The safer bet is to go with black. What % do you have on your GT? And about how much did it cost you and what all was tinted?

 

i dont read your posts. damm type is to small.

 

I went with 5% all around and a window strip. Ran about $100. I wouldn't recommend that dark for a daily driver, unless you drive with your windows down. Its DARK. 20% is what I do in my other cars and its not too dark yet is quite noticable. Of course, different states have different laws but here in Florida tint is commonplace.

 

5%, wow that is dark. I live in Indiana and i think the legal limit is 30-35. If you got yours for $100 that is really good because up here it is anywhere from $150 up...that is at least where i live. (Out in the middle of nowhere). I was thinking about 20%....i want it just dark enough for people not to see in but yet i can still see out okay. How did you go about tinting the front. I know it is illegal to tint the windsheild but some places up here tint a strip across the top. I personally didn't think it looked all that great because it didn't fade or anything.

 

I think you would be happy with 20%. Just double check with the shop and make sure they are actually using 20%. Sometimes what they call 20% is 22% in the back, and 36% on the front windows. Chances are you may have to pay cash and their will be no warranty if its below the legal limit.

The strip doesn't look bad, it blends in well with the rest of the car and the blackish border around the perimeter of the windshield. This is the only pic I have uploaded that kinda shows the front to give you an idea:



Now if you went all mirror on your car it may not look bad b/c your color is close to grey/silver and I think that would be the only color I would do that with. Check cardomain.com for some cars of your color and what people did with their tint to see what you like the best. Before I do anything to my cars I always try to compare it to others to get a visual.

 

just to let u all know using ur defrost is completly safe (it's common sense) ur defrost will only get to about 75degrees F ur windows in the summer heat will get to over 200degrees F

 

Thanks a lot for all of your help DJPcustoms!!

 

Your welcome

 

Yup, just follow the directions with the exception of lowering the windows. You obviously need to be a little more careful to not hit the inside on the window with anything, but I had no problems.

 

Been meaning to ask... What is moleskin? lol
