How would tinted windows look on a white 25th Anniversary TA

Hi
I am thinking of tinting the sides and rear window of my 25th anniversary TA. The car is white, with the factory white wheels and T -tops
ANy opinions as to how it would look and what percentage I should get ? A local tinter is willing to go down to 15 percent tint, is that too dark ?

Dark smoke tint would look killer on a white car. I however would not go that dark on the side windows, 35% should be fine IMHO.

Tinted windows look great, especially in the Appearance forum.

I think that tint would look AWESOME !!!!

Tint looks sweet on all cars

I'd go 5% on the rear window and a 5% tint strip on the front window and maybe 20% or 35% on the sides...

right now on my 97 I'm 5% rear, 5% front strip, 20% sides and its pretty dark, you cannot see in at night

Check your local law as well. It varies greatly from state to state !


I also agree with SHOEBOX, This would be great in the Appearance forum

I think tinted windows look great on any color car but are a necessity on a white one

As some others have mentioned... this topic is better suited for the Appearance Section so I'll move it there

Re: How would tinted windows look on a white 25th Anniversary TA

I want to keep the sides and the rear the same percentage. Still cant decide if I should go 15 or 35 percent with the white interior.
Since I understand that removing tint from the rear hatch could and probably would damage the defroster wires, I dont want to make a mistake. Which would you guys go with all around, 15 or 35 ?

20% all the way around- you dont want your rear darker than your sides, oh- and forget about that fron winshied tint strip
