nice cars

ww007 · 01-14-2011, 04:54 PM

Sweet rides... are they both yours???

yungmsix · 01-14-2011, 06:17 PM

No, they are my clients cars. we had just tinted the cars, so we decided to have a photo shoot, both clients came the same day without knowing each other. so it was really cool to have the black and white theme going on.

I hate the new Lexus LS rear taillights.

DaveL · 01-14-2011, 08:16 PM

Nice tint job looks superb!Think the alpine white with tints looks a tad better not quite so black...Know what I mean?

electro-house · 01-14-2011, 08:28 PM

Why do people take pics only of the outside? People even do this on eBay motors and sites showing their cars for sale, as if the inside is irrelevant.

LOVE those tinted tails on the "is"... it's just the right percentage. I'm not a fan of dark tinted tails, and the aw e92 is a little too dark for me.

nice rides

T3X4S · 01-14-2011, 10:29 PM

Tasty

mad villain · 01-14-2011, 10:57 PM

Very nice lookin rides.....just outta curiosity...why did u (or I guess ur clients) choose to go with darker in the back and lighter in the front?
I was initially gunna do a similar combo to the 'is' but ended up goin with 30% all around instead....I thought because the front windows r so large it might look weird with 5% rear and lighter fronts but it seems to work on both of these cars

yungmsix · 01-14-2011, 11:29 PM

Because California Tint Laws don't allow tint on the front windows, so people go lighter where its more acceptable. Most cops wont pull you over if it looks lighter in the front. most of the time it looks really nice, because it looks like a fade. it fades from dark to light.

Definitely, i hate the really pitch black lights too. i actually dont even offer the real dark tint for tail lights, i have not lost a single client to this either, my preference is to keep it looking nice and classy, the medium smoke does the job just right. because at night you can still see the tail light brake lights, and it really reduces the chances of you being pulled over because of it. and it looks really nice in the day as well.

White is always sexy, i would take a White IS over a Black one. just stands out more.

ahhh yea they don't allow tint on the fronts here either which is why i went with 30% all around in hopes that it still looks light enough that they can see inside...most cops won't pull you over if they can kinda see you

Addicted2Boost · 01-15-2011, 02:43 AM

nice rides

yungmsix · 01-15-2011, 11:25 AM

yeah, the white 3 got 15% and 35%. the black one got 15% and 5%.

What's the point of tinting darker for the rear window? ...

yungmsix · 01-15-2011, 05:34 PM

i'd say a good 80% of people in California/LA tint their back windows darker, due to traffic laws.
