hey guys what you guys about getting my lime rock windows tinted or not and save my limited edition sticker by the back windows. and it looks amazing with tints

///3dkn · 01-05-2015, 10:06 PM

IMO I'd maybe do a light tint but I've never had tint installed so I don't know what percentages to look for.

Nice ride!

That would make it look worse with black wheels but then again that's just me.

I have always gotten 30% all around, on all my cars. I think its the perfect balance of darkness, not getting hassled by the cops or looking 'thug/ghetto'.

In regards to the LE sticker, just tell the install guy to leave it on the window and the tint will just go over the backside of it or around it. You would still be able to see it from the outside.

+1, definitely just you. A mild tint looks great on just about anything IMO. I agree with the 30-35% recommendation, depending on what your shop offers.

Bud,

Your M3 looks great ! Me jelly it's a Lime Rock edition

...love the orange color.

btw - who was your photographer ? I would love to capture and image like that, or hire someone here in PNW to do the same thing, along with a full set of pics.

Cheers,
Merlin

The only thing I like about tint is that it keeps the interior cooler. Otherwise I dislike the diminished visibility and I especially dislike the flattening affect it has visually. i.e. I think tint makes the car look ugly.

Oooh great shot!

I'd leave them un-tinted as well.

BLACK OPS · 01-06-2015, 11:50 PM

Very nice indeed! Normally I would say 30% however I think 60-70% would be tasteful
