Need Suggestion on Tinting a Deser Platinum Coupe!

What percent do you guys suggest. I don't want it too dark. I'd prefer something light.

well you have willow, so it will look lighter than what it actually is, perhaps a 20% or 35% if you dont wanna risk getting pulled over

Re: Need Suggestion on Tinting a Deser Platinum Coupe!

You can look at my photos in the rides section, I think on page 3 of the coupes. I have 50% in front and 30% on rear windows. G35 coupe windows also already have a slight tint inherently.

18% all around. I am willing to risk a ticket. Looks much cleaner this way!

Try that URL.
There are photos of mine with 50% front and 30% rear sides and rear using lumar metallic tint. I had to put the sat antenna outside because of the metallic tint.

Ggirl,

I went with a medium tint (? %) on the side and rear windows and the darkest tint possible on the sunroof.

I'm sure you realize the Willow interior makes the tint seem lighter. I was surprised by how much.

Re: Need Suggestion on Tinting a Deser Platinum Coupe!

I went with a metallic tint 19%. It's wierd ... the darker you go, the more you can see in side, less reflection. I don't have a pic, but IMO the reflectiveness is a nice touch to the shimmer of the DP color. The bad thing ... my reception went down, but I only listen to CDs anyway ... you should check it out at your local tint shop.

Re: Need Suggestion on Tinting a Deser Platinum Coupe!

yea- be careful with metallic [titanium] tinting. Know that your radio reception will get worse. One FM station of mine no longer even comes in. I'm not sure if its the same way with dyed tint. I have 20% titanium all the way round, but with the graphite int., it looks darker than it would with the willow int. Guess I'm gonna have to start listening to more cds too (trying to find a mod to play DVD-MP3 discs :.}) Good luck.
