Default What kind of tint did you go with for your apline?

Hey boys,

Just picked up a starfire on ecru (pretty much white interior, like alpine).

I want to show-off the interior, so im hesitant to go with a typical black tint. perhaps a bluish tint or light ceramic would make it pop.

As the title says, what kind of tint did you go with? Or any suggestions?

Blue? No thanks. Just stay with a 35% tint and keep it clean.

having seen some BMW and MB in a light blue tint, it's not bad, especially with a light interior. the only downside is lack of privacy. but blue isn't bad.

my opinion keep it classy with "standard" tint 30-35%.

I would definitely say keep it standard and don't apply any colored or mirror tint. If you go light enough, say 40%-35%-30%, you should still be able to see inside while having the slight privacy aspect tint provides.

100% agree, classy is the key, go standard, It's an ISF, not a Civic nor a pick-up truck with a spoiler on the bed sporting those tiny but wide tires....
