Show me your TINT pictures!

Based on the thread soliciting tint pricing, I'd like to see some of the tint jobs you are getting to help me decide what to go with. I'd especially like to see some of the metallic or 20% black.

Thanks,
Cris

i bet the darkest black you can get, legally of course, looks good on the black evo. i've been debating this as well myself, but the decision is tough because mine is blue. i hope we get some good pics.

Silver Evo... 20% black tint all the way around (if you count the brow)... problem is that my digital camera took a ****... and I can't justify $300 for a camera when Samco intercooler hoses are $260... may be I can get a friend to take a few shots.

The reason it metered 35% is because the stock windows have a very light tint in themselves... this is true for almost all cars. Its for glare/UV reduction.

I have limo tint all the way around. Looks I always roll my front windows down when a cop is around just for safe measure, it has never been a big deal. Cops are reluctant to pull you over just for your tint even here in San Diego. Plus the added security, when people can't see into your car is priceless

I've never had my windows tinted on any car I've owned. Due to the theft rate and vandel stories I didn't tint the windows on my ITR. I've only had my Cobra since Jan. and trading it in this weekend for a rally red Evo so I won't be tinting them either.

Having limo tint is cool when your getting road head, but when a thief can't see in your window they can always find a way around it by busting it out or what not. Now that I have a garage to keep my car in, I might tint the windows 35% or maybe 20% since it won't be out in the sun and the tint won't turn purple on me.

I take that back, having said that, I had tinted windows on my first car and were tinted twice due to the tint turning purple over the 5 years I owned it, but it never had any garage time either.

One question..
I've a yellow OZ and I wanna get it tinted.
But just for UV protection, not for look, I dun like black looking windows...
I was thinking 35% all around, does anyone has theirs tinted less than that?(>35%).
Please post the pix.

Depending on the tint manufacturer, all should protect about the same against the sunlight no matter what the darkness is.

Protecting the interior from the lights is a big reason I want to have the windows tinted. Thinking about a grey tint instead of black.
