silver tint
i'm planning on tinting my 8, i have a silver '05. i've seen silver cars b4 w/ silver tint and they look wicked!!!! but i haven't seen one on an 8 so i don't know if they will look as good. also does silver tints have % like black tints. any other tint recommendations are also welcome. pictures will be the best. thanks.

silver tint? wow that sounds like it would either come out looking gaudy, nasty, cheap and terrible or totally badass. i gotta see that
|
i've seen it on other cars and it is bad ass. there's alot of them out there, but i might be wrong by calling it "silver tint", but they look silver to me. LOL
|
It's "reflective" tint that I imagine you're thinking of. And, yes, done right, it can look great. Done badly and it looks like total ghetto ass.
|
Haven't seen it on an 8, but I know what you are referring to. Personally, I think it looks tashy. But, too each their own. I respect other peoples choices. It's their car, not mine.
Might wanna check w/your local laws also. Several states have outlawed it. It is extremely reflective and is a danger to LEO's on stops. Plus, I find depending on the angle of the car/trucks windows, that my own headlights, (or sunlight during the day), reflect back and shine back into my eyes...grrrrrr Choose wisely young grasshopper. |
thats probably it, thanks sigma.
do you know if they have % like black tints? |
when i had my integra it has limo tint, so im used to being pulled over all the time. i've seen the reflective tints on other cars and they don't look as good as other cars, thats why i want to see a pic of one (if there's any) b4 i do mine.
any other suggestions on tint % on my silver 8. |

i might drop by at mike's tint or xtreme tint and check it out..
|
nuke i live by you so if you get a nice outcome i'll go to the same tinter as you ;D

mike's tint did my integra and it looked good, his in anaheim, his work are on several low rider mags ,and it xtreme tint is located on whittier, a friend of mine had his done there. also xzbit got his tint there and one legendary import dude (i forgot his name) that did a project with xb scion b4 those cars came out, got his tint there too.
i let you know what tint ill get |
mike's tint shop does unbelievable work. i've seen several of their tintjobs at SEMA. Crazy tint graphics. Personally I think smoke film looks better on most vehicles compared to the reflective films. Plus metallized films can possibly disrupt AM radio reception. Although I haven't had any complaints from customers about it. Someone here posted a pic of their 8 with Quantum (fully metallized) film....can't remember who...but it looked pretty damn good. I think it's in the "Opinion of window film" thread somewhere in here.

yep...this thread https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/opinion-window-tinting-59444/page2/ pic posted by Boosted.

I think it might ruin the look of a two door car. the Black Pillar with silver all around it... iono. to each his own.
Reflective tint is illegal in california. well.. it says "must not increase reflectivity" :rolleyes: |
If you think it's worst for Limo tint, get ready for reflective tint. That's going to attract a lot of ticket-bored police...
|
There's only one color of tint. Black, anything else is rice.

P.S By the way, I got mine done over year ago, and never the police said anything about my windows. :cool: |
