Black Car -- suggestions on tint?

All right... this might not be what you want to hear... but does anyone
else feel that tint accentuates the curviness of the rear window? Does
that make sense? I like tint. But not on 2g DSM's. If I had to tint, I'd
take a subtle 35% all around. But I say you should save yourself the
hassle from the cops and just go with no tint.
 
check out my album. i have a stock body 2g with tint. no clue what %, but i know that i dont have a prob backing up at night. all i know is it looks black from the outside, and at night with the stock chrome rims it looks fuking sweet rolling slow through a parking lot with all the lights reflecting off the wheels and black looking windows. id qualify it as orgasmic ;)
 
hey source is dat taillight covers?...i did da exact same thing but i have all circles....and it was "homemade" so didnt cost much....and u should also black out da center piece....#@%#@%#@%#@% will look sweet
 
They were covers. I changes the look of my car alot though

I am going to paint the center piece black but I think I am going to keep the eclipse lettering.
 
I like straight black on black cars as well. I wished I would've went 20% all around, but instead opted for 35% front and 20% rest. Just to keep the local cops happy. But I've always been a fan of the black tint for black cars.
 
i know it's not an eclipse but its 5% on the back three and an 8inch 5% drop on the front

Did u mean 35% on the entire front windshield?
 
I'm thinking about tinting the entire windshield. OMG ......:shhh: . With 20% percent of sides, back and perhaps 40% on windshield. Mainly beacause dont like the black line on top of windshield. I think it breaks up the goodness of black cars with tint. U guys think I'll get pulled over frequently.:cool:
 
i saw this guy with red tint on a 3000gt.. it was pretty hit.. it kinda looked cool but.. i wouldnt sugguest it to anyone else. i'm a fan of mirror tint =]
