Another tint thread...

So I'm going to get my car tinted, and looking for opinions. The general consensus seems to be to go dark, however, I have AG, and dark tints seem to not suit the car. I was thinking 35 - 50% range would probably blend nicely (as I have the dark interior). A friend of mines has an M3 with 50% and it looks pretty good. Let me know what you think.

35% is the absolute lightestt I'd go because anything lighter seems like there's there.

If you want lighter tints go with 20% on the back and 35% on the front sides.

i'm not with the concensus. i don't think dark cars look good with dark tint. i think 35% will look nice on ag.

Flex, if you can, post up a pic. I'm interested in seeing how 70% would look on AG. Wasn't considering something that low, but if it looks good, hey.

This is 20% on the windows and 5% on the back, per suggestion of the window tint guy I used. Because of the light colored rear deck and the sun, the rear window appears lighter than it really is. So we had to use a darker shade to make it match the 20%

i think 35% is perfect if you want a light tint. Me personally i dont like people seeing me or anything in my car, so limo all the way around.

What tint is on the Red G?

He says 35% but it sure looks a lot darker. Plus there is tint on his windshield.

I got 18% charcoal shade tint all around on this G, but it came out way darker than I expected. I had the same exact tint on my old g35 coupe which had a wheat interior with 5% on the rear 3 windows , and you could see right thru it on sunny days. My g37's got a graphite interior, so the interior color has a lot to do with it.

I have AG with graphite interior with 35% tint. It could be darker but 35% is the legal limit in Ontario. I am happy.

Well yea but I have an LP so it all works out

I also have stone interior so Limo in the rear three and 25% on the front windows comes out lighter than it really is. My Dad on the other hand has 35% on the front windows and it looks just about the same as my 25%

35% standard tint or 15-30% ceramic tint (since it's lighter) would be my recommendation.

I got 30% (or 35%, I forget) F1 Pinnacle tint and I love it. I wish it was just a TAD darker but I'm very satisfied overall.
