Cross posting from the other board(s). ;)

Well, technically yesterday since it's now Monday(nearly 2am EST). Anyways, on to the pictures. I hosted them at imagevenue as photobucket was reducing the quality.

Click the thumbnail images for the full size versions. Imagevenue will probably scale them down to your screen size if you're using a resolution smaller than 1024x768(that's what I resized them to).






The car still has a laundry list of cosmetic issues that I will eventually take care of. I'll post a detailed list of those later today. Overall, it still looks pretty good...especially considering I paid $500 for it(well, $350 after I sold the spare turbo that came with it  ;) )The "Bright Red" paint code is definitely not an understatement, it's BRIGHT! :cool:

EDIT: Added three pictures that I forgot to post.

Matt, what % tint are you running on that car?

Nick, I'm not positive what % it is. The car already had tint on it when I bought it. It's a great deal darker than the 35% tint on my black car. If I had to guess I'd say it's around 20-25%. I'll look at the windows today and see if there are any stickers indicating the percentage...I doubt there are any though(my black car had stickers on each window that showed what percentage they were + a sticker showing who tinted it).

As I figured, there was no sticker on this car showing the percentage. My black car has a sticker on the rear window that shows the company that did the tinting + the percentage on the rear(20%) and the sides(35%). I looked a few cars with 20% tint on them and they looked just as dark as the tint on my Red car.

Most tint shops have a meter that can show you the percentage of your tint....or your local law enforcement facility will have one.

I don't think it will go over to well with a law enforcement officer as 35% is the legal limit here. :laugh: I'm almost positive that it's 20%.
