    Default Advice on Window tint black 03 spec v

    So im wondering if i should get my windows tinted or not... My spec is black with the stock 17" rims. One friend of mine says it looks clean without it, another tells me to Do 5% in the back and 15% in the front.. Oh and im installing 10000K HID headlights and 3000K Yellow fogs. What are your guys thoughts?

    That is a personal preference man.

    Some people like the clear glass, others like 5% all around, including windshield.

    Do what you think will look good to you.

    20% all around with 5% strip up front looks good.

    drop it to 8k headlights if you want blue. You're not gonna be able to see to well at night. Lol

    I recently decided to take my window tint off,I got a fix it ticket for the front windows here in california...I had limo tint all around plus double limo on my rear window..anyways,the car looks ugly with just the back windows tinted and since cops have nothing better to do than pull people over for tint,I just decided to not put it back and remove the back window tint..and leave it clean.
    I LOVE having it all around,but I HATE having to pay $25 and paying another $50 to get it put back on.
    consider that where you live.

    I have a black spec, and I have 35% front, per state law, and 25% rear and I like it. I wish I could get away with 25% all the way around, but not worth a ticket.

    I run 6000k's i believe, theyre called 'daylight white' if you're trying to run blue then go with 8000k, but if you're just trying for a brighter light i would recommend 6000k. My fogs are 3000k and i really dont like the deep yellow/amber color, even though they are the brightest, i prefer the colorless lights
