New tints and painted turbo twists

Well I finally got around to doing a little sprucing up of the ole 996. I ended up doing 20% all around tints and a low gloss gun metal paint for the rims. I also wanted to have the brakes painted red but the body shop was afraid to do it claiming they didn't want to be responsible if the paint didn't hold up.

Looks great. Any idea what the tint laws are in your area, or do you even care?

Looking good. You can easily do the calipers yourself using Dupli Color products. I did mines a few weeks ago... https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-calipers.html

Thanks. I'm not to sure what the exact laws are but 20% in the front is most likely illegal if i had to guess. As you said though, I'm not overly concerned about.
