You should ditch the trunk net. That was the first thing I did.

trunk nets are useful. maybe he should keep it.

I use it to keep things in there from moving around, i took out some things so they were out of the pics.
I have to have oil in my car all the time now because of it using so much and i don't want to go some place and run low, i also have my duster and other things in the trunk.

I don't see how the net helps when the trunk lid is like an inch away.

It's more there if you need to have the trunk open for whatever reason.

it is there so the stuff in my trunk don't move around and hit my subs or go into my ports.

That's what I thought a net was for too. Nice pics, btw.

what are the bolts on the box for?

I think Aken is jealous because he does'nt have one.

Phil, the first thing I did was take mine off. I have it somewhere in my basement.

And I was thinking differently - I thought the net was to keep stuff from getting out. I forgot it's mainly for holding little **** close to the front so it doesn't move.

Oh well, I still wouldn't use it.

I have a cap that i can bolt on to the front to seal it up.

to make it sealed? psh

so it wouldn't be ported, I never use my cap so i just leave the bolts in it.

How dark is the new tint you got put on? I am looking to get mine done (fronts and back). I want something dark... but not completely blacked out kind of deal. I was thinking either 20 or 35... any ideas?

20 is a good bet. Not limo tint, but not light either. 35 sounds a bit light for what you want.

35 front, 5 back

Yours is 35%? That gets me kind of worried, because it does look pretty dark already. I have a picture of the same car as mine (not my car) with 20% and I thought that was what I wanted. Now I don't know!

Well, you may want to check your local laws on what is & isn't legal for tint. My tint is the highest legal limit for my area (about 28%)... the law only applies to the front two windows, but I didnt want to have "mis-matched" tint so all windows got the same tint. Pic below.



L8R,

the thing is my back window are tinted to 5% so that make it darker.

also, when you look through tint at a lighter colored background it makes the tint look lighter. Dark background = darker. so you really need to go your tint shop and look at samples there.

Slick Lookin Car, So Shiny.

The Interior Trunk Looks Clean too.

thank you, and my car was dirty then, just rained the day before and it had water spots all over it, but it still looked clean in the pic .

If you put 35 % on your car it isnt dark at all. But try this ( if you can find a shop that will do it under the table... ) : Tint the windshield at 50 % and tint the side windows at whatever. Tinting the windshield at 50 % isnt noticable at all but makes a HUGE difference on how light the inside of the car is.

Wanna buy a doctors note saying you need windshield tint for your medical condition?

Hey Phil - English?

Goph, I like your car and how many subs to you have 2, or are there 2 others you can't see. Either way it is still tight.

If you have a medical condition that says you have to have your windshield tinted for the sake of you eyes or whatever then it's legal for you to have it. I think Phil was willing to sell one that may or may not be "legit."

You can also get notes for your side windows.

Buddy of mine got a letter from his opthamologist and because of it he has limo tint ALL THE way around his Range Rover, including windshield.

That's just plain stupid.

Damn Aken - such a strong oppinion all the time. Haha.

5% on the windshield is just pathetic though IMO

yes, only 2 type r's running 600 each.

and limo tint on the windshield is just stupid. i think tinting the windshield it self is stupid because you can't see **** when it is dark.
