Post pictures of your tinted TL
I was wondering if TL owners would be interested in posting pictures of their tinted car and specify what percentage and type of tint they used and why,it might be helpful to other owners considering whether to have their car done or not,i will start by posting mine,i used Formula 1 Pinnacle 30 ceramic tint because it is not a dyed film so it is guaranteed not to fade,it has superior heat reduction,amazing clarity at night and does not interfere with the electronics,i am sure that there are other tints just as good or even better so lets hear from others

It is a very unique tint that changes characteristics based on lighting, and the angle of which you are looking at the car. IMO it suits the TL very well.

Not really sure, the dealer tinted mine for free....but I asked for the darkest. For Texas that would be 25%

Few months ago I posted in one of your threads something along the lines of, I don't like Mayan bronze because Mercedes uses a similar dark red wine color and you'll usually see a senior citizen driving a car with that color.
But after looking at it more and more I realize how awesome a color it is; it's different in every light, nothing like the Merc one and the flakes in the paint have a great shine.

I dont know really remember what kind of tint they used when I did my car 2 years ago. But its 5% all around. I'm getting the tint replaced next week for lighter 30% 3M tint. These pics were taken before I detailed it.
I got them this dark because it kinda went with the whole theme of the car......and I like to pick my nose like Nexson said.......and sing at the top of my lungs.

Also ... I'd post pics of my 35% tint, but the local Evil Knievel gave me a fix-it ticket one cloudy Sunday afternoon about a month or so ago

also depends on interior colour. dark interiors make the tinting look darker from the outside.
I wanna get 30%, but i think my tint guy only has 35%. gahh still need to get my tints done...

Just the color...it a wee bit darker, but not illegally so..well, it's all illegal, but not blatantly so. It's very clear, no visibility issues. The same shop who did this car did my 2010....the biggest difference is the back window at night. The 3m was blurry to me...but there were no bubbles that i could see...so I chalked it up to the film
