tint on sedan

Hi everyone.

I'm planning to have the rear windows and windshield tinted on my '02 silver Pro Sedan. Does anyone have pictures of a sedan with just the rear tinted? I want to have an idea of how it'll look like. Planning on 35% tint.

Thanks

The law here doesn't allow any tint at all in the front, and I don't want to risk it. I know tinting the whole car 35% looks really sweet, but think i'll just stick with what the law says.

I might as well ask for people's opinions here, should the rear windows be tinted, or not at all and leave the whole car uniform with clear windows? What looks better?

Leave the car uniform. I think it will look unbalanced and incompltete.

OH....I understand.....ahhhh that really sucks.....as the cars look so sweet with tint all the way around......hmmmmmm that would be a hard decision.....but I agree.....I think it would look better uniform.......but its really up to you. of course it wouldn't look any different than having all the windows tinted, and driving around with the front windows down......

I've got the same problem here ... the law doesn't allow any tint in the front. So I only teinted the rears ones ... I think it actually look good ! Here is a pic :

Hey Wingman21,

thanks for the pic, you're right, it does look pretty nice. What %tint did you get for the rear?

Personally, I don't like the "unbalanced" look either. So even though it's illegal in NY, I tinted my car 20% all around.

For me, it was an all-or-nothing affair. On SUV's it looks *aight* (kinda) to have the rear tinted and the front not, but IMHO, sedans and cars in general look kinda silly with just the rear tinted.

I have yet to be hassled for my highly-illegal tint job (about 6 months so far). I figure if the ticket is not too expensive, paying one a year or so (if it happens) is worth it. Me loves me tint!

35% for the rear ... It's not that much, but if you tint the rear too much, you'll have an umbalanced car

Heheheee...I guess I broke the balance...

I went for the maximum that I could for the rear and front. But I really do not care if my car looks imbalance...I rather have the maximum that I can get to get less glare.

hihoslva,

best of luck to you with your illegal tint.


Wingman21,

do you have a bigger version of the pic in your signature? I like to see how the tint looks from the side, thanks.
