Few pics after tints. #picwhore

Added light tints. Covered up the side markers. Next week car is going back for front paint protection.

I drive my car. I'm at 1800 miles

LOL

when i was in college back in the mid 90's i was looking for a new username for my Aol instant messenger account.

tried all variations of spatel


my cousin suggested xxpanipuri

and its stuck.

you can follow me on instagram at tarobap22....

for some reason not many folks use either of those names!

tarobap22 was inspired by my old license plate on my camry, until my mother in law suggested i remove it before my wedding LOL

Full windshield. I do this on all my cars. Tint shops charge you an extra $200 to do it (due to the liability I'm guessing), but it just looks too damn clean not to take this route. If you go light enough, you don't get any trouble from the blue guys. I usually do 50% Huper Optik on all the glass.

Hard to tell in this photo b/c the car's in direct sunlight, but you can see the how the tints affect the polarizer on my cam.

So when i'm wearing polarized sunglasses and i look out the tinted windows, i get a rainbow effect at times.

Does this happen to you as well with the tinted windshield?

Must be the tint. I have ceramic tint and the worst I get is a "dusty" look.

Well I wouldn't know as I don't own any polarized sunglasses. I'm told that the HUD can't be seen if you wear 'em.

Any rattles after 1800 miles? Just curious as I have rattles from the day I got it. Now with 300 miles. Wondering if other 2016 have this problem. Sorry to derail
