Looks nice. How much did that run you? Someone told me something like that is actually 2 tints, the base tint, then the color tint?

I've seen red tint. The WWest Civic has red tint all around.

no its a single tint, i still have about 8 feet left of my tint roll, it cost me $50 for 20 feet, enough for the whole car with windshield banner and roughly 6-8 feet left

and yes there is red tint, my friend justin has it on his celica (lowredcruzr), heres a pic of his car

personally, i like dark tint better than colored tint. all the cars i see around here with blue and red tint look really stupid. if you get it done, get it done right cause when its a bad job, it looks horrible.

I agree man. I've seen a couple of cars around here with colored tint and it looks like ass. Especially this dark green Civic with light green tint. Looks ugly as hell. Just my .02 worth. I got regular black 15% tint on my spectra blue and it looks really good.

Hey Bat I really think you should get dark tint instead of Blue tint. You already have a spectra blue car. The dark tint will look better..........oh yes....I sent you my check for the overlay kits today.

You outta smoke your taillights and sidemarker lights. That would look hella tight! I think I have something for those;).

I have the darkest tint that is legal on my Spectra Blue, and I think it looks much better than the colored tint. The reason I say that is because everyone I see with colored tint around my area has it screwed up REAL bad.

my tint was done professionally, i guess youd have to see it in person... ;)

but everyone around here likes it

yea i have been around the tint, on my silver celica, i had mirrored blue tint, got tired of that so i put 5% on the back and then 30 on my front two until i nicked the one front, so i put 5 up there until this weekend and then i got pulled over and a warning to take it off or i would get a fine, so i pulled it off, now i think im goign to 20 all around.

i just tinted my windows with regular black 20% and it looks damn good i think. i wouldn't advise going darker then that cause you have really dark colored interior so it makes the tint look darker.

I thought of the mirror tint, but it is illegal to have reflective tint in my state. They really enforce it around here too...so I dont want to waste cash on tint that has to come off when they get me in a week....
Probably gonna do black...
