Almost done

Just some suspension work, and I think I'm done with the aesthetics for a bit.

Just love it man. What level and type of tint is that?

sausagemcmuffin I believe those are VMR V804.

I'm strongly debating those in gloss black or the V801's.

They are Avant Garde M580. The finish is smoked mirror. Not the biggest fan of he finish to be honest. They were bespoke specs and finish. I was expecting a darker color.

That’s 15% all around. It’s tricky driving at night.

You got the right idea....I’m thinking of refinishing the wheels in a pearl black, or satin black.

Whoa, 15%! I know everyone will think I'm nuts but next week I'm getting 70% ceramic windshield and then 50% ceramic all around. With the slight tint on the windshield it will make it look a little darker on the outside and 50% is already the legal limit for front windows so I want to look mostly legal. We don't have any government approval process for registration and the cops don't pull over for tint too often where I live but I really don't want to give them a reason. I'm running with a front plate due to that.

I am also worried about visibility. I drive in the country enough and where I live there arent many street lights.

15% tint, tinted headlights, tinted tail lights.

Must be hard for both you to see and other people to see you...

You’d be surprised. The laminix film on the headlight and tail lights barely impeds the light output. Hardly notice a difference for both headlights and tail. 👌
