Cool, thanks
You have black interior too right? I am curious, how easy is it to see the radio? I don't want to tempt thieves when I upgrade the HU.

well you can still see inside if you look. in order to not see... you'd probably have to have limo tint.

I used to agree, but I think you have to have the right color for it to look clean. (black, charcoal, and maybe a few others)

I have some percentage that came with the car. Dark enough for me. Tint freaks me out, man.

Ah word. Every time I look in the hatch, I'm like, "**** man, I can fit my tennis bag back here & that's it." I'm really curious how people put wheels.

Yeah dude. I think Corollas have 14" steelies in five lugs. They might be 15", but whatever they are, they're tiny.

Probably less than that if you hit up a junkyard. You'd probably need some mean spacers to fit them over the brakes, though.

If you make it work, I'll buy a set & roll them with some spinner hubcaps.

I have 20% all the way around on my CS Z. It's dark enough at night that you can't just see in but directly under the sun you can see in perfectly. Anything other than direct sun light it's pretty dark.

I'd still recommend 10%-15%

I had 5% on all my other cars. When I bought my Z it already had 20% on it so I just left it. Wasn't worth the hassle.

haha, its not the cops, I just dont think it looks as clean as 15-20%. I've done 5% on all my previous vehicles and I am getting tired of rolling down the window for left turns, etc. I used to just guess when it was raining. jk
but not really
