The pics in my sig below have 35% all around,that should give you an idea what it would look like. I had to remove the tint from the front windows when i moved to RI. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

Do 20% tint for the front and back windows. | | | | | 10-08-2005, 10:03 AM | #4 | | Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Newcastle, England Posts: 71 |
why dont you graduate it? black rear screen, next one up on the rear windows and 35% or 20% on the front.
Remember that light reflects inside the car too so if you have a totally blacked out window i.e. the rear - it will give the appearence of the lighter ones being slightly darker even though they still letting the same amount of light through!
depends on the colour of your car though - what will look good. | | | | | 10-08-2005, 03:10 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Walnut Creek, CA Posts: 642 |
Both my ti's have a graduatd tint. Tint percents indicate how much light passes thru. Personally, I don't like it too dark. My fronts are 50% and the rear and hatch are 35%. I think it's perfect, and I never had problems with the cops. Look at my gallery. My white ti is going on 10 years with no problems. __________________

I like tylers tint - 35% all round! iv just booked mine in for 5 november to get a tint. Not sure what to get either now. Think ill graduate it from back to front so it dosent look like it just ends - not sure will go well with a racing green Ti though | | | | | 11-05-2005, 06:05 PM | #7 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 37 | 35%
i did 35% all around and i love it it looks great on my black ti and the black interior makes it look even darker. I have not had any problems with the cops either  __________________

I have 30% all the way around. I want to eventually get 20% for the rear and 50% for the windshield. It's just a matter of time before I get those 2 things done. But tint is mos def underrated. Not only does it help keep you from burning during the day and keeping your car cooler, it helps with headlights at night; whether its from the rear view and side mirrors or the lights from cars coming through rear window. __________________
