hey guys, do any of you have pictures of your GS with a 35% tint on the REAR SIDE windows with a 50% tint on the FRONT side windows? i was curious to see what the contrast would be between 50% and 35% on the front vs. rear side windows.

obviously, i prefer the uniform look and would get all 35% around, but i just want to avoid getting tickets so i'm going more conservative on the front windows.

any thoughts on this combo with the white / starfire with black interior?

thanks and any help/feedback is appreciated.

you might have a hard time finding that. best bet is to just go to a tint shop and get a sample of each and take a look at it. 50% is really light. i just recently got mine tinted a week ago with 15% all around and couldnt be happier.

i have 35/5 if you want to see what a 35 will look like

Don't tint the rear and front side windows different shades. It looks really bad.

totally agreed, keep it uniform

i am running 23% dark all around, anything darker is not my taste, anything lighter.. is useless in 115F sun in AZ

35% isn't that dark.

and if you're scared of tix, just slide open the sunroof cover to let some light in when you see cops.

lol, thought i was the only one doing that when i was in CA

i slide open the sunroof cover every night since i had a ton of illegal mods on my old car to avoid getting pulled over on my 35% tint

now that I run a AZ plate, i could care less what the CA police has to say

FYI......Here are two examples of tint. the first picture shows my girlfriends 300 SRT-8 with 35% tint on the front windows and 20% in the back. My car has 50% all the way around. both cars have black interior as well. Notice the even look on my car with the same percentage tint? People disagree with me all the time, but i DO NOT like white cars with dark limo tint. Way too ghetto. (especially Luxury type cars) Clean and subtle is best for nice cars.

Oh! and if your car has black interior, the tint will look darker. ask any tint shop.

One thing to consider is that your 50% tint looks darker than most because you have your windshield tinted. If the windshield wasn't tinted, I think it would look significantly lighter. That 50% looks more like 40%. I'm getting mine tinted tomorrow and I'm leaning toward 40%...

Personally, I don't think really dark tint looks good on ANY car, no matter what the color.

just wondering if anyone in the CA area can tell me the name brands of the most popular tint films. Wondering b/c i brought up a gs 350 from CA and it has a bronze tint. The tint films in my area are a different variation and I would like to find the most common ones used.

i never heard of tints having 15% and 50%. i know they have limo, 20% and 35%.
i am driving limo all around and 35% on the front windshield with black interior

i personally have never heard of 50 either but they do make them in 5%, 15%, 25% and 35% as the most common around me

ahh, saying tints only come in a certain % is like saying tires only come in one size

my old car's tint was 32% and now 23%, I've seen 5,7,13,15,23,25,32,35,43,45...etc.

most people just refer to their selection as limo, dark, medium, light

depends on brands/types/material, the % can vary greatly

majority of the tint shop in ca either carries 3m or solargard

I'm running 35% front and since Solargard doesn't offer a 20% anymore, i'm down to 18% in the rear:

Hey! This is the cleanest 3GS I've ever seen! What is your mod list? Also do you have any other pics?
