Sorry im bad at t/a. I think t/a won't look good on 18" rims since it will probably show how small the rim is yo.

cool. thanks.
i understand the blue is stock, i'm just surprised the tint made the windows more blue (at least it looks to me - the way it was photographed perhaps?). it looks fantastic. the tints i've seen usually dull the stock blue color or the stock blue is lost to gray/black.
hopefully i'll be able to see your car in person at a meet.

It's just the picture. In person, my blue tint sticks out a 'bit more because of my car color and interior color. Either way, his car still looks nice and the blue can still be seen better compared to other tinted cars. His car is part of the reason I've actually considered tinting my car.
