Need opinions on window tint, bronze or black? EBP EM1 Si
Here's what the car looks like now. also, with the tint, whichever color you think i should go with... "Stripe or no stripe?"
The car is not going to be hardcore jdm or anything, just want a nice, clean car with some slight j-flair to it, nothing crazy. I'm getting ready to do a set of hid's and rsx or s2k black leather seats, but the first thing on my list is window tint. I've been debating on a few different options, I've talked to a few friends and they all have different opinions.
1. bronze tint... (my homes' g-dad has it on his green lexus sc300, pretty nice) 50% front + 20% stripe at top / 20% sides, rear, sunroof
2. black/charcoal... 15% stripe front / 15 - 20% sides, rear, sunroof

DO NOT TINT THE SUNROOF! It can break the glass because the tint will not allow the glass to exand and contract. Sunroof glass is not the same as all the other windows. I had a buddy with an eclipse who had a tinted sunroof and on a really hot day he opened the door and it exploded. Glass EVERYWHERE! Also one of my good friends owns a tint shop... so I'm not just talking ****.

Green tint is nice (heat-rejecting). I liked the window tint so much on my JDM ITR doors, that I got my black tint stripped and replaced to match the doors.
