    Adding 25% tint to the Black Edition today

    I'm going to my usual tint guy, he's done my 2014, 2021, and now he's doing the G4 today. I'll post pics, hopefully they won't be sideways.

    3M Obisidian at 25%. Their economy charcoal tint but still highly effective and good but not great quality.

    Driving there today at 330pm the temp was 98° and the new AC did okay but not fantastic. Once you get over 100° these HVAC units are struggling and kills your fuel economy too.

    After an hour and the temp dropping to 92°, they finished and the drive home was glorious. Big difference in interior car temp.

    I can't recommend 3M quality tint enough. Even their economy package tint is superb.

    I'd rather have a console than the BE's pointless rain sensing wipers. It's not that hard to find the intermittent speed on the wipers to match the rain.

    Looks even better when the pics aren't sideways.

    Yeah I have to hold my phone sideways for it to post correctly on here. It's the only site where it's like that.

    Sideways is man-mode and the correct way for video. Photos too in my opinion. When you hold your phone vertically, do you extend your pinkys up into the air, and do a little curtsy?

    You car(s) look fantastic. I'm all jelly.
