yeah i just got it! thanks i went out of my way and ordered it specially without the front brushguard...the interior is sand it was the best option when i was ordering but it does get dirty quickly, the exterior is calcite white but in real life it looks like offwhite kindov and i tinted the whole car as u can see in these 2 pics let me know what u think because im thinking of removing the tint because i cant see that clear at night but i think it looks better with it...

Congrats, I like the color, inside and out.
I would personally have it all tinted in a lighter shade for safety purposes mainly, that's how I did mine. I also think it looks better and would stand out since a lot of G drivers (at least over here) seem to do a full black tint. I thought about tinting my G darker in the second row and cargo area for more privacy but I think it would look bad. where did you have the tint done? I know ziebart in Bahrain has really good films, you should check them out if you are located there.
BTW, I remember getting a ticket in Bahrain for a fully tinted car (a friend's car not mine), did they change the law?
Have fun and enjoy your new G

halla halla mashkoor teslam
yes if u tint it from the back only it looks bad...the problem is with most tinting places the pitch black film is about 2 inches short of the G's Window except for a few places so the film that was ok for the window was the 50% black 50% reflective which looks different in the day and different at night so i decided to go with it and i was lucky that it came out to look very good better than the pitch black by far(i will take better pics)...haha yes ziebart is very famous! but the problem with places like ziebart is that they dont have choice for the darker illegal tinting so when u ask them they have only 1 color which is like black with golden which doesent look that good they specialize in the .01 the light film because like you said if u put a dark tint they will stop u straight away,ziebart's cleaning is the best we take all the cars there for interior/exterior cleaning once a year they put protection on the body and seats which is renewed every year its very good i really recommend it..anyway i put the film in a place called driver its very good also but the film is not cut by machine its by hand so its not perfect but it looks alot better they have good films and they are the only ones who have matte here.and as far as the law goes black matte is illegal and so as any film which is not see through but they will make exceptions sometimes it depends......

There are several brands of tint film I've tried before that have good selection of wide enough film to cover the G (from the darkest to almost clear). I've tried V-Kool and Llumar and they have a good selection. The only problem with V-Kool high end films is that they are metallic based and tend to block the signal for GPS units and might affect mobile phone service.
I have a different brand on the G by a British company but I forgot what it's called. It's ceramic based so doesn't affect GPS or mobile reception. I use a GPS receiver for traffic camera warning so that was important to me. I've heard good things about Huper Optik films but I don't have personal experience with them.
If you can't find what you are looking for locally, you could always get the film you want from abroad and have it installed locally. I think V-Kool is available in Bahrain but I don't know if any of the other brands I mentioned are available there. They are in Kuwait in case you plan on visiting us
I'm sure you can find them in Dubai as well, it's probably the tint capital of the world.
