I actually don’t know - the dealership in SC applied the tint and couldn’t even tell me what brand or % it was but assuming legal 35/40%.

I’m removing the front and doing 70% rears and 15% front in two weeks. I’ve done this before and it’s almost perfect match. You need front to meter 5ish % darker than rears to compensate for light coming in through the windshield in most conditions. F1 Pinnacle and F1 Stratos have both been very good black color in my experience compared to other options. I’ve never done 3M but heard Color Stable is similar. Most people won’t notice the difference but I’m very particular when it comes to matching both the darkness and color/hue. The front being lighter right now drives me crazy but some people like that look.

Found a red tree and couldn’t resist. Too bad everything behind it is hideous and the car is dirty after yesterday’s Nor’easter. May or may not have added vivid filter for dramatic effect.

Tweaked the H&R VTF a bit. Winter wheel setup. Running the DWS06 for now and changing to Pirelli Snow when it gets colder. Next up darker tint up front to match rear.

Me and an AMG63. So jealous you lower that car with software. So not jealous of the plastic wheel arches and other trim.
