Looks like mine minus the front chin spoiler.



Hope to get my tints done over the next week or so.... 35% all-around, maybe lighter.

They told me the premium brand name over the phone, but unfortunately i dont remember what it was. They warrenteed the film to not bubble or scratch for the life of the car. They did an excellent job. I'll post the pics soon.

yep beatiful ride. i like the chin spoiler. I'll try to get the pics up tomorrow since your car will look very similar to mine with 35% tint. i think the 35% looks fantastic. I dont think i would want more or less on this car given the moonlight white paint. also under 35% in chicago is illegal

35% looks really nice on a white G. trust me, i have one

anyway be careful in the city of chicago because ANY tint on the front windows will land you a $250 ticket whether you are street parked, in a private parking lot, or even driving. this even though the new tint law passed last october. thats why i dont drive my car into chicago.

Looks great! This post has reminded me to get off my lazy butt and head up the tint shop to get 35% 3M all around. Had the same tint on my Altima and loved it.

looks great. i've noticed a lot of G owners go with 35%.

the 35 looks darker on yours than i expected. can't wait to get mine done next week.

Looks Sharp! Is this the traditional dyed film (non-metallic, non-ceramic) tint? I too have a Moonlight White Sedan and have been debating between ceramic and traditional color dyed tint. Thanks for sharing and putting up the pics.

35% thats light

step up to 20%, then it will look much better.

ya that 35% looks nice.. I personally like mine to be 5% wrapped all around.. Ive had 5% limo tint on every car ive ever owned since i was 17 ... I live in miami now though so DARK TINT is a must have.. EVEN MOST COP CARS HAVE 20% or darker.. Haha sometimes at night, i have to roll the windows down to back outta my driveway tho cause i cant see ****.. I like the limo tint tho .. its nice... First of all, its keeps your car alot cooler, prevents drying and cracking of your leathers seats and dash. Second, you have a little more privacy. So if i wanna smoke a joint on my way into work, no problem. Or maybe i wanna **** my girlfriend in the backseat in the middle of the day. I HAVE THE OPTION.. haha .. attached are a few pics, tell me what ya think bro... I really like the tint on the WHITE car.. makes it pop

The tint is Madico's Charcool. I guess its a hybrid between metallic and dyed?

Rigg's Bro's in Chicago's western suburbs did a good job on this and i would recommend them to others in the area.

yea love the 5%. Nice ride! does that attract the cops? lowest we can go legally in IL is 35%. Like GxS posted, i might even get ticketed for having the 35% on the sides in the city.
