Yea Llumar makes really good tint, and my car stays so much cooler with the new tint, you can tell the air conditioning is working a lot less but is still keeping the car really cool

This has made me decide that I'm taking my car in tomorrow for Llumar tint. I am an idiot for getting tint w/o solar protection.

I threw up up in my mouth. The shear awesomeness caused my insides to want to come out and see what the commotion was about...





That is all...

That's what it would look like...it would go well with the blacked out chrome, dark windows, and black wheels....

Anyone know if tinting the front windshield would make viewing the HUD more difficult? I can't imagine it would, but you never know. Anyone with the front tinted and HUD mind posting a pic or two? Thanks.
