what % tint do you have?
#16
I have no tints. This is my second car I haven't done tints to.
Am I the only one who thinks the car looks cleaner, newer with no tints?
No being a huge fan of police I don't like to give them any reasons to pull me over, so I dont mind not having tints. But if I did have them, I think 35% is a perfect.

I'm not a tint expert and maybe this question and/or topic has been hashed out, but any of you guys know much about titanium tint? And does tint quality really do much to shield heat? Thanks.

Quality is huge, it does make a difference with heat shield & to me more importantly does NOT turn nasty purple after getting beat by the sun. Cheap tint sucks! 3m, Lumar, Solamatrix, ClearMax, few others too I can not recall at the moment but those are a few of the quality tint producers IMO

Yes, tint quality matters. I prefer the ceramic based tint. Doesn't interfere with your electronics and kept the car cooler than the metal based tint, I used to use. I'm currently using a carbon based tint, and I don't like it as much as the ceramic.

Cool I'm gonna go with 35% percent I think, I had to reschedule for Friday so I have a few more days to think about it, and I'm with BGG I hate when people can just see me in plain view I like my privacy and it helps with heat and shade which I need with a baby in the car..

So I just got a call from my tint guy sayin he couldn't do it cuz there was a wax like film on the window and he had trouble getting the door panels off. Ever heard of something like this I called another shop that had a gs430 on display so I know they can it just kinda weird that he turned it down after tryin for 3 hours..
