Window tint on white P4S - 35% or 50%?

My wife's P4S arrived at the dealer yesterday and is being prepped. Thinking about tinting the windows but not sure about how dark we should go.

Any advice? Any pictures that you have showing tint at various levels would be greatly appreciated!

I have 35% on mine but I have black interior with a black headliner. It depends on a couple things:

1. Will you get pulled over b/c of dark tint where you live?
2. If no, then it depends slightly on your interior color however, 50% is going to be really dark no matter what interior color you have.
3. Do you or your wife drive the car after dark? 50% will be really hard to see out of in the dark.

Click the link in my sig for pics of 35%.

The above post is incorrect. 50% will be very light. During light it will appear to have almost no tint. the % refers to the amount of light let through the film into the cabin. I have 35% and in light you can still see in. If I did it over again I would go 20 or so. Depends on what you want but (Limo) 5% is very hard to see in and out of especially at night

I've got a black interior and 50% all around. You barely notice it during the day, but it gives it just enough darkness at night.

On a side note, try out the 3M tint. The difference in heat temps inside your car during the summer is night and day compared to regular tint film.. I have it on my car and couldn't me happier.

tell them to use moleskin protector



If you don't have auto dimming mirrors...might be wise to get 35% esp with light interior

35% is allright...have it on the BMW, haven't had issues with driving with it on, with auto dimming setup.

50% seems light.

Anyone put the llumar air 80 on the Pan?
I am concerned about visibility in this car.

Also, anyone have the manual sunshade on this car? If so, is it any good?
I am considering ordering it, for use before the tint is done.
