Super excited to join the gen5 club!

Won an auction for a 2011 Summit White 1LT RS Camaro! I pick up the car on thursday and I can't wait!! I've been all over these forums for weeks and have a million ideas to mod it. First things first, powder coat the rims and tint the windows!
Just wanted to get my first post on the website!

Any idea how dark I should do the windows? is 30% enough or should it do 20%?

Welcome to the board and congrats on your new Camaro! Go dark on the windows and when you're ready for some extra horsepower give us a shout!

It was a credit union auction. I live in California so its illegal to tint the front but most people do it anyways. My buddy got pulled over with a 30% and the cop didn't even mention it. Maybe I should do that, a ticket does not sound fun. Sorry to hear about yours!

I just moved to CA a week ago and I'm debating the same thing..... Just how dark to tint. Good luck with your decision and enjoy the ride.

Good thing you don't live in Virginia, they will write you a ticket quickly for window tint if you are beyond state limits. My husband and I have both been pulled over just for tint being too dark.....and we both got tickets. I'd go as dark as possible .

Also, welcome to the site and congrats on the car!
