The car looks absolutely amazing. Props for doing a unique color.

Thought I'd comment on this. There is no way that tint can not affect your visibility. The percentage represents the amount of light that passes through the window. Your tint is letting only 15% of visible light pass through. Inherently you have reduced visibility. You're working with a LOT less light going into your car and thus your eyes. It's like walking around in the dark. You just don't see as well as you do in broad daylight, there's no way around that fact.

It's also a sure way to make any cop that ever pulls you over antsy and uncomfortable as hell if they can't see in through any of your windows.

Honestly, I have no issues with seeing through the window. I see just fine. Never got pulled over for it either *knocks on wood* but if they want to pull me over than thats fine, just give me my ticket and i'll be on my way. I've had tints on all my cars and the visibility is just fine for me.
