OMG , LOL sure would get attention

 

Shane, this guy has 35% on his red 07.

 

^Wayne, that doesn't look the same front and rear. The rear looks darker to me- more like 20%.

 

I have pictures of mine that look just like that cause you are looking towards the untinted front windshield through the front side windows and all the backs are dark.

You are right though the backs look a lot darker.

Besides here is the thread that went with that pic I posted:
" I had mine tinted with 35% Formula 1, which I also had on my '03 coupe. It is metalized, not ceramic, and cost me around $220. The manual says that metalized "might" interfere with the TPM system, but I have no idea if it really does. The owner of the business said that he wouldn't have used metalized if I had a Nav. unit. Again, I do not know if it would interfere, but it's something to consider."

 

Thought the same thing at first.....
But like Wayne says, it could just be the light from the windshield.
Too bad there wasn't a different angle.

 

looking at the pic more, it might look like that since on the front side you are also looking through at the lighter colored stone house and in the back side windows you are looking through another set of tinted windows plus the dark garage doors.

 

LMAO, I can only imagine the looks you would get from people!!

 

good points guys. Different angles, lighting etc. make a big difference. Even the car colour doesn't look true in that pic. In real life its not that dark and less candy red.

 

Thanks for the pic Wayne. I think 35% all around will be the way to go. The place that I got my 03 done is no longer there, so I will start calling around next week for quotes and brands used. I definitely want to get it done within the next two weeks or so.

 

Shane, the other thing you might want to check out is colour...
IDK if the '07 window colour has the same green cast as in the 1st gen.
But, that's one thing I wished I'd looked at a little more on my '04
When you combine 2 (OEM green & tint) colours you might be surprized at the net result.

 

Lighting and angle makes a ton of diff on the way tint looks. The best bet is to have them put a tiny piece on the inside of the window to make sure you like the lightness, shade, reflectivity, etc. Some guys hate how ceramic is more reflective, some guys like it. Some tins have a blue cast, some green, some grey, etc. I picked mine because it has a charcoal hue. I would have gone HU but it doesn't work with my back window (dot matrix) and the reflectively bugged me a bit. 3M Crystaline is a little blue-ish, might not be great with the G. I'd look around for a reputable solargard UP/HP or Pinnacle dealer. Mine seems to look different in every pic:

 

Kevin.... luv the M-tech lip... didn't know you had it on already

 

Thanks. I was worried it'd scrape on my garage ramp but I'm ok. Install took about 2 minutes heh. The terminology is so weird. Some people call it m-tech, some aero lip. The only other one is called "m-sport", and it's (imo), ugly. Here's a pic.

Now I just have to get that damned bottom mesh out to paint it. What a pain in the butt that is.

 

Looks nice Kevin. It almost looks like my car behind yours.

 

Your car looks fantastic Kevin, very nice.

In your third (rear view) pic you didn't blank out your plate.
