I am planning to put a window tint on my 2011 TL.
Color: Polished Metal.

Are there different kind of tint colors? If yes, which color would you recommend? If there is no different color, what kind of shade would you recommend?

Cheers

I have Huper Optik 35% all around.



From far away its a bit reflective but as you come closer to the car, it turns into a dark shade(it helps that I have an ebony interior)

My local Acura dealer uses Llumar Ceramic.
The whole car will run me $240+tax.

Is Llumar comparable to Huper?

I've never looked into Llumar, but the pricing is about right compared to Huper.
I paid about $360.
Huper is also a ceramic tint.

Llumar is a high quality film. Its the only brand i ever put on my family or my cars.

Huper Optik is the only way to go as far as ceramics go...

Llumar is alright for metallic tint...

Many Dealers will not put tint on the windows, since they had issues with increased friction when the window is lowered causing pre-mature window motor failure.. I have had my rear three windows tinted, medium black, and rarely ever lower the windows in the rear. California does not allow front side windows to be tinted.. 3 rear windows were $120 for the TL and the same for the wifes 2009 TSX..

I have 3m Color-Stable 35% all the way around on mine. Think it cost me about $215.

We actually got our 2011 TL's windows tinted today. We got Llumar window tint (15%) and it is what we have had on our last 4 cars. Not sure about other brands, but we've never had an issue with the quality of the film. That said, the longest time we've owned a car with the film is 5 and 6 years so I can't vouch for anything beyond that.

Whole car, $160.

Treated my new TL to a wash today. Here's a pic of her and the window tint I mentioned in the post above.

Same color as mine,, PM! This is what a car should look like. This design will Not Age much over the next 4-5 years, just ahead of its time!! WAIT, is that a spec of dust I see on the window????? Just Kidding!

i like the black tint better then the silvery tint, MUCH BETTER (it's almost like just too much silver...)



and maybe even black out those headlights


along with a ronjon grill to help get rid of some of that chrome up front (everybody hates the design especially at first, but once you get rid of huge grill with it's amount of chrome, it's actually not a bad front end design)(and yours does not stand out cause of the car being silver, and the grill kinda blending in some)
