For tint...you legally cannot tint your two front windows in California...AT ALL. For the back, there is no limit.

Your tint looks good and is EXACTLY the way I want mine.
F it. I'm tinting and will play dumb with "the car came this way".http://www.ft86club.com/forums/image...laughabove.gif

Hey there still are a few females in here just in their own regions most times from what I've witnessed.
@CarGirl I totally agree with you on the guys bugging chicks in nice cars, hell I even had pestering in my damn Suzuki. Just a bunch of horn dogs.
Anyway welcome to literally the most chill and supportive car group out there, they're all very helpful and welcoming not much goes on as far as pestering, aside from @humfrz at least.. Haha

Getting mine done now on my Asphalt colored FRS. Going 40% on all the sides and 8% (darkest) on the back window. All using Solarguard tint.

Also tinting the rear backup lights and reflector as well as my taillights. Pictures to come when completed. My tint guy is the best in San Jose. Tints R Us ask for Juan.

Omg im so inlove with this car. when I got her earlier from the dealership i put her on sport mode, since i wasnt used to the clutch system and i was used to my dads old corolla. Ive underestimated her hahaha. I started drifting and it put a big smile on my face I felt like a retard hahah.

I named her Scarlett. i know shes not red or anything but she reminds me of scarlett johansson hahah so sexy and aka as the black widow x)

and yeah for humfrz i'm in the airforce

That's funny, my friend and I were just talking about that an hour ago about calling mine Scarlett for the same reason

I haven't decided on a name yet BTW

The only bad news is my baby is still in transit and should arrive to the dealer some time this week. I'm itching to get my hands on the wheel!!!!

FYI for anyone in the SoCal area, Northridge has one in stock.

Already asked the dealer to put the Pilot Sports on when it arrives.

I'm looking to tint the windows so people leave me alone while I drive (Sorry guys, but you're notorious for pestering a girl in a sports car). Any suggestions on the darkest, most legal tint % in CA? I don't need LAPD riding my case, yet I want to drive incognito.

Any other lady FR-S owners out there?

Having been on prior boards for other sports cars I've owned, I'm looking forward to your advice!

PS-I think 6,000-8,000 in the last four of the VIN may be the numbering of the Monogram. If this is the case I'm #853 (i.e. 6,853). If anyone has learned more about the numbering, let me know. I'll ask the dealer when I pick mine up.
Hey @CarGirl,

Glad to see another chick on the forum! Be sure to keep us up to date on all your mods and trust me, you'll love the car. You will get some lookers though... I get stares all the time. Hence why I have a "Lady Driven" sticker above my third brake light... no surprises when guys look in my windows. :P
