That first color blue is a little bit too light, imo, it needs to be a bit darker...

YES! Your car looks awesome with tinted windows, just watch out for evil cops...

Actually, for now i'm just going for getting the turbo engine installed and running. After that, i'll worry about tinting and shibby like that.

Oh i was just playin around w/ that blue. The blue that i am going to have eventually, on my next fb, is much darker and richer. No black, but chrome window moulding, painted front bumper moulding, and painted mirrors. polished door handles and locks. polished 17" simmons rims.

What i'm really experimenting w/ is that tint job.

My rear windows are all tinted about that dark and it looks pretty good..makes it look like one big wrap-around window
The side windows are a way lighter, but that [photoshop] looks pretty good to me

You need to go darker shade of blue!! LOL

You have a one of a kinda rx7, and everybody knows you by the ways your car is done.

besides clear lenses don't match dark cars

I am planning on tinting my windows, but I can't decide between the chrome fade to black, or just plain black. If I got black, I'd probably do side windows 35%, and rear 15%. Cops might not like that, but eff them.
