Default tinted and de-striped

finally had a warm day so decided to work on the car for a bit. I tinted the windows (20%) and removed the pinstripe, rear bowtie emblem, and dealer sticker.
It looks sooo much more cleaner im lovin it.

bigboi- looks good. it is a good choice to have a pro do the rear window, like you said. I originally tried to tint my own windows but the shape of the back window in MCs is STUBBORN. I'm not sure of the window tint laws where you are from, but here's a tip on not getting tint tickets. Wire a switch to your power window controls and mount the switch by your foot so that if you get pulled over you can just press the switch and cut the power to your windows. Then when the cop asks you to roll down your windows to check the tint, guess what?you can't!! I haven't done this but I've thought about it after getting two tint tickets and a verbal warning. I have 5% in the back and used to have 20% in front but I lightened the front to 35% because my neighbor is an eye doctor, and I helped him take his dock out of the water this fall in exchange for a 35% window tint subscription!!

the law is 27% here, but ive had 20% on my last 4 cars with no issues from the cops (knock on wood) and if it came down two getting one its a fix-it ticket and the same buddy who will be doing the rear can write me a recipt saying it was removed without doing a thing. He is running 5 on the sides 2.5 on the rear and 35 on the windshield (yes the windshield)

The law here in iowa says that you can go as dark as you want on the back, but can only have 70% in the front. And since they don't make tint as light as 70%, that basically means that you can't have any tint in the front. I've always seen tint laws as completely worthless and passing them in the first place was a waste of the legislature's time. I mean honestly, how many lives have been saved by these laws? It's the same thing with neon underglow laws and front license plate laws. Seriously, don't state legislatures have ANYTHING better to do with their time instead of needlessly limiting car customization in the name of baseless safety claims?

Looks good. I have to take my tinting off - got busted by the state police. Might just ignore it or say I had it redone.
