Thinking about tinting my 08 NBP TL. Im loving the oem look but think the tint will make the car look better, any input guys?

 

silliest thread ever.

SILLY.

sillllly.



SILLLLLLLLY.

 

No, I think tint will look horrible.

 

^austin, make sure he knows that you're using sarcasm.


like seriously silly.

 

This has been covered a lot and will probably be moved into the 3G general section of the forum. Now, will it make the car look nicer is a subjective question. Some people like it, some people don't, but I think it's fair to say more people on this forum like the looks of having their windows tinted than not having them done. So I say go for it!

 

One has to ask; what is the main purpose of tint?

tint is mainly used to reject heat.
a side effect of that is, it makes your car look awesome!!!!!!!

there are many brands of tint.
there are more than one kinds of tint.

 

I wasn't using sarcasm.

You think he even knows?

 

yea i figure its a stupid thread just got back from afghanistan havent had too much time to mess with the website, but thanks anways

 

Not silly this is a very serious question that needs a very serious answer............oh my atttention is needed elsewhere

 

its your job, mr recon to figure out what your needs/wants are.

 

Recon, tint the car.

Serious post.

 

Do you want to hide from the sun?

do you want to hide from people looking in?

do you want to hide from the po-pos?

since you're in the armed services, do you want to conceal your AR-15s!?

 

Do you want to hide your face from other motorist!?

 

Recon, many thanks for your service.
And for that, I'll answer the question sincerely.

When I first got the TL, I kinda liked how clean it looked with no tint. Had that slightly bluish hue to it and could see everything inside. But honestly, once I opted to go for it, I was very happy. It really made the car look more "clean" from the outside to not see all the little details etc inside the car to mess with the flow when you look at it.

Plus, I'm in Florida and it's hot as ballz down here. So tinting is pretty much a given for us.

 

yeah just tint it and hey if you dont like it you can always take it off

 

if yes, to any of these questions....

 

^ crabby by nature LOL

 

haha thanks and yea i love the car's oem look but think tint will make it look cleaner and add more privacy also

 

I'm very glad this thread hasnt been ruined by the word tint(s)

 

I thought it was always "tints"...

 

Lol, agreed. That word urks me.

 

Of course it will make your car look bad because you'll only have one tint. Now if you got tints then that would be a different story.

 

I know OP carries his stash in his car.
he wants %5 limo tint, so you cant see up in his window.
Game cube nintendo.

 

jesus i get it lol all im going to do is laugh with this

 

stash? lol oh man im definetly going to delte this thread lol thanks for the input guys

 

You can't delete threads

 

Mr. Recon, now that we have established that you want tint, it is your job to research the kind of tint and what is available in your town.

Since i'm bored at work. I'll give a little run down.

there are essentially 4 types of tint.
1)dyed
2)metallic
3)ceramic
4)carbon

Dyed is the cheapest option, as its just film that has been dyed a dark color.
it will usually fade over time. you've seen those faded purple color tinted windows!?!?!?

metallic/ceramic/carbon all get grouped into the same category.
these will be your higher end materials. and will be priced accordingly.

Because of the area I live in, the TExas HEAT isnt a joke.
I chose to go with a ceramic tint, called Huper Optik. it is pricey. but also offers the best in heat rejection and UV reflection

 

+1

 

+2

 

+3

 

or you can plasti-dip for five dollars and it can be remove easily; trash bags work good too

 

he got dem tints for dat road headz, ma nig...

 

I believe mr. Evil virus has a 5% limo tint on his.
its a very sinister look!!!!!!

 

Lol its ok i dnt mind a little ball busting. Infantry we do it all the time.

 

I do remember you making a thread when you bought the car, glad to know you've gone and since come back home safely. Thank you for your service.
