What do you think about colored tint?
I'm getting ready to tint my pro5's windows this weekend and have mixed feelings about the colored tint from Gila. What do you guys think? Regular black tint or color???

preference
its really a matter of preference
there will always be some people who will bag you out for it and others that will love it...
black tint is the safest bet if your worried about pulic opinion

I saw a yellow P5 with yellow,faded to black tint.. it was BEAUTIFUL. Certain angles you could see the yellow tint and other angles it looks like regular black tint with a hint of yellow.

i just went throught the same thing!! I look at 10 different shades of colored tints...in the end I went for limo black( 5%). It is soooo sweet. Color is different for now but remember its there forever.
The ones I was considering was the gradient tinting from silver to red but it looked more pink so I decided against.
Then they had a black to a red which was great for the rear window but did not mesh well with the sides.
...... Limo the back 7 and 40-45% the front sides

It's phat on show cars, and gives your whole interior a color of its own. The WW Protege even has the windshield done, and their RSX must be like sitting underwater with all that blue!
I wouldn't do it on a street car, but on a show car I'm sure it's worth major points. I like it.

I have the 50% tint, all I get are compliments
I was about to put the silver tint, but it was illegal and I didn't want anytrouble with the law, because it would have stood out.
If i had to do it all over again, I would go with black again.
Just remember, get what is legal in your state. it is not work putting all the $$ in tint, have a judge then order you to remove it. Seen it happen

As Ive said in previous threads, I personnaly (being a show guy) dont like tints AT ALL unless:
a)They are coloured. Body-matched coloured tint looks very bad-***. Also, some complimentary tints look good too (ie. A white car that has blue accenting looks sweet with blue tint)
b)Has something fancy done in the tint. IE, dark tribal graphics cut in tint laid over top of lighter tint!

I was told at the tint shop I should go with a metallic tint, since the black tint fades over time. I saw a car there that had the metallic tint, and i dont think it would look good on my VY P5. Anyone have any thought on this?

good in some circumstances
depends once agin... i would support black metallic... so its like a tinted mirror but i dont like colour that much... also metallic tint only looks good in some cirumstances... i know my black P5 wouldnt look god with metallic cause the black makes it looks 'bling but tint would make it look out of place...
one of those things that you take the plunge on... may look sick may ruine the car... make or break...
but if you have read around this forum you will find that alot of people have more to say than their 2c with pressured opinions... in the end its YOUR car, and only YOU know what looks good... cause your looking at it more than anyone else... so go with what looks good to YOU... =)
