Yea I have 35% all around. im thinking about going 20%. and the tail lights I did myself. They blend in with the color of the car and it is illegal but it looks good lol. Im trying to go for the all black. I just installed the jdm grill today.

I went to autozone and got some VHT night shade. Its actually spray on tint. Its a tedious process but its well worth it.
-VHT night shade, clear coat, 3M 1500 and 2000 grit sand paper, buffing and polishing which ever brand you prefer. I used maguires.

A lot flimsier too. I personally don't like it, but whatever suits your taste. It would look better if you had the emblem still in place.
