Default Tint?

If you have a nebula gray F sport with tint, can you posts picture here? A part of me doesn't want to put tint on simply to show off the cabernet interior, but I do think tint would look good with the gray.

Is your interest only looks? Living in Alabama you could benefit from heat rejection with a quality ceramic film. If you don't want a dark film, even a 50% ceramic can significantly improve comfort.

My interest is in both actually. So if I can find a good balance in between both I'm game. I'll look into the ceramic film, thanks!

I have a liquid plat with cabernet interior. It was tinted by the dealer before I got it. but its not a real heavy tint in the front windows. From a far you couldn't tell what color my interior is but if you came close to it you can tell what it is. My rear tint is darker and thats the way I like it. Spoogenet is correct living in the southern states, You almost need some sort of tint on a vehicle to be comfortable in my opinion also tint is also a good theft deterrent.

Good points. Not to mention tint will also help in the preservation of our seats. I just went to the tint shop and will be getting it done this Thursday, I will post pics.

I have FormulaOne Pinnacle film by LLumar and love it. Many people swear by 3M Crystalline or Huber Optik.

As an example, you can look at the charts on 3M's site to see the efficiency of energy rejection vs. visible light transmission.

Hi there,

Before Tints:




After Tints



Another shot




I think the tints rounded out the car. Made it look more aggressive. The pics make the tints look darker then they are in real life. They are 50%'s i think.

I would highly recommend getting ceramic tint. It makes a huge difference on protecting your interior. You'll notice it right away, especially if you get 3M. If you can afford 3M ceramic, get it on the windows and the windshield.

Im actually going with a brand called suntech or sun guard (cant remember). The guy that will be tinting my car said its the next step above 3M. Supposedly keeps out over 50 % of heat. They both were the same price, so we'll see how it turns out.

Hey that looks really nice. Trust me you will be really happy with the look. I would keep looking at mines once I had done it . Make sure to keep your windows closed .

Looks good. Which product line from Suntek did you use?

FYI you should clean your camera lens to get less glare.
