Well, this past weekend was a nice tease here in CT with the weather (70 on Fri). As it is now snowing outside, I guess I will have at least a couple more days to drive myself crazy thinking about mods.
So far this winter, I have added Steeda door sill plates and MGW knobs (on the way) to the interior and a sequential taillight kit as well. The final thing I have been tossing back and forth is getting my windows tinted. Now, before everyone starts in with "darker is better" , I cannot go illegal. Recently there have been some neighboring towns cracking down on this and I do not want the hassle.
.
I have 20% all around on my Explorer, and have been lucky with it so far, but my Mustang attracts more attention and I do not want to add more. I am older now and the idea of having to worry about it is not worth it. (I had 3 layers of 20% on my car in HS, and was "warned" about it many times.)
So while the legality of the darker tint, the dot matrix, and the apparent risk of the front doors scratching the tint has left me leaning toward just leaving the car alone and saving the money for something else, I am also considering 35% all around.
I do not like the look of darker in the back (I tried this in the past too, but I was not crazy about the visual difference of the two) and going 20% or lower on the driver's and passenger door will be too dark for legal.
So if anyone has a pic of a 99-04 with 35% all around I would greatly appreciate it being posted. I searched but could not find one for sure.
Thanks, and hopefully the weather can straighten itself out now that it is officially spring!
