    I think it would look pretty awesome with my car because ive got that black theme going on with it. Im just afraid it will cost an arm and a leg to get it done right. lol. Do you by chance have a link to pics of ur car? I would like to see the differnce between the 5% and 30%.

    Thanks Ed. I'm telling ya, tint was one of the greatest things I did to the GTP. To the OP get tint. The only reason I got 30% in the front was that is the legal limit in TX. The tint shop said though with the 5% it drops the front down to 25%, but for state inspection reasons this is the % set up I went with.

    I just checked Wisconsins tint law here Wisconsin Window Tint Law - TC Window Tint. It says that front windows must let at least 50% of the light in and back must let at least 35% in. I just dont really know with what exactly I should go with. I dont really want to attract all sorts of attention to myself by going too dark. Any suggestions to keep it close to legal?

    Nice car man, looks exactly like mine when i got it but I have charcoal interior. And dont worry, I did a top swap on a minimum wage job while saving for college, so you can do it! (Dont do it though, save for turbo.) Heres a suggestion, try silver or gold. I really really want to get some dark gold rims, but im broke/chicken. I hope you're not going to school at UW

    I generally get sick of some of the little things i do with my car so i change it up kind of alot. lol. I had mad my own set of grills out of some wire mesh stuff. Silver would look good but im not so sure bout gold. But then again ive never seen it done. haha

    Heres the ricey grilles i made. I really wanted them just down in the air dam but i thought since i was goin through the work of making those Id make the front grills match. Im now back to stock grilles and none down low again.

    I like the lower grilles, you could have left them. And I have seen a redfire metallic gold edition grand prix and it looked pretty good.
