Latest "mod"/addition to the xB
 
Today I did a couple more cosmetic mods to my car. Went from 20% tint all around to 10% with the entire front windshield done in 50%. I used to make fun of people with the front done but 50% is almost nothing...just a little reflective. The 5% sunshade at the top gives the rest the illusion it is not done.

Then I applied the new decal :P

LOL
I think he meant the tint(s)

Whispaz 07-16-2007 06:11 PM

lol

timmer357 07-16-2007 07:57 PM

I know, just playing around.

Here in Oregon my car is 25% UNDER the legal limit of 35%. The front window can't be done at all. Call me a rebel...or just know I have a job that might help me get off.

Whispaz 07-16-2007 07:59 PM

shock.....pegs......LUCKY

timmer357 07-16-2007 08:06 PM

Don't see a point tinting unless you go at least 30% up front. The difference for the FUZZ is minimal from 30 to 35%, go big or not at all. Just kidding, I understand. Here is what 10% looks like with the front window done...ridin' dirty!

very niiice.

uberspeed 07-16-2007 08:16 PM

In the durrrty south (South Florida) we ride with 5% son. That's how we do.
Seriously...

Whispaz 07-16-2007 09:02 PM

wow. uh... well... I'll do 0%
just spray paint all my windows black, thats how I do
Not Serious........

uberspeed 07-16-2007 10:29 PM

I was playing with the slang lingo, I wasn't playing with the 5%. :P
That's common in South Florida, doing 5 and 10% it's just hot down here!

timmer357 07-16-2007 10:56 PM

If I could do it over, I would actually go 10% over the back (thus making it 5% or bit lower) and 5% up front, with a 30% front window. I am scared to travel to my parents house up an hour north though, the FUZZ up there is strict on tint cuz they got nothin' better to do.

Whispaz 07-16-2007 11:54 PM

lol, basically driving a limo......
isnt front tint a bit dangerous?

uberspeed 07-17-2007 12:03 AM

All of my vehicles, my wife's, mother's, friends, etc. down here in SoFla usually have 5-10% on all windows and a glare strip on the front windshield, not generally the entire windshield. Protects the interior, keeps some heat out and gives you some privacy. In 14 years or so of driving I have been hassled once on tints, but then again the rest of my car never looked like something that could come out of a cereal box.

Whispaz 07-17-2007 02:26 AM

i have the front strip done on the civic. It helps a lot

RedLine_tC 07-17-2007 03:12 AM
