i wouldn't go darker than 20%, gets difficult to see at night.
35% is the hot look i think with coupes, it's dark but not totally black.
stay away from the reflective.......it'll look to ricey imo

RANDY P 07-31-2004 11:33 AM

Keep it at 35%. Too dark or chrome is definitely ghetto / rice..

leave it like that.

Thanks DavidI, I still cannot decide, I do like the look of the dark windows, but I don't think the mirror look is too bad w/the white car.

Do you guys think it really looks too"rice"

Bob's Flat-Six 07-31-2004 12:04 PM

I think it looks pretty hot without tint.
I've debated tint also, but have never gone thru with it. If I did it would be the lightest shade. :)

What w/out tint? I need the tint here in Louisiana to help battle the heat.

I have the rear side windows and rear window as well, I had it done in 80 percent smoke which looks great. I say go with the dark tint.

GettinHeadStuds 07-31-2004 12:24 PM

No tint.

Just had mine done a couple of weeks ago. I used the darkest legal that you can use on the front side windows on both front and back, with the max legal on the rear glass. The film that I had installed (Llumar) has a 95% UV blockage no matter what level darkness of tint that you get. Turned out pretty nice. I mainly did it to keep the sun off the interior as my car is parked outside while I'm at work. It helps the A/C not have to work so hard. I have poor night vision, and from inside the car, you can hardly notice the tint. I'm pretty happy I did it. I can post some pics a little later if you want.

Mirror tint = ghettofab

Every time someone gets out of a car with that kinda tint, my first instinct is to kick 'em in the jimmy and run like hell.

Go for dark tint. Like many others said: mirror/silver tint = RICE. black is where it's at.

KCPSG 07-31-2004 05:25 PM

Thanks guys I think you have helped me make my choice for me, I am going to go w/the dark glass over the mirror finish.


Thanks again, and thanks for the reply's

:D

Az911 07-31-2004 05:48 PM

Phil go with 5% black tint. The dark tint will look great on your white car.

Mine is very lightly tinted on the doors, then one shade darker in the rear windows. It barely looks tinted (and that is the way I wanted it).

Shuie 07-31-2004 06:11 PM

It gets brutally hot down here, but you already knew that :). Go with whatever reflects the most heat and will still pass the 35% state inspection.
