I almost bought one of those to replace my civic, but then I scored a great deal on a used Lancer GTS.

I have no regrets.

i need more information than just "great deal on a GTS" to draw conclusions. 


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - Mission Difficult - 04-05-2013

After owning this car for almost a year, I finally got my windows tinted.

I got mine done a few weeks ago, haven't bothered taking pictures since it's too subtle. But it's very nice.

[/quote]35% is the lowest that's legal here, and I wasn't really interested in trying to get an exception, nor do I really like how cars look with the windows blacked out but the windshield normal, so I've got 45% film added to the stock tint. Ends up around 40, I think.

Why would having less than 35% be illegal?


Also, Achewood finally has a web store for the first time in years!

Because it can limit your visibility. My sister in law had 5% all the way around and at night you pretty much had to guess if there was a car next to you or not.

It's a 2009 Lancer GTS (Now just called GT) that had 40k miles on it and I got it for $13k, marked down from $17k.

I have 45% front, 35% rears (legal limit here) and I have a very hard time backing up at night. Way too dark.
I should have gone 45% all around, keep it looking balanced. I think that will be the plan if we ever tint the wagon.

In my province, trucks and vans only have a tint limit on the front windows, the rears can be painted solid if you wanted.

What's the appeal to window tinting in the first place?

So you can smoke weed without the cops seeing you? That's what everyone around me used to believe.

RIP in peace comcast internet connection 4044x3860

Wouldn't sunglasses be a superior alternative if that was the only motive?

I guess it helps keep your car cooler in the sun but we have air conditioning so that's not a very good point.
