If you like the sound of a good exhaust, that's the way to go. I will be very happy when you post pictures when you take delivery. My old man has a white G8 GT with limo tint.... Let's just say he still gets compliments 8 years later. He's anal about his car when it comes to that kind of stuff so you can guess where I get it from lol

I will post some pics when I get it and after I have the tints done although they do tell me that the rear windows already have the darkest tint we are allowed here.

Do your police enforce the tint law? We have many illegal tinted windows around here. Most places will only allow you to pay cash if you are wanting illegal tint. What percentage are you allowed? I usually do 20 % all around and 50 % on the windshield. It looks good with black interior. I've went darker with tan interior even though I vow never to get anything other than red or black interior for the rest of my life...

Police can enforce it but generally don?t unless they are pissed at you. It is however checked annually through our vehicle testing stations for the annual warrant of fitness, and they can fail the vehicle if too dark. We are allowed up to 35% on side and rear windows but no tint allowed on windscreens. And they?re strict!

I'm sorry for your laws regarding tint lol we have them but the aren't really enforced unless I did something else (speeding, reckless driving, etc.). They go by each state so some are allowed darker than others and vice versa.

Because the Stingers rear window is so small and steeply raked, I wonder whether it is a good idea to tint it. I will defo get the sides done, maybe a lighter tint on the rear

I had my A5 done (same designer as Stinger) with a smallish back window and it was fine. And the stinger has cameras if necessary.
