The form gets sent to DMV and they add it to your registration for the car. With the new laws I don't believe you can be pulled over for tint...they would need another reason.

Seriously thinking about skipping the front plate, too. I love the look without it. See how long I can enjoy it before my first stop.

It's brutal for you guys in VA. I hear stories of Police stopping people for not having their license plate 100% free from snow or their windshield...

Reckless driving at 20mph over speed limit.

However I think all this has changed with Covid. They are being more picky about who they stop. Surely they won't stop a beautiful M2CS. Tell em you know the Big Guy

You should live in Australia.

If you are 2 miles per hour over the limit, you could pay $300 fine and lose 3/12 points on your licence.

Do 20 over the limit and you'll lose your car, your licence, and $2k

How else are you supposed to outrun a kangaroo?

That's what I keep telling them, but who listens to me?

Wow .. after your opening line I thought you were going to say it was the wild west Down Under and you could drive it like there's no tomorrow. Didn't appreciate the tough motor laws there.

There actually is a 500km-long section of road North of Alice Springs where you can do whatever speed you like, But you've got to be careful of animals on the road.

It's really remote so it's you, the shifter, and the sunset, real roads, everyday conditions. A little more fun than going to track as there might not be as many surprises at the track.

Were you imagining this?

Looks great, thanks for sharing.

I'm torn between 20% and 30%, but I think I'd rather err on too dark than too light. I can get away with 20% in FL.

Kangaroo is quite tasty. A bit gamey but very nice if correctly prepared.

I believe that we are the only country that can eat our coat of arms. I once had a kangaroo and emu plate with hot sauce. Delicious.

Has anyone used Rayno S9 before? I believe it's a newer film, but it's supposedly a high end ceramic.

A local shop with good reviews will do 15% all around. My quote was $399 for everything except the windshield.

Alpine* · 02-17-2021, 03:34 AM

Decided I’m going to leave the glass naked, I love a set of clean windows.

I went with Xpel XR 30% instead. I'm glad I didn't go any darker, but I'm liking this setup.

Sorry for the bad pics, just came in from its first drive in the rain back from the shop. Good news is detail and full PPF on Monday!

medphysdave · 02-19-2021, 04:56 PM

That looks really good.

Looks good! My car is at the detailer but I am also going with XPEL 30%.... was undecided between 30 or 35%. Looks dark!

Thanks. The FL sun will be out tomorrow. I'll clean it and take pics in the light. It's a bit dark, but not crazy. I think it's great for privacy but still not limo type dark.

Another member with BSM also has the 30% Xpel and I also commented that it looks more like a 20%.

Damn now I'm back to leaning towards 35% on my Misano Blue.

Can't wait to see your 30% in the sun!

Can you please post pics of the 35%? Is your M2C also 35%? Thanks!

medphysdave · 02-20-2021, 07:39 AM

I think that xr 30% is my favorite so far. Darker than the 35%, but doesn't have the blacked out look that comes with the 20%.
