Default a few additions

Over the past week I've added my Jensen HU, that has a really cool bluetooth feature and dvd/nav. I also decided to tint my tails, but i went with a few light coats because I think it can look rice if its too dark. Do you guys think i should do a little darker? I used a spray tint, with a semi-gloss finish. I sort of like the purple/blueish tint it has, sorta matches the smb.

thats what i figured you guys would say.. I went real light, it actually is a shade darker, itd be real noticeable if you held a stock light next to it. Im going to go a shade darker though anyway. I tinted my last car and when it came out too light I went back and darkened and ruined the lights, they were literally black. I hope i dont do that again..

And that HU was a pita to mount in the right place. Took me over 7 hours to get everything right so the screen would flip and not hit the mounting kit i purchased from american electronics.

Update. I went back and darkened my tails.. I purchased a semi gloss and a full gloss bc I wanted to see what the lights would look like with a semi-flat coat before i went full glossy. I installed them after the semi gloss coat and they didn't look good at all, the flat look doesn't go with the shiny san marino, especially when the sun is shining. I went back and coated with full gloss and man they look so good. Word of advice, apply at least 8 to 9 coats of gloss (its not too much) They look perfect now. A perfect shade with a perfect shine. Pictures tomorrow!

I did 35% around myself. Didn't want to attract the attention the PoPo if I don't have to.
