Another tint % question (ivory pearl coupe)
Another tint % question (ivory pearl coupe)
Well I just got an '06 ivory pearl coupe that I want to put some tints on.
I'm here in NY where the legal limit is 70% for front and back sides, and any % for rear window.
I already searched on the forums and I can't really find any Ivory Pearl coupes with tints.
Specifically I am thinking 35% all the way around, or 50% front side, 35% back sides, and rear either 35% or 20%...but how bad would it look when it doesn't "flow" with the same % all the way around?
To make it short, could somebody please post some ivory pearl pics with their windows tinted?

Sorry maybe I should of said: I'm not considering limo AT ALL. It's way too hard to see at night and I'd rather not have to live with knowing I killed somebody at night time because of my window tints, plus I'd get pulled over instantly in NY.
The darkest I'm considering is 35%, and maybe only 50% even. Pics please

Sorry, I dont have pics but I also have an IP coupe and I have 35% all around. Looks a lot nicer than without a tint. IMO, I think 50% is not dark enough. Yeh, I can see at night but I think I should've gotten like 20% or darker for the back.
Here is mine, its 35% all around. Honestly, i was stuck between 35% and 50% and im REALLY glad that i went with 35%. With 50% it wont even look tinted, trust me, 50% is a waste of money.
In the pics it actually looks darker than it really is (it looks like 20%), in person you can see inside the car. As you can see on the 3rd pic, you can see though both passanger windows.
Dont do darker in back and lighter in front, it will look like crap. Stick to one % all around for a clean look.

hey, i also live in NY and have an '06 IP coupe.. i have my windows tinted at 35% front and 20% rear.. if u like, we can meet up one day nd u can see if my tints are dark enough
Here is my coupe with I believe 15-20% tint all around. Not exactly sure since it was on when I bought the car but it is definitely darker than I would like plus I have been pulled over once already for the tint.


While I would agree that most cars don't look right with different tint on the rear and sides, the G doesn't seem so bad.
I went with the legal limit on the sides and one step darker on the rear glass (so rear passengers wouldn't cook). With the rear 1/4 windows being so small, and with the backseat area darker, they look slightly darker than the doors. Overall, it's a very nice transition and you'd be hard-pressed to tell that the tint is different from side windows to rear glass.
I think the IP might lend itself to this a little more, as the legal limit on the doors looks darker than it normally would.
