Can we get an official tint thread going like the 2IS people?

Stolen from DaveGS4:

Please list:
- % tint
- color of your interior (does make a big difference in how dark tint appears)
- type of tint if you know it (smoke, dyed, metalized, etc)
- brand of tint if you know it (3M, Solarguard, Lumaster, etc)

 

I'd love love to see some tint on a black GS430 with mirror effect.

 

I have limo on all aroubd and 35% full windshield tint and it's legal for those who are going to bash me with safety crap

 

^ lucky you... I got pulled over for a 30% tint. He just wrote me a fix it ticket for the tint.

 

pictures please!

 

Still not safe at night.

 

I have 35% tint, which is the maximum where I live. I chose a ceramic film because it is supposedly more durable and less likely to cause signal interference issues that metallic films can.

That said, I'm looking forward to the widespread availability of photochromic and electrochromic windows in cars (aka smart glass, eglass, switchable glass, etc.), which change tint based on light conditions and driver selection. That will truly be the best of both worlds.

Maybe on the 5GS.

 

and our window already have like 90% + 35% = illegal.

 

I see perfectly fine at night... i probably got used to having limo and 35 windshield on all my cars

 

Nobody sees fine at night. That's why there is statistically a higher percentage of accidents at night than during the day. Less light is always a bad thing at night.

It will be great when electrochromic windows are available as CAK500 says.

There are photochromic tints which change from 45 to 65 but they look a bit greenish.

 

too much light is also a bad thing at night.

 

LOL, you're a clown! LOL

Should of done limo in the front too

 

- 40%
- black interior
- nano
- 3M Crystalline

From standing height, it looks pretty dark due to the black interior and looking "down" into it. At window height, especially looking through just one window with tint, it's plenty light. I haven't noticed any problems at all driving it at night since getting it tinted. Heat cut is significant. When left outside for an hour or so, it's hot but bearable inside. Before the tint, I used to make sure to roll the windows down with the fob and even then, the steering wheel was too hot to touch. Planning on having the front windshield done in 70 once they have it in stock.

 

-30% all around (door windows, rear windshield)
-black interior
-unsure (I've seen some people call it "cermet"...)
-Llumar ATX

 

yeah tints here in ny has become a quick way for the cops to pull you over and just mess with you so ive just opted to stick with the fishbowl look myself lol
