I got 20% tint in my tan interior(I have white car just like like gatekeeper. with clear corner)
I guess since my interior is tan, 20% isn't that dark to me.
My tint guy said definately go with 20, so I did it(even though I wanted to do 25 or 30).
After tint was done, I am sure glad I didn't do 25 or 30. 20 gives you enough privacy and good looks you want. Also, I got pull over about 5 times with this car, and not once they mentioned my car tint. They just gave me ticket for different reasons.
IF you have tan interior definately do 20, and if you have black....well.... I would still go with 20%.

I know a very professional tint place in Seattle area for 199.(No bubbly look around the rear window trimm you know the place where there is micro dots). I was suprised with quality work, because other place where I did my g35couple didn't do well on micro dots area and they said that's best they can do.

I also tinted fog light to yellow and it looks real nice.

Well as you can see, we can, and no rubbing anywhere, clearance is OK

The rims were only done this year, and I was the first to actually have them installed to see if they would actually work out.

Lucky me they did, and I did not have to go to a 17 or 18 inch rim, for a set of winters on a leased car, was just way more than what I wanted to spend in that configuration, the 16's worked out well.

They're still not shown on the web site for that company. Any idea if they are available in the states?

I don't know if they have anything in the States, best would be to either call them, directly or send an email, there are a few addy's on their page on how to contact them.

As for not being on the web, probably not, they might not have updated the site, I saw them in a flyer that was on the desk at the shop.

call or email that will probably be the best bet....

there is even a request a quote on the contact page

Jersey cops suck!! They love to pull you over for frivolous **** like tints and front license plates!!! Get a life!! Ugh I can't stand it! And I love how they are oh-so selective on who they pull over for these ridiculous infractions! Its such a crock of ****. However, with that being said, I must say that I have 3 MBs and because of all of this, I have no tints on any of them and all of them have their front plates. Lets start an NJ petition!

HAHAHHA i said the SAME exact thing when i saw the first pic. Thats funny.

I live in the Wayne area and cops are complete d!cks up here in north Jersey. I am contemplating getting tints but my bad habits may make me think otherwise. 35 looks nice though...wonder how it would look with white/blk.
