to tint or not to tint?
#33
Is it possible to get a 50% tint or is 35% the lightest? I'd like a bit of anonymity, but I don't want to make my view from inside any darker.
Are the reflecting films any good? I've only seen really gross ones on beater hondas, but I think a tiny bit of reflection might do the trick.

Oh yes, make sure to get a good quality film and have it installed by a reputable shop.

this is exactly what i wanted to avoid. 35% seems to be the right compromise.

I know I'm going to be in the minority here...
People with tinted windows have been a pet peeve of mine ever since college when I commuted by bicycle and motorcycle. Tinted windows make it nearly impossible to make eye contact with a driver or see where they are looking, so it's hard to tell if they're going to cut you off or worse, drive right into you.
Plus I think it looks trashy. *puts on flame suit*

My NSX has way too dark tint for my taste (20%? 15%? I have no idea what it is), so I agree with too much can be "overdone", but as with anything else it's a personal preference... lol, but it hasn't stopped me from driving it around... I guess mainly since I mostly drive it with the windows down and top off!
I'm extremely happy with my 35% on the S4. I would again recommend this amount for anyone who wants just the right amount and is worried about it being too dark.
Not sure about the whole bike vs eye contact, but that makes sense.... if you're riding a bike that is.

I think that looks really good. I wonder how hard it is to remove tint and re-apply it. I'd like to put my NSX where I want it.

I have 35% on the 2 side windows and 50% on the angled rear glass, which I think is pretty good. Your 20% or whatever side windows are crazy dark.
I don't think it would've been too bad to do the rear glass 35% as well, I was just afraid i was going to mess up my visibility.

as to reapply used didn't i wouldn't dream of it, it basically plastic ur paying for someone else to put it on. i do think about some times how it would look if i had done 35% and 20% in the back but thats for another car i went liter because of the silver

well here's 35% pinnacle film on my car. i like how turned out from the inside looking out, but outside looking in looks pretty light.
rear window straight through
