Carbon Bronze Pearl w/ Ebony Interior Owners - TINT HELP

Hey Guys,

I have a CBP TL with Ebony interior. I wanted to know how you guys have your cars tinted. I live in CA so there are relatively strict tint laws. I was thinking like 35% all the way around. Does anyone have pictures of their CBP w/ ebony tinted up?

Wanna get this done next weekend.

Thanks Guys!

I also have the same color, CBP with Ebony interior. I did 5% in the rears and didn't tint the front. Looks really clean. The black enterior enhanced the tint so it looks alot more darker. I don't think you can do 35% in the front, correct me if I'm wrong, the legal limit is 70% in the front for California. But 35% would be a good choice, and if you could pull it off go for the front and back. With my 5% tint, my fronts look slightly tinted, my co-worker actually thought I got my front windows tinted.

I think I have posted these before but here goes again.....35% all the way around







Hope it helps! One word of advice, get the moleskin, my car is about 5 months old and the tint is trashed already. I wish I listened to everyones warnings!

^ That looks pretty good.

+1 on the Moleskin. The wipers on the inside of the window press pretty hard against the glass. Dirt, sand, soot, anything that gets caught between the wiper and the tint will scratch the living hell out of the tint. Surprisingly, this can happen by rolling down the windows just a handful of times.

ANY tint in the front side windows other than what is there already is not legal in California. So so you know.

I've been reading that 70% in the front is legal, and any tint on the back windows is legal. I will ask the guy at the tint shop. Anyone know of an reputable tint shops here in the LA area? I was thinking of going to SunSheild in Sherman Oaks since they seem to have some good reviews.
