Tints on a Carbon Bronze Pearl TL-S

Ok I tried to search for this but I think it is too specific. I am looking for pics of tint jobs on carbon bronze pearl tl's. I want to tint mine but am not sure what level. I will deffinately not go below the state limit. I don't lke when it's too dark. Can see as well. So if you got a pic post it up. Thanks.

I would say go 35% all the way around...I don't have CBP but in FL darkest legal is 20% and it looks pretty dark on a dark interior.

Good luck!

I agree with Rockstar 35% all around looks the best.

I too think too dark of a tint looks kind of ghettoish. 35% all around is a good balance between them all. I have it on my 07 Type S and wouldnt have done it any other way.

Also, dont mix and match shades of tint just looks stupid. Go with one tint all around for best/ cleanest look.

I went 35 front 25 back, so when cops give me problems, I say "It came stock, can't you see the difference in the back and front?"

Haha

Wow they all look great. The 15% looks dark in one pic but light in another. Must be the sun. I will have to go to a shop and see the tints in person and what they offer. I am debating between 25-30%. After seeing pics I think 35% is a little light. Thanks guys.

Yeah and the cop will laugh at you and say I will be right back with your ticket. What do you think these guys were born yesterday?

IMO mix-matching tint percent looks goofy. Go all the same or none at all.

I would recommend 20% tint....35% is a waste of time if you ask me....I have 35% all my windows except my rear window, which has 20%. The only reason I have 35% is because I work in Chapel Hill and the cops here are jerks.....I have been working in Chapel Hill for a little over a year and been stopped twice because of my tint and I've never been stopped in Durham, where I live and I've been driving there since I got my license at 16! In order to get out of my tint ticket I had to take the 18% off I had on there and submit the paperwork at the courthouse. But luckily for me, their meters require the window to roll down so the back windshield is good!!!
