There are no holes underneath the trunk badges, if you remove the spoiler there are 5 holes under that...
Yep, 35% is the legal limit in NC.

Depo tails are JDM replicas. Supposed to be close enough to pass a side-by-side except for "Depo" stamp instead of "Stanley". They make flat black and "gunmetal" which is supposedly gloss black. I think the gunmetal ones look a little grey in the Depo pics, so I'm not taking that chance on my TB.

The wiring is of inferior quality supposedly, but people have swapped their stock bulb mini-harnesses. That is probably what I would do if I weren't planning on getting mine painted. They also have a reputation for allowing condensation in, but most people seal them with flowable silicone before installing, and I plan to do this to mine.

Here are a couple links:

And these are the ones I bought:
JDM style Depo tails, ~$180 shipped

Yep. They do allow a 2% variance to account for the mild factory tint, but I wouldn't chance it because they will fail you in a second.

I had to steam all the tint off my Mini Cooper S because it came it at just under.

ROBERT! You're alive! Hope everything is well with the wife and kid. You guys need to come to one of the lunch meets now that it's warming up.

Nice shots Jason. I still think that rear shot in front of the windows is money

Suvs and trucks rear windows and have as dark as you wont them but the front two windows have to be 35.

There is some say, may have change. Legal limit is 32 but they don't make 32 tint the next thing that will pass is 35%

Most people know this about SUV's and trucks, but it's worth mentioning for those that don't. Thanks.

But for Evo's, I'll be rocking 35% because I don't have time to deal with it.
