I NEED YOUR HELP IF YOU'VE TINTED YOUR WINDOWS

Post by MattM »

A local window tint company with a good reputation has offered to tint my rear 3 windows for £140 cash. I wanna stay legal, a mate of mine was pulled over at 3am last weekend and made to peel the tints off his front sides before driving on, so the back 3 is all I want.

The help I need is to decide what tint to go for. I wanna go dark so the front at least has some appearance of tinting (the back window tint will restrict alot of light). However, I\'ve not a clue how to use Photoshop-or-whatever-the-f**k-its-called.

If you\'ve tinted, post me a picture of your car with a note on how dark the tint is to help me choose. Cheers guys.
:wink:

Heres the car, pretty much as it is now, pre tints...

go for light smoke on driver and passenger
then dark smoke on rear side windows
and limousine black on back window
that way it all blends in
