Nbp tinted!

Hey aziners finally been able to get some tints in.



26%.
I was orginally gonna get 35% but then a friend who got his TL recently tinted got 26% all around with camel interior which is similar to my tan interior. does this look too darK? and what are the chances of getting hassled by cops driving around would you say? only reason i decided 26% last minute was that my tan interior with the 26% would look similar to that of a black interior with 35%....

and the gf is in the complain mode saying how i shoulda got 35%...

heres another shot. and yes it was dirty and fyi this was taken right after being tinted.

Agreed. I have 35% and they look just ask dark, if not darker than the tint in these pics.

OP- not too dark at all. Classy.

little update and question:

so tonight was the first time driving at night since i got my car tinted but i noticed a reflection of my third brake light on my rear window???

this is when your on the brake.



here's a close up.


anyone have this effect after tints? or did they do something wrong?

other than that co-worker and his new drop on H&R Sports with 50D SLR = sexiness



if you look at it closely you can see there is a slight difference in the stance. lol



just beautiful. thinking dropping the front plates

Tint guy didn't re-apply the 3rd brake cover. Push it into place and it should stop the backlighting.

i agree you should be fine, and like someone else said....my 35s seem darker than that to me. but it all really depends on x-factors. individual cops etc. local chicago news is running a story tomorrow night about how people keep getting $250 tint tickets for 35% even tho its been legal now for 6 months. im gonna check that out.

Wow the drop on the RRP looks good. it is so noticeable when they are next 2 each other. Anyone know the drop on the sports, about an inch i'm guessing?

I think your tint looks lighter because the pictures were taken in direct sunlight. If you take pictures later in the day the tint will look more like 26% than 35%.
