Window Tint

Can some of you guys post pics of your cars with tints and percentages? I was thinking of going light with a 50% because my car is white, but I want to see it on other cars. Thanks!!

wow, that looks good. i like that. does overlaying the tint mean that the actual percentage with both there is less than 35%? i dont know much about tinting, whats the difference between platinum and charcoal?

Well think of it this way: 35% means it allows only 35% out of 100% of light to pass through it. Add a 2nd layer of 35% and that only allows 35% of 35% of light to pass through. So my windows are roughly 12.25%.

Platinium tint is highly reflective although to me it didn't seem that dark, so I put the charcoal behind it to darken it up. It also increased the reflectiveness of the windows. My windows on some days you can somewhat see in the car, but on other days you can get as close to the windows as you want and can't see in. All depends on the amount of sunlight and cloud cover. At night, you ain't seein **** from the outside, but i can see out them just fine.

Check this site for discriptions of charcoal and platinum tints.

My tint is a different brand but this should give you an idea of it. If you get the platinum you will want to get a second layer put on. It stops the light transmitted into the car but it isn't as dark as other tints.
