Thumbs up Need help with Color!

I have a Noble Green pearl TL`s, and I need to know the best tint for it. I`m leaning towards a mirror green tint, But everyone tells me that Green tint chances color after a while. Any input would greatly be appr. Since you only install it once, you better get it right!

Thanks!

I'd just go with good old regular smoke tint. Personally I think that the colored tints are pretty ghetto, but in the end it's up to you.

I always told myself that if I ever get a cool car that was green I would pain this on the trunk lid......"The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine!!" It's an old Simon and Garfunkle song from 1966.

hey BEAR@DAY,
Ive got that color car with 20%back doors and rear windshield and 35% on the front doors. I'll send pics from my home pc later this afternoon. It's regular smoke tint, i wouldnt go with color i dont even like that stuff on the big Mercedes.
I would've prefered 20% allaround but Cali's pretty strict on front tint(the law says NO tint on front doors)and ever since our last CHP got shot it's a $150.00 ticket from the CHP and plain old fix-it from any other agency.

i'm not into mirrored tints...i think a medium charcoal- or bronze-colored tint all the way around would look very nice!

My mom has a 2000 Accord SE that is green and she got some type of mirror green tint that doesn't look to bad. It works for her.

Regular smoke color or platinum for a charcoal/mirror reflection.

Anything other than regular black tint is ghetto.
Silver mirror looks ok on some ricer cars though, but any other color is tacky.

Dude,
You've got a classy car. Keep it that way.
Go with something subtle, like 35% tint all around or a just a bit darker in the back.
Green is a nice color on the TL. Why draw attention AWAY from the paint to your windows? Once you tint 'em, no one can see YOU anyway.
