Title: tinted window opinions..be nice!
Post by: mrgreen on 26 February 2011, 21:58:44
so i'm thinking about tinting the rear windows on the "caravan" i don't want a dark tint so it's like a cinema in the back i would like something suttle and classy (if that can be said in the tinting world!)  anyone have any ideas/links to what i should look for it's on a black estate which i also want to put black alloys on with a silver/chrome rim so what do you think would look good i don't want gangster but a little goes a long way in my opinion!

Black tints get a big yes, black wheels a big no.

My old Black TD Estate had tints on rear doors backwards, slight tint on rear doors and slightly darker on the back, didn't look to bad tbh, not sure about the Black wheels thou, you need some silver to break up the colour theme in my mind.

they look good, so i've re thought it and i think you are right the black needs a bit of breaking up with silver wheels, anyone know what grade tint to go for without getting too dark and what the percentage is as standard?

Love tints personally. Although fully appreciate they are not practical in all situations.
