I have heard of shops that will put darker than the legal limit as long as you pay cash, so there isnt any way for it to come back on them. No invoice, no real proof that they put the tint on your windows.

 

A large local shop wouldn't tint below the legal limit, but I found a small outfit that had no qualms about doing whatever I wanted—and I paid by credit card. I chose 20% all around and am happy with it. Limo tint looks cool, but you might take out a few pedestrians at night if you aren't careful. I wouldn't be concerned about being pulled over for 20% unless the cops were after you for something else, but darker tint could get you into trouble.

 

I have a new graphite pearl, and was thinking about tinting around. I wanted a % that would "blend" into the body without being too dark. I just wanted a little color to it. What does everyone recomend for that?

 

35% may not be bad, but there are other colors too. Black is typical, as was shown in the pics of my car, but you can get gray or brown, along with others. Gray may blend in real well with the graphite. ANyone here have pics of gray tint?

 

if you wanted something other than the standard black just ask the shops, I know that they have different colors, I've seen one that fades from white to black that looks pretty nice but it's all about what you want to do, if you plan on introducing some additional colors to the car on the rims for example then having the tint match looks good, like white rims with blue lettering then a blue faded to black tint....
