Post pics of your tints!

Please post some pics of your tints. Im looking to have mine done and want to see what percentages you guys are using.

FYI - I have rear privacy glass. Should I go over it to make it darker?

Let me see some of your pics.

Thanks

oh, ok.

I'll post some of the shade option pics. I chose that instead of over tiniting the rear.

19s

Looking for pics is the hardest thing. I did a search for "tint" and "tints" but there are really no good pics of each % of tint.

You can get Veredestein Wintrac Utrac Xtreme to fit. Also Pirellis. Both are as good a tire as you will get. Better than most.

It's recommended to have a thinner tire for winter. I bought some OEM 18x7 and put the Vredesteins on.

Not sure who owns this X, but I came across it a little while back and kept these pics moreso because it stood out from others with the extra dark tinting and lower valance parts painted the bodycolour.
Not really my cup of tea re tinting as it's a bit full on. I'd guess around 10 - 15% at the rear and a tad higher (maybe not??) for the front. Wow, check out the windscreen even. Wouldn't get away with that here in Aust.
To each his own I guess.
