Tint on Sunroof?
I just got my Max tinted with Llumar Platinum Plus. The shop did an awesome job and it looks really good on the Max. I was coming home from the shop and decided to open my sunroof panel. I was almost blinded by the bright sun coming through. I was checking to see who all got the sunroof tinted as well. With the panel open, it seems as though the rest of the tint job is worthless.
Before I get
I will be posting pics once it stops raining.

I'll be tinting my moonroof...my sister and my girlfriend's Honda and Acura have tint moonroofs and I like them a lot. It should make the interior less hot and less intense. Maybe I'll try and tint it myself, since it's such a small rectangle.

I tinted mine 15% and enjoy it much more now that I have 3 choices (shade closed, shade open, window open) instead of two (shade closed, window open).

Craig Mack, what are you talking about? You can still see easily out the sunroof with 5%... it's backlit by this multi-million candlepower thing. At night you don't have to see out, or you can open it. When the sun is shining you have to keep the shade closed so it's useless as a vent.
I say
to the way it came stock and 
to 5% or mirror tint.

I am going to get the sunroof tinted. I don't know if there are any restrictions on the tint on a sunroof in NC.

and to whomever mentioned the laws about tinting the roof... there are none. There's a piece of cardboard you can use to cover it and that doesn't break any laws, so making it darker shouldn't worry any law enforcement people

I wanted to stay legal. With the factory tint (70% or whatever it is), it brings the total to 34.6 or 34.7%. I wanted a reflective tint because the flat black at 35% would have looked ghey.

For some reason I can't see pics
BUT - I had 35% Platinum Plus put on my black I35 on Tuesday, so I know what it looks like
I love it.
EDIT: I had mine done where 2k2PhatMax had his done, and they cut the tint off at the dots and place black vinyl over them. It looks good.

5% all around and a 20% on the windshield, i wanted to do the sunroof but guy told me "in 20 years of tinting, i have never did a sunroof nor have I did a job as dark as yours", i told him he needs more experiences.
