    Window Tints

    Thinking of getting some tints for my 855.

    I know a few have got them on here, could you guys post up some pics and list what percentage they are (light blocked).

    Also, has anyone fitted them themselves? A guy at work has and said it was pretty easy with decent results.

    The legal limit for front windows is 30%.

    So, I was thinking of 30% on fronts, then maybe same on rears, or a touch darker at say 50%. Just not really sure how this actually looks.

    Don't really want limo black on the rears, just a light tint for aesthetics and some security.

    Pretty sure the standard tints are 30% anyway, the rest you can go as dark as you want, including solid!

    I have Limo Black ( Solid Black ) that TC donated and even fit for me, Pics..............









    This was the car before it was tinted...................



    I think it looks loads better tinted, but then again i would, its my car

    IIRC it was a precut kit off Ebay and TC made it look effortless to put on.

    Cool - had seen yours before Cameron. Looks nice, doubt I'll go quite as dark as that.

    So you have limo on the rears, and std glass on the front sides?
