It would be very cool to have this build on film kind of like a scrapbook.

Not a problem bro.

Re: What is in style now??

Very nice looking car man. If it were mine I would get rid of the blackouts, stickers, and wheels. The tint looks good. However, I like DARK tint. While it is true that anything darker than 35% is illegal, 35% tint is a joke in my opinion. Anything higher than 20% is just a waste to me. That is my opinion however, and I am sure others will disagree. .

I don't think he's worried about getting a ticket for the tint.:d

I see it from both ends. Being a retailer I have to explain to the customer that darker than 32% is illegal and I am not liable if they get a ticket. On this same note I also understand where any officer would say that he cannot see the individual in the car. My personal taste depends on the car. On my black car I like it dark with the whole front w/s tinted as well. On some other vehicles I would think it would look clean to have the whole car including the front w/s done in 30% or 35% so the whole car is the same and looks clean. I hate 35% because it is so light on the car once it is on. All tint fades equally over time so I don't sell a 35%, I do a 30%. From what I have been told I think there is a 2-3% leadway that the state allows to compensate for the factory tint(very very very light, maybe like 80% not noticeable just there to help with glare)... That is all.

Re: What is in style now??

yeh, i agree with tac, go mild on the tint, as for the others if it has stock GT taillights(cant tell for the blackouts) i would snag a set of LX tails and put in, always liked them better. Wheels are hard to chose, the cobra r's look good but a lot of others do too.

Is it illegal to have a small strip of tint across the top of the windshield? My Mustang had a strip like that and it was installed by a state trooper.
