Tint looks terrible on a 4 door sedan. Makes your car look like you are part of a car service fleet.


Umm..... what?! So tint is fine on a coupe, but not a sedan? Are you serious? I think 35% tint on any car especially when it is done on all sides and rear enhances the look of EVERY car. I seriously have never heard anyone say that "tint looks terrible on a 4 door sedan." That statement simply makes no sense.

The feedback has been terrific. Thank you. Long story short, I'm a 32 year old CPA (grayed early so look older), the 550 w/ SP is an eye turner as is, so when you add the dark tint, I'd hate for passerby's to think that I'm an old "F" trying to hang w/ the younger crowd. I guess its a perception thing.

The car definitely looks better w/ tint, hands down. Will post a pic once I get out of the geriatric ward...

Cheers,
Sergio

I have 50% Tint and really happy with my selection. 50% gives technically good proctection, but don't limit visibility.

I have 35% all around and it looks great, but at night, it can be hard to see when backing up.

$50 in an e60? I'm calling you next time I need a ride then!

I hate riding in the back of those mushy towncars!
