I'm tossing the idea around, just a simple 35% all around.
I think it would look great against the Sterling Mist color of my car.

What do you guys think?

 

yaaaaaaaay

 

Defintely dude, I'm happy with my 35%

 

A nice modest tint would give a good compliment to the car. Especially you have a lot of Black on the car.If you can try a quick Photoshop on the windows should help give a idea of how the tint could look.

 

yah deff.....i havent seen 35% but its prolly a little light...i would go 5% but where i live cops dont really care about that so i would go for 20% if i were you

 

Tints always look good on dark cars but I think it would look pretty str8 on your Sterling Mist too IMHO

 

I've got quotes for $190 to do the whole car. I think the film is Llumar.. Any opinions on different films available?

 

Go for it, it will blend with the vinyl on the doors nicely.

 

Good point!

 

NIce more and more Atl people are showing up on the forums.

 

tint 20%, thats what i'm doing after I get my brake tag in July and take off my light 35%.. Tint it because it helps a lot in the summer months...

 

Yes.


I'm planning on retinting mine to 35% or maybe even 50% all around. 15% in back is just wayy too dark for me.

 

u should do it tom!

 

35% is too light IMO. i always see ppl get 35 percent, take it off later, and add 20 percent.

 

I just got 35% put on my max today and I think it made it look like a whole new car..the 35% is nice for those who want the tint but don't want it real dark

 

apparently its a huge hassle to remove the tint on the rear window due to the defroster, the tint places i've talked to say they would remove the tint for free if not for the rear window and charge me 40 bucks for the removal.
im going to go for 20 percent even though 35 percent is legal limit in the front. i dont want to 2 or 3 tone it...i might go darker in the back, who knows.
whats the deal with that mirror tint? that stuff can be LIGHT and still is hard as hell to see in...i was considering it.

 

yeah thats true.. thats' the situation im in now.. i'll be re-tinting to 20% after my brake tag... I'm gonna get the brake tag with the 35% just for no trouble but it was too light...

 

What color is your interior? I'd do 35% if its black, and 25% if its silver/tan.

I have 29% (registers as 25% via cop meter) Quantum film on the sides, and 19% on the rear. I love this film, it doesnt look as dark as it is, so its easier to get away with it. Not to mention, it gives it a sleek lighter color compared the usual black, but its nothing flashy like that sh!tty chrome tint. Look at my sig, the black maxima to my right has 50% regular film and has a black interior. Mine is tan.

I honestly cant go back to no tint, it makes driving so much better. Also keeps theives from looking in to see what to steal. I'd go for it.

 

35% is nice shade would look good if your not far from philly i can do it for 150$

Do it, you won't regret it. 35% is a nice safe tint if the police are tough on it in your area. I put 20% on my black Max last summer and it is beautiful! I haven't been given any sort of hassle so far.

 

It's your car; do what you want to it.

That being said, I haven't ever regretted my deciding to go with 20% all around.

~THT

 

When I get some money I want to do 35%. I think here in CA it's better to be safe.

 

anyone have any pics they can post of sterling silver with tint?

 

Dang ya'll prob hate my tint...I have 50 front/35 rear/ 15 back glass. I would actually say go with a platinum tint instead of black on your color car, it'll probably blend better. And from what I'm told platinum tint actually blocks sun rays better but whatever you do it'll work

 

35% ? no ! 15% ? HELL YA ! why??? see sig !

 

just do whatever, tint looks good on just about anything...

 

i got 20% on the sides and 5% on the rear windshield...w/ the beige car/interior its light enough that u can still see thru in the day, barely. and its dark enought that u cant see through at night.

 

i got pulled over for having 20 % in front =(. Fix it ticket S cali

 

I did 35% llumar high performance black all around (twice as thick as regular and has very slightly reflecting mirror in it). $180. I am happy with it but will be happier with 20% all around as per 35% is very light at day time. If had the money will redo it 20% all around, but at the same time cops harrase you for tint around here. Wanted to remove/replace back window for 20% to make the interior look darker and protect speakers and leather but tint guy told me was impossible and will damage rear defroster plus may charge me about $80 or more.
Now I am thinking of tinting my windshield but afraid of tickets.
Do not go any lower that 20%; very dangerous, specially at night; can't even see mirrors to pass or turn or back up.

 

of course you need tints man!! it would give the car a clean look to!

 

llumnar is good - biggest thing is lifetime warranty from the shop and you are set.

I went with 20% rears - 35% front - 50% windshield. 35% all around except windshield is pretty good.

Tints: I will boldly go where nobody has gone yet in this topic: don't get tinted. I appear to be part of a shrinking minority of people who cannot stand tinted windows. I think they compromise safety, and harm the appearance of your car. If your car does not have tinted windows, drivers behind you can see through your car to the car ahead, allowing better, safer reactions to abnormal driving situations and sudden stops. Tinted windows (and high profile vehicles) completely eliminate this buffer of safety. Additionally, your eyes adjust to the lack of tint on the windshield, so looking out behind and to the sides takes longer for your eyes to adjust; time that you do not have at your disposal when driving. In short, you cannot see out as well. Obviously, you cannot see in as well, either. Why would you ever want that? "Privacy," the masses will shout in unison. Friends, what do you do in your car that is so private? Besides, I want people to see that it is I driving this fine machine, even on the cold days when my windows are closed.

 

I think it would look hot.

 

yay for sure i want to get some tint 20 in back 35 in front. i havent foudn somwhere with a decent price though.

 

thanks guys
