Not sure I like it, tint too dark?

Thank you!
I painted the trim pieces with spray paint and have the wheels powder coated gloss black with gold accents.

I'm thinking of going a whole different direction in the next couple years with new wheels and a wrap, but I really liked how the gold turned out.

it’s gorgeous. I think the extra trim you did around the 2 smaller sections of the side grills combined with the wheels really kicks it off. Is that a light tinting of the side reflectors too?

back on topic, IMO anything darker than 20% on sides / rear is not livable at night. It’s already hard to see out of this car even with clear windows. For me 35% is the perfect amount. I never supported windshield tint either, I see these idiots with 20% windshield and wonder how long before they hit something, why would you want to destroy your forward vision? However these days you can get a good 70-80% IR film on the windshield that really doesn’t reduce vision at all but gives the heat rejection benefit. Still, I’ll leave my windshield alone. Put up a sun shade if needed.

Yea I found the side reflector tint on ebay or amazon, and those pieces on the front at stick on pieces from ebay that I painted.

I agree about the wind shield tint, I have 70% on mine and its perfect. I not sure about other tint brands but my tinter used XPEL tint and you can get a clear tint that has really good IR resistance. I could really tell the difference in the temp in the cab after it was done. XPEL tint in general is really good.
