Anyone Tint their Sunroof?

Wondering if anyone on the boards have tinted their sunroof?

If so what % and brand tint? Pictures??

I'm bringing my car to get tinted and thinking about doing the roof as well...

cheers,

I see no need to tint them any darker than the factory tint. You might as well just close the opaque cover if you want it any darker.

That sounds like a viable idea to me. Many times I would like to have it open, but too bright as is too enjoy, or too much heat.

Definitely tint the sunroof. I find myself barely closing the cover ever since I tinted it. I went with a dark tint on the sunroof but dont remember the %. I went with medium in the front windows & dark on the rear & roof.

good luck

I have mine done and it was done the same as the rest of the car, 30% Huper Optik. Honestly, it was the best thing I did b/c now I leave the sunroof door open all the time and don't get blinded or burned, like someone said above. I'll post pics if you want to see them.

Guessed they wanted it double-tinted.
