so i know this might now be the right place to post this, but this forum moves very quickly compared to others here on HT

my questions

1. Has anyone ever tinted there sun roof? Pros/Cons
2. Will it fade faster due to it being on the top direct sunlight

it would be done in a limo tint like darkness, dont know % yet

I have at least 4 tinting shops here so im bound to find one that will do it, i was just looking out the window at the EM1 and i see the reverse side of the tray and i dont like seeing it, and it is highly visable sense my car is 2in's from the ground so it would in my mind look clean.

 

it will last, do it, it helps if you dont have a the dealy that you can shut over it

 

i have the cover that slides i just dont like how i can see the back side of it if your looking down on the car. just doesnt look that good. but the tint will match up with the rest of the car good, black rims, carbon fiber hood, and black tint. also im planning on doing a tint job on the front window like my wifes car. banner style on the top and bottom of the glass but i need to get a new window first.... grr crack grew like a biatch

 

anyone else's take on this?

 

?

 

I've heard some tint shops say you can't tint a moonroof because it can crack from heating up.

Then again, I've also been told a 6G moonroof won't crack because it's made of Temperlite.

The cover piece you're talking about is called the sunshade btw.

 

thats for the info on the part name. i pondered over that for awhile

 

and thats what i was worryed about, i will have to get some info from the tint shop too on it

 

tinted mine profesionally many years ago (prob about 4-5 years ago) oem ek4 sunroof come with factory tint but i wanted fairly dark to really block sun, been completely fine fine,

 

thanks! i was moving this up with bump soon because i was looking for someone who has it done and how long,i dont care if it makes it more then 3 years, just didnt want to have it done and then at the end of summer have it chipping down on me.

 

I had mine tinted and it last for 5 years now,but it should be done professionally Feels nice to block out the sun a little.

 

haha yeah i have a shop that can do it for me, just needed some feedback on it before i do it

 

a friend of mine had hers done, the guy did it for free cuz she flirted with em. but its been holding up for like 3 year now.

 

thanks for the info, im married so im going to half to pay haha but again thanks for the info

 

I had mine done and love it. I got 5% and from the outside you can't see in the car but I can see fine out. It's been workin for me so far. I love it. You will be happy if you do it.

 

yeah i looked at the % and i would be going with the 5% to black it out. thanks for your comment lsvtecurbosol
