Man that is *SO* hot w/ the black on black.
My car's not black but I did the 3M CS 5 all the way around and I think it's the best thing I've ever done.
A few tips for your tinting:
1) Pay a little extra for good tint that isn't dye-based (will turn purple eventually).
2) If you care about radar and cell phone reception, get something that isn't metal based (I posted a thread on this a while back: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=305440)
3) Find a shop that's been in business over 10 years. It's *very* hard to stay in business as a tint shop if you screw people over and/or do shoddy work for more than about 5 years.
4) Find a shop that doesn't cut their films by hand. A lot of people disagree with me on this point but these days the best shops (IMO) use a computer-driven plotter device to cut the film. They download the *exact* template for your car so you're not relying on some dude's experience with an exacto knife around your precious window seals to "trace" out a proper form.
5) Get your warranty in writing BEFORE you have them start work.
Best of Luck!

Limos all the way around with a 10 INch front windshield strip is the way to go... I sware to god it makes ur car so much more beautiful and fun to drive... However it does take some getting used to... and it is not so great for nocturnal people... As it is very hard to see

What up guys. I just bought an evo and am planning to tint all of the windows.
What percent should I go with for a more darker tint but not so dark tint.... <//~~~ I don't get it either).
If its not too much trouble, can you guys post a picture with the percentage of your tint?
It would really help me and a lot of other guys figure out what tint is best for them.
Thanks in advanced guys!
