Alpine White people....
What type/ color tint have you been getting? I have been thinking about what will look good on my car when it arives and I am kind of thinking like a 35% smoked/ charcoal look. But I am very interested to hear what other people have been doing so I can make the best decision possible!
thank you |

Hey, we're getting a little racist here aren't we? I prefer to be called "European American".
I have Alpine White, but no tint. Delaware does not allow any tint on the front (legally), and I don't think I would want anything very dark. I saw one in the pics from the East coast meet that looked really good, and I'm hoping to find out what type of tint he has. I might consider it.

I got the sunshades and now dont think im going to tint it. I've gotten numerous comments from people thinking the windows are tinted. White does look really hot though with a decent tint.

I'm not getting tint but I really like the looks of the metallic tint at 35%-50%. I think it's called Platinum. It looks reflective almost mirror like.

I got 35% on the side windows and 15% on the back window.
I also specified ceramic film. I am very pleased with it.

I'd like to solicit your thoughts on Alpine White with the Tera interior and Popler wood.
I must finalize my order soon and I value your opinions.

iiotoko, I think this combination looks great. Wish1 has the same exact combination. Check out these threads to see AW/Terra/Poplar http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...2&page=7&pp=22 And here's the interior photos thread if you need to get an idea of how other combinations look: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...2&page=1&pp=22 Good luck with your choice. |

35% is nice, but it is very easy to see into.

I am pretty sure thats what the percentages represent and the higher the number the more light that comes through thus the lighter...

15% is sport ult. rear windows 30/35% is light and can see the person pretty well 50% you can see everything very well. I hope that helps, IMO select the tint which looks best for the color. JB 15% SG imo should be 35% AW looks good in both 15% and 35% Artic 50% I may put 50% on my whole windsheild. I am just to lazy and dont want to wait for it at the tint shop. lol
