I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Living in a city which never sleeps is great, but when it comes to the scorching heat during the summer, plain windows just does not cut it. I own a white S14 and I'm thinking about tinting the windows. Here in Nevada, its possible and legal to apply FULL limo tint on all windows except the windshield due to the extreme heat the area receives. I'm not the type to get full limo tint because it looks like a POS on a 240, hah , so I'm looking around for ideas on how to tint the car. Post some ideas here, and help a fellow 240-brotha out.

Here's some photoshopped tint images of the vehicle

(Car with more of a 'smoke' effect)


(With a dreadful FULL LIMO tint)

I'm also thinking about reflective mirror tint, do you guys think that would look savvy? If you have any ideas, please post them. I'd really appreciate it.

I wouldnt go full on tint, 20% in the front and 10% in the rear? im not a fan of the mirror tint on 240s, looks nice on expensive cars though

 

GET THAT MIRROR TINT WITH BLUE FLAME TINT!! HELLA GANGSTA

 

i dont think you should tint it, but if you must go with a light tint. but i would just crack the windows or park in the shade or sumthin.

 

Can anyone post pictures of their vehicles equipped with tint and state the % of tint applied to them? Exact examples would really be great. And that idea of 20% fronts and 10% rear sounds good. I just wished you had examples to show me. Thanks and keep posting ideas, its really helpful!

 

20% would be perfect.
it's dark enough, yet you can still see through it in the daytime.

 

i would go with 5% back and 15% front, that's what i have on mine, though it is cobalt green, but it still looks good. i'm thinking of upgrading the front to 5% too, but i'm not sure.

i can get some pics for you if you're still interested

 

Yeah, pics would be great. I really want to preview what others such as you have done to your car's when it comes to tint. Please post them!

 

wish i could tint mine....but it's illegal here...you can only tint it like 50%...or was it 5%?? iono...whichever one is the lightest.

 

5% = view is limited with 5%, its almost limo tint
50% = your view is cut by half, but your view is much more than 5%.

That sucks, well, I suppose Minnesota doesn't have a scorching sun that bring the heat up to 120 degrees during summer, so its alright. If it wasn't so hot here, I wouldn't even apply tint. But it is, so to protect my interior from fading and any damages from heat and sun, I'll pay for some tint.

 

God dont go promoting Saturn Boy's tint.. geezz its bad enough that He has it.. dont be giving any one ideas

 

I like the yellow/goldish tint that comes on the Lexus SUV's

 

ahh but those dont look good on a white 240 lol.
