With how you already have the white with black wheels I feel like it would add to the whole white with some black thing and look great. I kind of had the same thing going with my old one and plan on the same thing with my new one and I want mine tinted badly. Just need to do a lot of other stuff first and then find someone that's willing to do it illegal and that I know will do a good job.

Dark is great on sunny days, but be aware that dark is VERY difficult to see thru at night. Backing up with 20% was tough. I can't imagine any darker than that.

What you do is you grab a piece of vinyl and lay it on the outside of the window. Trace the line for the dot matrix and then cut. Go inside and apply the vinyl. Mine came out PERFECT.. Its the only way to cover up the dot matrix.

HP do you have pictures of your rear window?

As you can see in the picture the guy who tinted my windows didnt know what he was doing.

Ya know what my issue is? I got the car tinted and then I learned that dot matrix and tint don't go together very well... So I ended up putting the vinyl over the tint.

From the inside when i'm lookin through my rearview or turning my head to back up, the vinyl looks perfect -- almost like it should have been like that from the factory. But from the outside, the spacey areas in the tint on the dot matrix still show through bc I didn't know how to get the dot matrix tint off without wrecking my whole rear window tint. looking back, I probably should have used a razor, cut the tint, peeled off the dot matrix tint and re-done it, but it's too late now.

I can snap a photo one day if you want. It really looks great, more so from the outside, but if I would have vinyl'd the window first and then had it tinted, it would have been PERFECT I assure you.

But my car stays a little cooler in the summer and my tints looks slightly darker, especially the rear window, bc the vinyl let's no sun through! It's awesome...

Everybody should get tint up to the dot matrix and vinyl the rest...
