I know in oregon you can't have under 35% on the driver and passenger side windows, but everywhere else can be limo tented but that just looks stupid as hell with light windows in the front and CIA tinted in the back. I personally would rather spend the 160-180$ on something else lol.
Damn C1's car looks so good with the polished 5lugs. Maybe i'll scrap saving for some more random rims and just start saving for 5lug swap with CTR's lol

Oh man, looks like i shouldnt have asked about the tint! Haha. I guess if its not legal then i understand it. I dont know about it not being "clean" but to each his own. Just seems like alot of you have non-stock seats, and tint always helps prevent fading on them, aside from the asthetic look it gives which i like.

Yep, im having trouble finding DB8 rears for sale that the seller isnt saying the top is faded or somewhat faded since they didnt have tinted windows. Still trying to decide if i should do DB8's or have my rears redone in Status material that i can buy from them directly and have a local shop put it on for me.

Moose it is illegal for the 2 front window to be tinted anything under 50% i believe in cali
yeah that is one of the main reason i got tint, is for my seats but also my son, it was just to hot for him.

oh wow that's lame lol. Most cops around here won't bother you for tint alone, unless they see something else wrong lol. Kids are always a good reason

Only way you ever get busted in our area for tint is if you have 5% all the way around. Even then you can still get away with it sometimes. One guy here has doubled up 5% and has not had to take it off yet. You cant look through one side of the vehicle and see out the other. Its actually pretty dangerous, especially the way this guy drives.

30% is legal limit in most states for fronts i believe. Most of us here have 20% all the way around. Its not too much darker.

Front Side Windows: Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Back Side Windows: Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.
HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN CALIFORNIA?
Front Side Windows: Must not be more reflective than a standard window.
Back Side Windows: Must not be more reflective than a standard window.
http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/CA/Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield.
Front Side Windows: Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Back Side Windows: Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.
HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN CALIFORNIA?
Front Side Windows: Must not be more reflective than a standard window.
Back Side Windows: Must not be more reflective than a standard window.
But, according to CHP:
The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:
- The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
- If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.

that's your horn, the SRS is controlled by the contact reel which plugs into the air bag. you need i believe torx 25 or 30 for the airbag. route the reel wiring through the hole in the wheel and plug it into the back of the bag. ground yourself to the chassis of the car when working with SRS equipment.
