Default UPDATED pictures of my GSR! I LOVE IT!

Here are new pictures of my 1995 GSR...

I had all my windows tinted on Sunday (except front windshield).

The back three windows are limo tint (5%).
It's not that hard to see the outside when you're driving. It just might take some getting use to, that's all.

Anyone want to guess what % the front sides are?

It's finally getting hot herRe in the Bay Area... and I can tell the tint drastically blocks the sun.

Also, in person, I think it makes my car look a lot newer and/or sleeker. All the other windows are so dark that it makes the front windshield look tinted, even though there isn't any tint on it whatsoever.

Here are the old pictures to compare to:

Let me know what you guys think!

Poll Question: Am I going in the right direction with my car's appearance? (I've only had it for a year and i'm a broke college student)

What state do you live in? From the pictures, it looks like CA, because if it is, expected to get pulled over for your tints. In CA you can only tint the 2 front windows up to 88%. The only way to keep those tints legally is if you have a doctor say that you are UV sensitive.

EDIT: I see from your license plate that you do live in CA. Besides your tints, I see that you also don't have a front license plate. You might want to put it back on if you don;t want to get stopped.

timmy8151 - I knew of both the things you said, but thanks anyways, it's cool that you did regardless

The car is under my dad's name (even though he only drives it like once every 3 months, while I drive it everyday).

He told me that a couple of months ago his doctor suggested he get tinted windows since he has a minor skin condition, and that he'd be willing to write him a note. So since we recently tinted my car's windows... my dad asked his doc to write him a 'professional note," and he agreed.

Also... about the license plate, I got my car used and the lady (she was a 35 yr old teacher!) who owned it didn't give me the other plate, so my dad has been meaning to get another plate, but i'll put it on the dashboard once i get it, not on the front.

Looks good, I used to have my 4 door blacked out as well. All it needs is the OEM corners and you are good to go.

Around here everyone has illegal tint. Now even cop cars have illegal tint. They eventually gave up busting ppl. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Besides it's waaaaay to hot here to not have tint.

Yeah, the cops around here all have tint way darker than mine, and mine is way illegal. I don't know how they can see anything at all, as mine is borderline. Good thing I drive with the windows down 100% of the time when it isn't raining.

In CA you can only tint the 2 front windows up to 88%
Are you sure it's 88%? That is basically no tint at all.
And keep the clear corners. it goes better with the white than orange would
To be honest, I've read both 88% and 70% for the front 2 windows.

Heres what I got off one site:
Visor..................4"
Front doors.....70%(clear)
Rear doors...........Any
Back window..............Any
