Default Ultrasonic Blue Mica IS-F with Huper Optik Ceramic Tint

Just wanted to show you some pics of my car with the Huper Optik ceramic tint. I did 60% for the front windshield, 50% for the (2) front windows, and 40% for the (3) rear windows. Now I have to wait 24 hrs before I can wash, and wait 2 weeks before all the imperfections go away...

Enjoy!

Looks great! Cutting it a little close on the parking concrete barrier?

Man I wish I had your weather. Spring needs to get here quick!

I got the tint not for the darkness but to protect the car from the heat and uv rays. The front windshield is basically like stock, very clear. My original thought was to put 60% all around the car because I wanted it clear and for tracking purposes, but I decided to get some thing a lil darker. The car at night looks really dark because of the black leather interior.

heh they already looked dark when it wasn't tinted, so I knew if it was tinted even slightly...the car would be dark!

So did you go to Song's? Your car looks great

Going any darker would raise the risk of unwanted attention from cops...not that the Ultrasonic Blue exterior won't raise any eyebrows

The strange thing about Huper Optik is that the darkness varies from different angles. And when it's an overcast day, your car will look pretty dark.
