I wanna darken my cummins to 5%. Its currently at 20% and im almost getting the fishbowl feeling compared to the Passat and my Trans Am.
My square is kinda a pain to back up due to glare from the windshield, i turn and look out my window backing up. I added a square led under my bumper tagged in to my reverse lights to see more at night.

Yea backing up, sometimes blind turns but you get used to it. LED reverse lights help for sure. I'm known to just drop my window when I gotta back up regardless of the weather lol. Passat has a reverse cam but I never use it.

35% will be a little dark IMO. I tint all my windshields at 50% and either 5% or 20% for the rest of the vehicle. I dont know why my Passat is so dark but that windshield is only 50% with 5% around and a beige interior.

The windshield tint helps cut the glare immensely. I dont have much problems with high beams in my face its the sun that kills me.

Do you have inspection stickers or registration stickers that have to go on the glass?


Nope no inspection currently in SC an the registration decal goes on the license plate.

I rented a '08 Dodge Magnum for a week once. 3.5L, very nice, comfy, quick, quiet, good handling and better MPG than I expected. Don't know why you don't see many of them.

I love the magnum. I want a V8 one. They make some very appealing vehicles. I wanna rent a Track Hawk. Lol

If you guys like magnums look up junkyard dave on YouTube. He took an 08 magnum and a 2016 scat pack challenger an put them together. Its a pretty badass car, an one they should have built imo.

I like the look of these car's rear end.

I have always thought that their running lights and brake lights should be that ring only. It needs a mod that would put low and high LEDs, then bypass the third brake light and the regular brake lights. It would be sweet.

Well thanks to the "stimulus" I got my buddy to detail an ceramic coat it. This thing pops now. It's got to look better than it did new, he did a killer job. I'll try to link the video he made. If it doesn't work look for clean slate detailing in forest city nc. The lighting wasn't great by the time I got home today.

Are there no wires around the strut towers or did you mod it?

My 99 Trans Am requires a bunch of work to look so tidy.

No they are pretty tidy from the factory. The only things I've done since getting it so far is the debadge, taillight tint an now the coating.

I typically don’t like factory blue. But I do like yours. It looks good.

Man thats a nice touch from the factory to keep the wires pretty tucked. The car is looking great!
