risking it peelin off due to weather and other elements? and what is the dot matrix for??

You have to tint over the dots. Just make sure your tinter presses the edges down and you should be fine. You can always get a vinyl overlay on the outside in the same color as your box.
