Tint Options

I have an Electric Blue Evo 9. I'm wanting to get the windows tinted and need some options. I see black everywhere and wanted to do something original. My friends say it's a bad idea but, I wanted to know what you all think. Do you all think a Light or dark blue tint would look bad?

A drak black tint on the EB looks great....and you might be able to get away with a reflective tint.....not mirrored..but a light reflective.

Either do a standard black tint or dont bother...All of that colored, reflective, mirrored stuff looks cheesy.

get 5% all the way around for a really aggressive look. I have it and wouldn't have it any other way. You really get used to seeing through it at night (unless you have bad eyes). Don't do anything besides a dark black 5-20%. Your car will look sexy!! check out Most-Wanted's evo, EB with dark tint. SICKNESS

I think the 30% all around looks great. Any of the colored or reflective tints look cheap. Please use black.

I've got 5% on my eclipse...in the rain at night its very dangerous to drive with. Go with 15 or 30% or leave the car at home in the rainy darkness.

I think it would look a little cheesy with the electic blue to have blue tints too. Maby if you got them ultra ultra light blue it would look pretty boss

I think sliver looks kinda trashy, pls dont do that to your beautifull car =(

tinted tinted tinted tinted tinted tinted tinted, what an awesome word

You guys must have really bad eyes or something. Even 5% is not that hard to see through at night once you get used to it. The only difficult situation I could imagine is backing out on a very dark night or making a left or right hand turn on a very dark street and not seeing a pedestrian. Even still, just use caution.

I just recently tinted my GG Evo IX 20% all the way around. Its an excellent darkness and looks great on any color. I woulnd't go any darker considering the tint ****'s (police) here in SoCal.

If you don't tint your windows it will save you just under a pound, and as we all know, less weight = faster 1/4mile times.

I think that black or smoke 20-35% would look good on your car. Please for all that you hold dear, do not put some blue tint on your car.
