Hi *Vy Vy*,
Yeah, I was messing around on Ebay one day and found a place that we selling that front plate less than what it would have cost me at the dealer, and since the car is silver I thought that the shiny finish would compliment it well :p
I do have tinted windows, 35% all around. It actually does make a difference on a hot day, it keeps the car cooler! When I went to have the windows tinted, the guy doing the job didn't realize that the back window wasn't glass (you know, that polycarbonate window?) and he scored it with his knife while cutting out a template. NEedless to say it had to be replaced ($600 parts and labor! LOL!) so that rear section remains to be tinted. I think I'll do that myself! It's not dark, but it's certainly not light either...it's classy!

Hi Kompressorchick!
All of my windows were tinted at 35%, except for that small one in the back (the unit that contains that rear LED brake unit, basically the spoiler). You know how that piece isn't actually glass? Well, when the guy tinting the window was cutting a template for it for the tint to fit, he traced the edge with his utility knife, and not realizing that it was glass, he cut into the plastic allllll the way around, so that piece had to be replaced. I'm thinking about just going down to PepBoys today and buying 35% tint just so I can finish off that last piece myself. You'd be surprised how much light that little untinted section can let in!
