I guess I'll just mess around with it and try to figure it out. I can lower, but this is a little harder.

IMO, full blackout wheels should not be attempted unless you're going to add other black/cf accessories to complete the theme.

such as a lip, emblems in blk chrome, exh. tips, maybe??

i agree they seem out of place here (wonder if they were painted silver though)

They would look clean in silver or brushed on his car as-is. To complete the black-out theme, I think he'd need a painted black roof, grille, rear diffuser, badges cf front lip, cf rear spoiler, and black out all chrome trim (windows/impact strips). Now that would be dope.

agreed...

i think silver (non chrome) would be the best/easiest..

until then, i can always mock it up some...

idk if you guys can do this, but anything will be greatfully aprreciated!

Can someone show me how my car would look with 35% tints on the back windows, and 50% tints on the fronts? Normal, regular black tints please.



Thanks in advance.

I would do 35% all around. I have 20% and sometimes I wish it was darker.

That's funny cause mine are 35% all the way around and wish mine were slightly lighter. And I have medium all the way around. I remember when I first went to have it done, I was gonna do thee ol look of yester year ... Dark in the back and light in the front.... WHOA... what the hell was I thinking???!!!

Went to Whittier Tint Shop in Whittier and the girl said, you should do a medium all the way around cause it looks classy on this car. I'm glad I did. Greystone I believe it's called.

In my personal opinion, it just looks kinda classy. That's just my two cents

Now this post doesnt make any sense lol. the darker you want a tint, the less % the tint.

i.e: 35% is lighter than 20%

I have 15% all around and my only complaint is that it gets really hard to see in the dark when there is no street light around and no moon

I would do 35% all around, but in New Hampshire you cannot touch the fronts, and knowing my luck and the cops in my town, I will get pulled over driving back from the tint shop. Thanks for the prompt response.

jw, do you guys think having 35%'s on just the back is going to look good?

lol.. I know how the tint thing works, I should of been a bit more clear.

I was telling the OP to get 35% all around since having two shades of tint looks silly.

Then I said that I have 20% and sometimes wish I had gone darker.
