Do you know what percent tint you have? I've been looking to tint my windows and that looks good.
Surprised only a couple votes? Went to a car show this past Saturday and most people I talked to said it looked good and matched the front lip. Obvioisly not high quality like a 3DCarbon but for $50 or so its cool.

My tint is 50% front windshield, 50% driver/pass, 35% rear doors, 20% very back windows. Love the front windshield tinted makes the legal front doors look darker.

To be honest, i don't much care for it. Not that it looks bad, but it doesn't really add anything to the car.

In my eyes, that's $50 you could have put towards something else. A set of svt side skirts maybe.

Save your money buy SVT side skirts. This looks pretty cheap, and I don't mean that as a positive.

Thumbs down

Looks like the vinyl floor edging from Home Depot cut in half, and you used the angled side and 3m tape to stick it to the car.

I like it, but to be honest if I did it I would position the rubber differently.

You've got it right on the edge so it flares out and draws attention to itself. I'd position it farther underneath so it didn't throw off the visual line of the car. Same effect, more subtle result.

I like it. I would do it to my white 3d ZX3 hatch if a kit was only 50 bucks for sure.
