LBB Window Tints Suggestions

Benzima · 06-06-2017, 08:33 AM

Hi!

I am getting my car window tinted. Looking for either 20% or 35% all around.

Please share some pics!

Thanks!

I went with 35%, as I didn't want it too dark.

Some pics from different angles...

Thanks looks good. I have 35% on my MK6 Golf R and I really like it. I might be tempted to go 20%...

Yes, sometimes when its super bright out I wish I'd gone darker, but mostly I'm happy with 35%.

I had 35% all around on my 2002 Acura RSX Type-S. Colour was Arctic Blue Pearl, so a little darker than LBB.

I always wished it was a little darker on my Acura so I went with 20% on my BSM. Looks great in both day and night. Thought about it for weeks before I picked up the M2 cause I didn't want to have visibility issues on spirited driving. Went with Formula One film.

Super happy with 20%, glad I went darker.

I also did 35% and I like it. The cops don't bug me about it because they can see through it in the dark.

35% all around

35% Pinnacle ceramic. I still need to do the windshield. I will do that at 50%.

P4rD0nM3 · 06-17-2017, 10:21 PM

I think I will do 35% I think that is the lowest you can go in Illinois. Right now, I just don't know which type/brand. Any suggestions?

bernstem · 06-18-2017, 09:31 AM

I had 20% on one of my old cars. It was great in the day, but at night was a touch too dark for me. There are a lot of people around my neighborhood who feel compelled to jog at dawn or dusk wearing all black and no lights or reflectors. It is definitely harder to see them with 20% tint. I have 35% ceramic tint now and it is plenty dark. The ceramic also rejects heat better than the 20% non-ceramic I had on the last car.

35% all around

jayg80 · 06-20-2017, 12:00 AM

I went with 35% sides and back. I found 20% a little too dark for evening driving and more likely to attract cops in CA.

nszzya · 07-07-2017, 11:46 AM

Trying to decide between 3M Color Safe vs. Suntek CXP at 35%. Anyone have any experience with either?
