I applied 35% all around (not the windshield). The tint has a very faint blue hue, with matches the faint blue hue of the Atlas Grey.

Wow - looks great. Questions:
1) What brand of film?
2) When you say all-around, you don't mean windshield also do you?
3) How much $$?

I paid $300 for the tint. Kinda expensive, but I got a decent deal on my wife's car, which was done the same day. Matico makes the tinting film.
The ride height will be reduced soon.
I am ordering parts this week.
I am using a Canon 20D Digital SLR. I'm in Northern California.
I hope my car will look like this after the H&R springs are installed. I hope to get a track day in prior to the suspension mod.

hey riotgear -
I have the same camera. I could tell instantly that you were using an SLR from the superior quality of the images...
Your car is beautiful. Nice work!

Be ready for the rough ride with the H&R's...my old 996 was very bumpy with them...I do like to lower ride height look though....
Let me know what you think after installation.

JASCLASS, thanks. I'm not a fan of dark tint either.
Robert, if the car handles better I'll take the harsher ride. The 996 + H&Rs did handle better, right?
I'm curious to know if the PSS9 suspension kit is substantially better. If so, I may just wait and get those. I've had coilovers in my last 3 cars.
