Well...the 35% tint went on the other day - vid below. Sorry I didn't clean her up and shine the shoes before I shot the vid. I'm very happy with the results, as it balances the black wheels.

Looks really good..it's what I had. You guys in PA can get away with it or are you just doing it anyway?

Thanks all. Here's some answers:

* In PA 35% is illegal -- never had a problem with any of my tinted cars
* Turbo wing was from my 997 turbo -- had it painted black. Fitmet was good -- needed an additional strut. Still waiting on wiring harness for wing to move up/down, fan and brake light to work. Probably about $750 in parts and labor (including paint) but the OEM wing is probably at least $3,500 (maybe more).
* Change my avatar -- not likely anytime soon. I miss that car!
* https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...3-997-2-a.html for more pics

Yanno Taylor -- Even though each aspect is not my style I gotta say it looks good all in one package.

very creative!!! Still wouldn't do it myself . But I did look twice at the video.

^^^ thanky you sir. I appreciate the compliments on creativity.

Here's another pic from afar, and without the sun glare. This shows a bit more of the overall look, and you can get a better sense as to how visibile the inside of the car is (note the steering wheel and rear view mirror being visible). My black lug nuts should be ready soon -- which I think will help.

I think one more touch will do it: smoking the tail lights a bit.
