one of gods prototypes

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

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

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"

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. ![]() |

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.

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.

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. Mike |

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

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).
