i dont really have trouble at all, except when im reversing in the dark haha.
its fine if theres lights around but on a dark night in the bush or something reversing is a no no without someone to stop me backing into something lol.
its fine in town and such though
front and front sides are fine, the back doors and rear window are the darker ones

aww ok then!! im looking at some of the websites and it looks like the factory tint is about 35%.... id say ur back ones are about 20% which looks good in my opinion... but i think if i go any darker it becomes illegal and the cops will have more to pin me for if i get pulled over haha

thats what i think too.
the cops have only ever mentioned mine once, and then all i had to do was move my p plate to my numberplate so that they could see it, the actual tint didnt get raised. just the fact he couldnt see my p plate

Haha I've only got exhaust this one so it's pretty tame
I find my tint does f all to keep the car noticeably cooler over my old EB without tint. Either way it's hot as F**k lol

Nite Shades, about $15 a can from autobarn

I don't think the exhaust will do much other than sound good haha. It'll make a difference but not huge

make sure you do it properly, my mate just sprayed it on let it dry a couple minutes and kept doing coats without really doing what the can directions said and they only looked good from a distance, up close it was terrible, you can also mask up designs in the lights and spray it and they look good, my mate did his ba and masked up the blinker and reverse light and sprayed the rest and they looked really good,
