I have a black 997.2. No tint. Looked pretty classy but I've always tinted my cars. Went to tint shop, great guys. Said 95% of people go with 20% tint. So I did it. It looks good, but looks a little more "bad a$$" then im going for. Maybe should have done 35%. Thoughts anyone, and impressions on what you did with your tint would be helpful.

 

A photo would helpful to see how dark it is.

I'm usually a less is more kind of guy as it pertains to tint, but you are in South Florida and I am in dreary Portland, OR...

 

mine is 20, and I am fine with it. (no badass)

 

pics?

 

Tint appearance also depends on interior color. Just had my SUV done all the way around w/ 20% but I have a light interior and though it's pretty dark, my int keeps it from looking drug dealer dark With a black ext, if you also have a black interior, yeah it's gonna look like a deeeep black hole...

Give it a week to settle in and clear the moisture/haze between film and glass to see if you can adjust to it...

Good luck

 

I have 5% on all 3 back windows(limo tint)and 20% on the front side windows!I really don't think it looks like a "Drug Dealer" tint!LMAO!Oh... and yes I have a black interior!It's perfect in the California Sun!

 

funny, my tint guy said 90% of people get 35 . That's what I went with, but you're right 20% might be kind of dark. It might also depend on your local tint laws, here cops do not really appreciate tint that dark. Can your tint installer change it to a different shade?

 

Here it is. Rainy day but hopefully you get the point.
19 year old, trust fund, drug dealer, or tasteful, clean 911?

 

Tint is too dark for me.

 

Because the car is black, the darker tint blends in fine. It looks clean, I would leave it for a while. You can always replace it.

 

Please do not "shoot the messenger", but in my honest opinion, this is drug dealer dark. 35% would have probably been spot on. Your mileage may vary...

 

Ditto. But your opinion is all that counts.

 

I've always had 20%, think it's perfect. My tint guy convince me 15% is better on my Porsche so I took his advice. No regrets. And I think it looks fine. Of course it's going to look darker on a rainy day. Depends on what angle/light you take the picture at.

 

I'm looking to get tint soon as well. It's hard to pick a shade with a black car without going overboard. How about going with a film with a slight metallic shade?

 

I have 50% (Meteor Grey) and love it. Subtle and functional. I used to have 20% on my B5 A4 in college way back when and looking at those cars now....yikes...I guess I've grown up a bit. BTW, What is the legal limit for windows (front) in most states???
