i had a burgundy max, well before i got it painted black, and i had 20% tint all around. i think it looked good like that. now that it's black i think it would be better either limo tint or a little lighter even. but oh well.

rogman, thought I'd throw in a trivia point for the bronze tinting. The eye perceives shapes and outlines as sharper and more vivid through a bronze or amber tint. The gold shades are less jarring to the eye than a black/white or grey/white image. For the same reason, a bronze tint on a windshield can significantly reduce the appearance of glare from oncoming headlights. Often, specifically-designed driving glasses or night-driving goggles are amber-tinted. many people feel that their depth and detail perception is enhanced through an amber tint. Nice.

Of course, more important, burgundy with the gold pinstripe and bronze glass would look fantastic.

Very interesting GXEJane. That's good because I was debating this bronze/smoke/black/etc thing myself and I think bronze looks better on a silver car. My folks have OEM bronze tint on their silver minivan and I think it looks umm... good..

Now to decide what %...

Thanks Randy, I thought there was something very strange going on until I looked into the "corners" page Most of the other pics aren't tinted so I was sitting there staring at them wondering if it was a trick of the light somehow.
