Kinda figured you thought I was calling you a criminal. Sorry. The whole Red thing is how I stay a gray man. Deflect, deflect, deflect. 🤪

I actually didn’t think you were saying chat, but I really couldn’t figure out the angle. Thats what happens when I haven't had breakfast, my thoughts aren’t clear lol. About to eat lunch now, so I should be much sharper.

Have to agree with ya there...no better color for the 10 minutes it's clean after you wash it! My car came with the tint already, but it's not too dark...keeps the car relatively cool in the summer at least...

Nothing wrong with tinted windows. I have them.
It is the super dark tint that gives idiots a false sense of I can do whatever and you can't see me. ie: the idiot street racers.
