New window tint...

kioko12 · 04-21-2010, 06:35 PM

I miss having tinted windows, but not sure if I can pull it off in a convertible. Anyone have their ride tinted? I suppose, as long as you don't drive top-down with the windows up, it should look ok, no?

Good question. I'm planning on getting mine tinted when my car gets here. It should help a bit w/ keeping the inside cool during the rather hot summers we have here. I hadn't really thought about looks w/ top down/windows up, but I don't really see why it would be a problem.

I had my Z4 Tinted and it looked the biz.

Just don't go too dark and it'll be just fine.

35 for the sides, 20 for the backs:

It makes the depth difference between the side and back windows more pronounced. Other than that I'm happier with tints

tint windows regardless of coupe/sedan/vert

Agreed. I'll always tint all my cars, especially living in CA. Protects the interior from sun damage/fade, keeps temps down when parked outside in the summer and gives you a little more privacy inside.

Ok, it's settled. Now I just need to find a reputable Tint place. Can anyone recommend one in the DC/NOVA area?
