Would be too dark for my liking, but as long as you're happy with it yourself...

Who did you get to do the work??

Hang up your oakleys... that is DARK!

Very hip and cool and all, but not to my liking. What percentage tint is it?
I'm considering getting 25% back and sides. That looks like 50%????

from looking around different places in Dublin there are three main types light, medium and dark. the light is to light and you might as well not have any, the dark is dark, and I got the medium.

The reason for getting them is I drive up the north two to three times a week and in the mornings the sun blinds me through the drivers side window going north and the in the evening it is the same on the way back to Dublin so hopefully no more driving headaches

hmmm, light medium and dark...

I'm guessing that:
light == 25%
medium == 50%
dark == 75%

or something like that???
if so 75% would be absolutely daft, and probably completely illegal.

i know some places will offer a different variety of gradients, so that its not a choice between light or dark. I'd get the tints done purely for security reasons - makes it very difficult to smash the glass in. (It still breaks outwards in the event of an accident)

Am still thinking of upgrading alright - haven't decided whether to go with Supersprint or Eisenmann though - I want a slashed pipe but Eisenmann don't seem to do it, so it's looking like Supersprint at the moment. Won't be for about two months or so though...

I was talking to someone in galway and they are talking €550 i think. they are the Irish distributors for Eisenmann.

Well the crowds I was looking at in Germany are between €480 and €550 - which you'd make up for with the shipping.

If theres someone in Galway doing them for €550 then that would seem to make more sense.
