Since everyones' tinting their windows....

Post by ArcsVibe »

I decided to "finish" mine. Last year I decided to only tint the back windows while leaving the front ones untouched. This year, decided to do them all. The back windows are 20% and the front are 50%. Tell me what you guys and gals think!Personally I really love this look, and wait till I lower the car

Looks tight! I'm sure it looks better to you to! I don't mind seeing cars with the rear tinted and the fronts not, but it sure looks a heck of a lot better with them all tinted.

It looks good. I'm not a big fan of really dark tint. If I were to tint mine, I would probabaly go 50% all around.

lol. well you need to keep the glare out of the new baby's eyes! that sun could be quite damaging to developing eyes! lol...now, if you could only convince the mrs to let you DROP the car.... tighter suspension, better springs would allow for much better handling in case anything got in your way and you had to swirve or turn suddenly.

I just had my glass done too. I got 20% in the back and 30% in the front. I also had a a 6 in limo tint sunstrip put on the windshield. It is amazing. The tint job keeps out so much sun, especially with the sun strip, that I almost don't even need shades when I drive into the sun.One thing I notice is that the strip hold the reflections of both the dash and stereo a little more than if it was absent.It is a small price to pay at night for the glare relief you experience during the day. If you have the means, I would really recommend putting one on. It is so choice.

I have always thought that a car looks better with all four windows tinted even if it is illegal. I like!

I just did the sunstrip on my windshield this weekend. The dot matrix around the mirror and on the passenger side were a pain. I love how it looks now though.
