Window Tints...**** or good ?

Johnny50 · 31-07-2007, 17:28

Reason i'm asking is, the sunblinds in the back are no use for my 7 month old daughter, so we were looking to get the windows done.

Problem is, the car is Black Magic, so i'm scared it may look a little "****"

Any advice ?

bengie · 31-07-2007, 19:59

go for it, black car+black tints=awesome

quite randomly tonight i have removed the silver tints from the back of my mazda and replaced them with black tints and also did the rear window, i wouldn't recommend doing it yourself as although massively cheaper it will never ever look anywhere near as good. i'll take some picks in a minute

sworrall · 31-07-2007, 20:19

go for it, am considering it for mine too

Johnny50 · 31-07-2007, 22:20

Still undecided.....

bengie · 31-07-2007, 22:27

post a pic of your car and i'm sure someone can play with it to darken the windows so you can see what ti will look like

from the inside the windows are no where near as dark and you can see quite easily out of them, most are quite surprised the first time they see them

Johnny50 · 31-07-2007, 22:38

Here we go !

bengie · 31-07-2007, 22:42

have you got one with the windows fully closed?

Johnny50 · 31-07-2007, 22:45

lol..just noticed that once i posted it. doh...2 mins.

Johnny50 · 31-07-2007, 22:48

Damn...every pic i have, the windows are open.

bengie · 31-07-2007, 22:51

d'oh

can give it a go anyway but might look funny.

Johnny50 · 31-07-2007, 22:53

no worries.

i can always take a pic in the morning and post it up.
Off to bed now anyway.

that's the problem with living in sunny Scotland - windows are always open

I would say go for it mate - I am thinking of getting mine done, with the b-pillars done black to match.

skodavenezuela · 01-08-2007, 01:00

Mid tint for my Octy

Look my avatar friend

Go for it!

heres just a quick tint.

Mr Grumpy · 01-08-2007, 03:00

I think they are nasty, but then again I have had the 'full pimp' done to mine, but I have no taste or sense of style whatsoever.
There are some rubbish pictures on here somewhere.

Had the X trail rear windows blacked out for the kids (they kept pulling the suction cup blinds off)

Looks great,kids are happy.Think that is the right order! Reckon a Fabia would look great

I've got tints on mine... I love em but know that its probably not to everyones taste. I'd post a pic but I don't know how!

Johnny50 · 01-08-2007, 09:14

Mike, Would you be able to email me a pic please seeing as yours is Black Magic aswell ?

vrsSprint, many thanks for the pic, appreciated.

I know tints aren't to everyones taste, but my main reason isn't for looks, it more the purpose that they serve, i just dont want it looking too pimp.

Mike C · 01-08-2007, 09:20

I'll nip out to the car park in a min and take a couple of shots on my phone. Just to warn you, they are about as black as you can get them!

Johnny50 · 01-08-2007, 09:27

lol...no worries.
