Show me your tints

Post by WillRS » Thu Apr 11, 2013 5:34 pm

I said TINTS !

could some Phantom Black owners show me (if they have them) their tints please - Saloon or Avant - don't mind really

car is in for some work at Valet Magic next week and one thing on the list is tints. currently has none (or very little) and I'd quite like to see what other people have and how it looks on the same colour car

cheers in advance

Mike - thank you - looks good - I like that. are the rear triangular windows pretty much black or is that an optical illusion ?

also I can't quite see if the rear screen is the same level of tint as those triangular windows OR if its the same as the rear windows ? could you clarify - I am trying to get an OEM tint look really so want to get it right

Noyjatat - also looks good but same request - have you got a side shot and a rear shot (or can you just tell me what i've asked Mike)

I'm assuming the rear screen is the same as the triangular windows ?

cheers again in advance

Will, the rears doors, raer screen and read quarter lights are all the same tint. It just looks darker cos of the way the light has hit it.

Would help if people could include the type of tint they went with (brands I. E. HuperOptik, 3m etc) and the percentage rating. The percentage refers to the percent of light allowed to pass I believe. So 50% is a modest level of tint, 30% is pretty dark and 5% is the full chav
