Sakhir Orange: Tints or No Tints?

carlos@velosdesignwerks · 10-12-2016, 10:32 AM

Hey Members,

I do love this forum because many of you are honest in your opinions so wanted to see what you guys thought. I have been on this battle on and off of putting tints on my M4. I do like the fish bowl look from the outside but from the inside not so much lol. So thank you guys in advance.

Best Regards,

Tinted Example

As a fellow South Floridian, I'd recommend tint. As dark as possible. I have 15% all around with 50% on the windshield. Helps a lot with our brutal summers.

Edit: And looks badass too!

Tint or no tint. No idea when or why 'tints' became a thing.

bb1857 · 10-12-2016, 12:12 PM

Tint....every car in the world, even a Peel P50 looks better with tint!

Thank you!

And you should go with tint.

'Cane · 10-13-2016, 08:12 AM

Tint, for sure, especially in South FL.

Habber · 10-13-2016, 08:47 AM

Tint. It looks nice with every colour.

FirstF80InSpace · 10-13-2016, 09:33 AM

Go with a light tint. Like a 40. You'll get the best of both worlds.

Alvinized52 · 10-13-2016, 09:38 AM

I had an E46 before this... with no tint. I was a big fan of FishBowl look and never thought the point of tinting. After a few years in Socal, interior started to fade. Decided to do a light tint my M4 when I got it for this reason... Ive grown to love tinted look on my car. I suggest to go with 35-40%. Best of both worlds.

I went 45 on windows and 60 on windshield, best thing I can recommend

helps a ton with heat.
