Own a light colored Max? Step inside please...

Anyone here with a light colored Max, preferably sunlit sand, can you post pics of the car if you have tint? I wanna get mine done this week so I'm just looking for a reference point. Bonus points if you have reflective metallic tint, not mirrored, but smoked or charcoal tint that is slightly reflective. That's what I 'm hoping to get... thanks!

Check out my homepage for pics. I have 20% bronze tint all the way around. The bronze looks very good for this type of colored car. I think it's much better than smoked. I get alot of compliments.

Thanks fir the pics guys... I have an appointment tomorrow at noon at Mr. Tint in West Springfield. The metallic tint is like 42 or 38% so it keeps everything legal on the side windows, then I'm getting a step darker on the back window, somewhere in the 20's. I'll take pics tomorrow when it's done and post them tomorrow night.

Well fellas here are the results... decided to go 35% all around, but they didn't have the metallic reflective tint big enough to do the rear window, so I opted to get regular non-reflective tint instead, cheaper anyways... here are the results...

Looks good! Still looks kinda "light" to me. I like the more darker % than 35% IMHO. How about some pics in direct sunlight?

looks good dj- what choices did they have?

personally i also like the tint to be a little darker, but we gotta sacrifice a little in order to keep the tint legal here

They had the metallic tint in 45% and 35%, but they didnt have the 35 in large enough sheets to do a back window, so I had to go with regular tint. For that they had 50, 35, 20, 15, and 5 i believe.
