That tint would be ripped off IMMEDIATELY if I bought that thing. That dark tint crap(like the car I just bought, which will be removed), is annoying and dangerous at night. Other than that, why the hell does that thing have such few miles on it, it isn't and won't ever be a collector, drive it and enjoy it!

Define decent gas mileage..

That car looks good with that tint. It's an accent color to the rest of the car. At first before I clicked the link infigured jl was bitching because it was blue fade or something.

I was kind of going by what Matt said. To me it seems like he wants something that has decent power to begin with so he won't be as tempted to spend money on it. Just my $.02 though.

Accent color more important than safety and convenience? Got your priorities right... My tint, which I believe is 35% is a bitch at night and it annoys me to no end, 15 though?!?!? Sorry but having my windows be an "accent color" is NOT worth the annoyance and safety issues.

I agree. I have 35% all around on the Vibe and I sometimes have a hard time backing up at night. SilverStar bulbs in the reverse lights have made a huge difference with that though. I can't imagine having anything darker than 35% as far as nighttime driving is concerned though. It seems totally unsafe and not worth it to me.

15% tint is not that dark. I have it on my dd. That picture of it inside makes it look darker. Even at night tho. Not hard to see at all.

Back to topic. I would get a g8. Just don't need all that room. A gto would be 1st on my list.



Re: any G8 owners on here

"Not hard to see at all" is subjective... you are used to it. Like I said, there IS a noticeable difference at night with just my 35%. I hate it. IT IS a safety issue. You do know what the % number is right? it's the percentage of light let through.... 15% of the light makes it through. You don't see that being a safety issue at night? Riiiiiiiiiggghhhhttt....

I wouldnt want any tint, its just cop harrassment i dont want or need, they are really anal about that around here

As far as needing room, I do find myself hauling around more crap and people now though rather than cramming the biggest subwoofers I can find in it

I guess my needs have become more "grown up"

I've been in an ego with everything 20%... everything even the windshield and looking out at night you could not even tell there was tint on them. I know just my two fronts at 35% was very expensive but the company uses the top of the line film. Looking out at night you can see like it's not even there.

If you can't see out it while backing up.... Roll down your window? Or take it off instead of bitching how hard it is to see out of it

Rode in a cammed one yesterday and manual is way more fun

And if my priorities were right I wouldnt have put a turbo on a cavalier and be in 12s and touching 11s this year. Not the type off dd made for that. So that point there I immediately slacked on safety. But this year is helmet jacket year so it's a give and take.



Re: any G8 owners on here

Didnt say it was or wasn't safe. Clearly there are laws about it. So that means something



Re: any G8 owners on here
Sunday, January 02, 2011 6:45 PM
Safety is my issue with real dark tint, but from what I hear it;s not the biggest issue with the law. Sure they might have the law in place for safety like my concerns, but from what I hear, it's for cops to be able to see in your car. So they aren't in a dangerous situation not being able to see where your hands are, what you might be grabbing or hiding etc.
