Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior color tints... what do you guys think about it?

Last sat. i went to get a tint and man they did a horrible job. the guy had dirt in some spots, the rear windows tint wasnt cut straight, there were lil bent marks on the tints... it was f***ed up. I was mad. i made them take off the tint and got my money back. thats the last time im going to that place.

anyways i found this other tint shop, which is more professional. they have all sorts of tints. Im trying to decide between a 35% blue tint or a 30%mirror tint. what do you guys think.?

ewwwwwwwww no

Black, color just dosen't look right. Don't get mirror, not to tasteful. But its your car, get whatever you want.

i like it simple, just black

I don't like the color tints .. they're tacky to me. As for the mirror, it would look alright if you had something to offset it, like chrome rims.

Black always looks the best though

^^^ i have gunmetal rims w/ a chrome polish lip if that helps?

duwd get a really dark gold tint.. that rox

ok mirror is so horrible words cant even explain..um..light blue like the ones that come on the benz clk.wouldnt b bad since you have a blue car..but eep it SUPRE LIGHT..like abrely noticable..jsut a little glimmer of blue when you hit the right angle..but overal ..black is the way to go..persoanlyl i took my tints off..looks so much nicer..tints look cheap sometimes..

I think the colors tend to seem like a good idea when you're shopping around, but once it's on your car I think it's only a matter of time before it looses it's novelty.

blizakk

BLACK tint

get whatever you like.

get what ever you think looks good. it's your car and it shouldn't matter what other people think...
my personal opinion: BLACK/SMOKE GREY
color tint looks real tacky... and mirror tint looks good on luxury cars only IMO

I like the look of black tint on any car

no...keep it simple...but if you like it go for it

theres a spectra blue celica around here with blue mirrior tint it looks good

I prefer just reg. black

theres a blu celi w/ blu tint and blu rims in my area, I just point and laugh everytime I see it

Since your car is blue, the blue might not look so bad.. (ive seen it before)... mirror tint is ok if you got something to carry it out through the rest of the car.. but i like black above all.

how mutch is the mirror tint at 35% can you see in?
if you cant see in i wudd gonne for that , i havent really seen it for real so

and blue is nice but then i wudd only go for a little so you just can see the blue from some angels like the new mercedes

you kno wat would look good wen usin color is if you put both...like a blue tint first then the top layer would be light smoke black tint. It would look dark blue...seen it before and it looked nice. I wanna get it but costs too much. I asked around and it would cost 220 jus for the blue and 140 for the smoke...

here it cost 190 for the blue. Its not like a royal blue. The tint looks more like a dark blue to me. The tint shop said he'll put a sample on my windows to see what it'll look like, If it looks nice ima get it. if not ima go wit the 30% black tint.

yeah i asked the guy about the double tint. He said it'll cost another job. 160+160 = 320... ouch... to much for a tint.

Maybe i can do the tint in black myself it looks easy to do. all i have to do is cut it to the shape of the window and stick it on. I seen it how it was done at the first shop I went to. It looks so easy. After that i can go and get the shop to put the blue tint on. What do you think?

That new light blue that mercedes have is nice. I saw a mercedes with it this morning.

the ones that comes with luxury cars like the mercedes are not tints. those are actually the glass itself...

well, then their glass is nice!

hahaa yea they do look nice. The reason i kno that its the glass itself is because i knew i guy where i used to work and he did tints...

I think color tints are pretty queer, I prefer just plain normal tints...but get whatever you like...

i like some of the color tint i would get blue

Colored tints= Black is the only way to do it.

anything other than black is rice as far as I'm concerned

^^ i know mercedes and other luxury car companies have used a slight bluish complexion on their windows and that's fine. But the ricers who get any color of the rainbow on their windows need to die.

I personally think color tint looks horrible...I can't imagine having to look through colored glass everyday...

i think dark blue is fine...but color ones like red green and any other color is gay even the regular blue tint alone.

colored tints are gay. the only color tint that should be made is black

I am getting purple tints on my car

I had them tint my car when I first bought it, which was a year ago. I got 50% on the front 2 windows (and sides), and 30% on the back hatch. Lately I have been thinking that it needs to go darker.

They said they could strip and retint the doors and side windows at 30% to match the back, but it would be $100.


Do you think thats too much $ for such a little drop? Do think I would even notice a difference?

black. its the best hands down

black

I don't know about the color tint, but I have a 30% mirror tint on my black celi, and I think it looks really good. It is very subtle. Not flashy at all. I was really happy with it.
