HELP Choosing a Tint - NEED advice

[billa06bong]

Hey

So I own a black on black 335i coupe. I decided to use a ceramic tint instead of a metallic tint to make sure it doesnt interfere with my electronics. I was wondering what tint % to use.

Options:
1- 35% all around (might not be dark enough)
2- 15% all around (more susceptible to getting a ticket since its darker)
3- 35% front two windows / 15% back two and rear windows (might look weird having two different colors on the side)

THANKS!!! All your advice is needed. Please post pictures if you have any!

If you search for threads started by me you can see my car with 28%. I don't like black cars with dark windows. Too black for me.

Hello "billa06bong":

This has been discussed to death. It comes down to personal preference.

My opinion is that I hate any tint. Others love it. The wife's X5 is tinted so dark that you can view a solar eclipse through it without eye protection.

Then again, perhaps it is a good thing for society that others can not see her through it either.

Despite our angry scientists thoughts...I think you can do anything in moderation.

Hello "Beer Goggles":

You mean like mixing a modicum of botulinum toxin in your tuna sandwich? Perhaps just a scooch of Ebola in your breathing air?

And I am not a "scientist". Among other things I am a "physicist". Without a doubt a much lower form of life.

Hello "gloster":

So you have met her.....

nm335,

Then perhaps the X5 was the wrong vehicle choice for her. Perhaps you should have got her a Chrysler 300c with the Hemi, summer tires on 20" rims, and 2 bottles of tequila to keep her warm on a snowy winter's night.


oh wait.....you live in NM....hmmmmm, need a new plan

Go either with 35 all around of 15? The legal limit in MASS is 35 so that's what I have, go with black tint...forget metallic.
