green tint

superfro86 · Feb 15th, 2003, 04:39 PM

does anyone know if and where i can get the greenish tinted window tint that you can get factory on upscale cars. I would not use any tint at all but i can't deny the fucntional advantages of tint which are the fact that they keep the car cooler, reduce glare, and reduce that feeling of the sun beaming on you.

green??? are u sure? why not just get black if u are in it for the functional advantages... i dont know i tried to find silver a while back. had no luck. but i didnt search hard.

when i say green i don't mean green, green. it just has a hint of green in it. some luxary cars have this factory. check out the windows on this skyline to see what i mean.

Like those... Lexus SUV's right?

which one they have like 3 now (RX 300, GX 470, LX470) but yeah that would be pretty much what i'm looking for. hopefully i'll be able to get this aftermarket and not have to get it professionally done.

Most tint shops should have that film. I believe you can get very light blue . . . or was that very light green.

I seen red tint on some car, and I was just wondering if that is legal, or if it's just for show???

You can actually get Red/Blue/Yellow/Green tint from any Auto Shop.. like
Checker Auto Parts &
AutoZone.

Not too expensive, but it doesn't have that metallic finish... and they come in different shades.

They are legal, but they have to follow your states laws reguarding the percentage.. (like in colorado the drkest is %17)

aah ok I got u... I dont know if them tint colors would look any good, with the exception of the red, that looked pretty tight

Personally all tints look bad that arent black... colors are not too horrid but mirror tint and the fading metal tint are nasty. Just my opinion. _James

did any of you even bother to click the link and look at the skyline? the green tints the autozones ect, sale won't give the color i'm looking for. and dry boy i'm talking about the factory tint luxuary cars come with. by no means would they look ghetto or nasty. I guess i'm going to have to just stick with plain old 35 tint since this is probally something only reserved for luxary cars. but i might have to check out what hawaiian se-r was talking about since that might be what i'm lookin for.

Well,
You could just walk into a lexus dealer and ask them what kind of tint it is. Or ask them to put it on your car. They do have it in their service dept. in case someone gets into anaccident and needs a new window or something.

but if i'm not mistaken factory tint is actually sprayed on like bedliner to a avoid the problems of regular film window tint. plus they would probally want mad paper to take the windows out my car, and spray it in. I'll just settle with plain old 35 percent

my friends g35 has the green tint. maybe its not tint at all, maybe its just some layer of UV protectant or something.
