Window Tint - Yes or No?

Tint! If you do it, 35% llumar ceramic is my preference. Great quality and major heat reduction. I did 35% around my current all around the car and the visor. Once I get an F-Type, it's going to be the same except Instead of the visor, pay the massive price for the windshield tint that is like 70% but blocks UV Rays also. Gotta protect that leather!

Another thing to consider about tint is the lighting changes so much during the day. I love the 35% ceramic functions.
You need ceramic, metallic blocks phone signals and the remote signal and dyed looks like crap over time (even the good ones), they also don't block nearly enough heat.
With a black interior, I think its vital to tint in order to be comfortable touching your interior, especially on a hot day when you get back to your car. I have a good ole manual and I know prior to tinting, touching the metal/leather shifter knob was impossible.
Going by the pics on this thread, its just taking a car that looks like an 11, and turns it to a 12. @mm767cap, absolutely gorgeous, makes me rethink my color choice to white from firesand.

When I have my vehicle windows tinted I do less than the legal limit I don't like the windows dark.

I've only seen a quick pic of my coupe, I can't get there before Saturday to pick it up. I noticed on that pic that the windows look tinted. My GM said it has some factory tint. That's why I decided to see it first and drive it a few days before deciding. I'm on the AL Gulf Coast and it gets H. O. T. here!!

No it can be done too. The roof is already tinted and rejects UV. So you would only bother if you had a tint which could really perform against IR.

OB is beautiful, as is the entire Gulf Cioast. Gorgeous sugar white sand you don't find on the other beaches in the US.

What parts of the car are you having filmed? I am still undecided whether to go with a ceramic coating or the film. If I choose the film I plan to cover the full hood, side panels, doors and the spoiler.

I am considering a lighter tint that offers more IR protection like the PhotoSync that Stealth mentioned or the 3M crystalline.

Wouldn't it be best to do the film and the coating? Film for rock protection and coating for paint protection where not filmed?
On the tint I did side windows only at the max allowed in Texas and have no problem seeing the mirrors. I did not do the back as its strictly a sun shine issue for me. The mirrors are the first auto dimming I've ever seen that really work.
Wish the visors would rotate to the side!
