Yeah... I'm still debating if I should tint my two side windows to match my Mugen rear window.

For sure. I'm down for that.

I really need to find a hose hookup around my apartment complex so I can wash my car there. The damn car wash bays are a rip-off at $1.50 for 4 minutes.

Also saw your car today at the gym. How the hell do you keep it so clean! I'm jealous.
Make plans to come to one of our local detail days out in O'Fallon. It's a drive, but your car will never look as good as after this event. I'm sure most can vouch for that.

Also... If you are (or anyone else is) interested, I have tinting experience and would be more than happy to tint your ride for you for the cost of supplies only. We did 5 AP1 rear windows last fall for a cost of $15/window. Can't do much better than that. You can purchase Pre-Cut window tint for any model S. Application is very simple and will save you about 50% of the cost. Check here

I had 30% on my last car and it was just about perfect. I could still see out at night and it was just dark enough where you couldn't quite see into the car. I have a feeling 30% will look darker from the outside because of two less windows and the ragtop
The darker you go, the more insane it gets at night. I had 5% all around and there was no way you could see anything at night. Went to 25% on sides and 15% in rear and it worked out really well. I've since gone back to limo (5%) in rear.

Remember, the darkness of the tint only becomes an issue when the top and windows are up. Since the S is not my DD, I rarely drive it unless I put the top down.

Below are some pictures of 25% on sides and 15 in rear.

Awesome, thanks for the pics!

I have been told the detail days are awesome, so I can't wait for the weather to warm up. Just kills me to see my car covered in salt

As far as the tint goes I think I'll go with 25% all around. I'm sure since the car is GPW the contrast will be even more sharp/apparent.
