have a pearl white ext on blk leather int.

not sure if i should get reflective or not.

anyone have any pics of pearl white with tint

 

white would look awesome with 20% or lower black tint

reflective is a bit ricey IMO

 

what i have in mind is a black reflective look, not mirrored/silver, do they make those? not sure if ive seen it around

 

Tint the front windows. I've seen some cars that only tint the rear b/c of the law, but that looks ugly.

I'm probably going with 35% all around since I want to be able to see at night. Or I might go with 20% in the rear and 35% in the front windows so the don't start something all the time... Plus I got a tan interior so it won't look that dark

 

I'm not sure I know what you mean by black reflective, maybe you mean dark enough so you see your reflection when you look at it? like on a limo?

 

Do 20% all around. It looks dumb with the fronts different than the back. I had a friend who tinted his 35 on the fronts and 20 on the rears and he had it redone so it was 20 all around. Just my opinion though.

 

The difference between 20 and 35 isn't big enough to make it look bad, at least not on a black on black car...

 

Check out my car at my homepage...reflective tint 39%

 

Go with 20% tint all around... otherwise you'll kick yourself in the *** for not doing it in the first place. That's how it was in my case. I did 35% front and 20% back... now it's 20% all around, a lot nicer... you CAN tell the difference.

In terms of the reflective stuff and charcoal... the reflective mirror stuff is flashy and will get you pulled over. My friend tinted his blue WRX with some sweeeeeeet *** reflective blue mirror tint and got pulled over the first day on his way through Iowa. He hasn't had a problem while in Nebraska, but is having to consider taking off the fronts (he drives through Iowa regularly).

Usually you'll only get a citation for illegal tint, if you break some other law first (ie. speeding).

 

I own a pearl white max with tint. Dont really know what percent it is, but its the darkest I could get and still be legal.

.

 

i have 35% fronts 20% backs. im satisfied with it and have had no cops mess with me in over a year.

 

Doesnt look legal to me, maybe the bush behind the car.

 

Ok, how about this one


The rear is darker then the front. Its legal here in Texas. Im not too sure what the percentage is. Id have to ask the guys who tinted it. Mothers windows did it.

 

It's probably around 35% in the front and around 20% in the rear.

I want 35% in the front since it's illegal to tint the front windows, but I also want to be able to see through it at night. I don't like it when my car is burning in the summer. I know that the suburban cops (not Chicago cops) are going to say something...

 

20% all the way around.

Edit: This pic is better.

 

You got a pic of your rear? Why does the tails look like they've been painted white on top?

 

It's the only side shot I have of my car. I was messing around in photoshop to see what red/clears would look like with my tint.

 

ooo okay

 

reflective is a bit tacky on white... IMHO

 

mirror/silver is not the only tint considered "reflective." The tint i have on my car is reflective, yet it is still black. some manufacturers use metal in the tint material, which when viewed in direct sunlight, you will notice a reflection not only from your glass. Solargard is one particular manufacturer (they offer black in reflective and non-reflective). Check out google for their offerings.

and also, dont think that you will only get pulled over and harrassed about your tints if you were pulled over for something else also. I was pulled over (in NY) because my "tints are too dark..." not for speeding or anything else.

 

Yeah here in chicago you usually get hassled about tint as a secondary offense(I know I30TMIKED will disagree), meaning you get **** about them after they pull you over for something else...

 

I had 20 bronze on my old 90SE. Damn did she look ffffiiiinnnee!

 

i have reflective on my max and it looks good, but only at certain angles. i truely wish i would have gone black but my dad thought i would look like a drug dealer so i had to get mirror. overall i like it, it is 30% all the way around

 

I've got 35% tint all round (4 doors + rear), it's good enough for me.

 

i have 35% but if i can go back i would get 45% or 50%

 

i have a 96 artic(as you say pearl)white that still has the factory black tint from nissan and i am satisfied. I'd go with good ol' black myself.

 

you need 5% son.
