Any suggestions for window tint colors/% for my 2000 GLE charcoal grey with light grey leather interior? I like some of the metallics I've seen-I want something that looks classy, reflects the sun, but not too Elvis or mafioso.
Thanks, Lisa

 

Just get black tint. Depending on how **** cops are around your area, I would go 30% sides and 20% back windshield.

 

Go presidential, I have fallen in love and to me it's worth the risk. However for you...going with a clean 15% all around or atleast in the back and 25% in the front changes the entire appearance of the car. Here is a pic mine after 5% all the way around and 50% on the windsheild. This is extreme, but a mild smoke or black would make your car look and feel completely different. And no more feeling like your in a fish bowl.

 

is that you inside circuit sh!tty chop-shop?

 

oh yeah, i would get 15% mettalized film. i think it would look awsome on a black/charcoal car.

 

heres 35% lisa, go to my cardomain page for more pics

 

yea, but im not responsible for poor installs from untrained installers! not all of us are soo bad

 

Getting deep tints in FL isn't really a problem because it's hot and sunny there but what can I say to a cop in snowy 20 degree weather lol?

I'll probably do 50-60% on the windshield, 35% in the front and 5% in the rear

 

why did you get your front windshield tinted?

I got 20 percent in the rear and 35 in the front, in texas you can have whatever in the back as long as the front is 35

 

i know. i do my own ice installs, but you guys do decent work, depending on experience.

 

35% Llumar Stealth Tint...best i've over owned. I have it on all my cars.

 

tinting windshield really help cut down the glare from oncoming traffic at night and like when you driving towards the sun. i had my windshield tinted on my other car and when i got the maxima it felt so bright when i drive so i had to get my windshield tinted again haha if you go 50% on windshield it won't be too noticeable.

plus it gives it a more of a complete look

 

I just got 20% all around today except my windshield. If it stops raining I will go post some before and afters.

 

I just loved the way the whole car is stealth. In mid day, the only thing you can see inside the car is my hand on the steering wheel. I have had one girl come up and clean her teeth using my passenger window as a mirror. She had no clue that I was sitting a mere 1-2 ft. from her face inside the car. I like the fact that noone can see my mug while I'm driving and the fact the my car cools down ridiculously fast in 100 degree weather. However if you are not set on getting the tint this dark, worrying about cops is not worth it in the long run. In all honesty I worry every time I drive by a cop. Trying to roll down the windows in time so they can't tell gets to be a PITA, but it's definetly worth it to me. You have to figure out how mild or wild(i don't know that you can get "wild" tint) you want to go. on the windsheild helping with glare and sun... I LOVE IT!

O, and stay away from the metallics ...ugly if the you don't have titanium ed.

 

Here is my newly tinted car. I just got it today. It is 20% all around except the windshield.
NO-TINTS



TINTS

 

Love the tint-you said 20% all around. Is that enough to block out our NM sun which does horrible things to interiors, etc? Also, what color-is it mettalized?

Where do I find out if tinting is legal in the state of NM?

Thanks, Lisa

 

Wow, your Maxima looks great. I really want the front & rear windows tinted because of the intensity of the sun and temperature here in NM.

What are the drawbacks of tinting?

 

uhhh, no draw backs. unless it is illegal where you live..

 

i think only drawback i have is it being more hard to see out at night...especially parallel parking at night in the rain =/ have to roll down windows to see haha

 

im from nj and the tint laws are pretty ridiculous here. ive had people tell me that its legal to tint the back windows as dark as you want, but then ive also have heard people get pulled over for it too. anyone from jersey think tints are worth it? im torn on whether or not to get them and take the risk.

 

i got 35% too. anything darker is unsafe IMO> i had 20% on my other car and at night i could see s h i t!!!!!!

 

Pics of 20% titanium. 20% is legal in some states. check your local laws!

 

perhaps you need an eye exam. i had 15%, on my 94 SE, and was able to see fine at night

 

hahaha i was saying this exact quote aloud right before i scrolled down and read this. I have 5% (see above) on the car and i can still see at night... a little. I also don't have the sunroof touched so if I really am having trouble w/ visibility then I can open the sunshade and I get plenty of light even from the moon. Also this is awesome for illegal tint. you can just slide open the shade and...bam...you got instant 25% (or what looks like it) tint on the car.

 

quick question...stock sunroof don't come tinted huh? i had to put 20% on my sunroof too haha

 

depends on the dealer. but usually no the sunroof does not come tinted. my moms came with a real light but noticeable tint like 50% or something. Dealers do the tinting though.

 

I have 30% on my Camaro's windshield and am still debating if I want to get my Maxima's windshield done.


camaro

 

I Like The Chrome And Black Mix Tint. Anyone Know Of A Shop In Nyc That Does This Kinda Tint Cause Alot Of Shops Dont Do It !

 

Please tell me that you aren't serious. Not cool on ricers, and def. not cool on a classy max. I don't even know if quality tint companies make this type, sorry...wasn't worth researching.

 

About to go get tints tommrow. I'll show you pics. Before and After.

Lisa heres a site for local laws, check it out.

I just put 20% metallized black tint on my '01 of the same color .. and i'm very pleased with the outcome, don't have pics just yet, soon to come.

i also suggest getting the 5%/15% on the sunroof if you have one..
and definately get the sunshade at the front tinted.. looks good even over factory blue-strip
