My prev car was 43% solar guard. The car didn't have any factory tint at all.
With the G having some factory tint, will the same 43% sheet look darker on the car. Silly question, I guess it obviously will.
With Philly getting a 55 degree day on Monday, I realized do miss tint. Dropping her off tomorrow!

my white 2010 G37xS was tinted today. I posted the pics and info in my intro thread which is/will be an accumulated thread regarding progress with this car.
but I wanted to post the info and images here, in this dedicated tint thread, so it can help tint shoppers.
My taste for window tint is unique. I don't like it blacked out.
So between my taste in appearance and my desire to keep the resale value of the car high, I didn't go very dark. Today I had the windows tinted with Solar Gard 50%.
My philosophy is a bit different from the typical window tint customer, I realize that.
Different strokes - for different folks.
The G has a bit more factory tint than a typical car or I would have gone with my usual 43% Solar Gard.
I took a lot of pics at various angles. The angle and sunlight make a huge difference when looking at pics of tinted cars.

It's fairly obvious who tinted the car
SunSational Window Tint Company
610-277-4344
They are a medium size operation in Bridgeport, PA about 3 miles from King of Prussia and 1 mile from Norristown. They are VERY good. I dropped off the car at 830am and picked it up at 2pm. It looks fantastic. Best tint job I've ever seen and I've had about 8 cars tinted over the years myself. They also do vinyl.
If you go/call them, tell Al (owner) or Danielle (office mgr) that I sent you -Ryan the paper guy. The price for this car was $250.00. Which in other parts of the country, may sound high. But around here, that is a pretty good price for a QUALITY sedan job. Lifetime warranty (film and installation).
These pics were at 2pm in some pretty decent direct sunlight. Sunroof closed, sunroof shade open:

At this point the car is parked at dusk. The sunroof shade is still open. Sunroof closed. No direct sunlight on the car:

thx man. I thought the same thing. it's really 50%!
I was going to go with my standard 43% but I knew with the factory tint being decent, it would be too dark for ME. appreciate the kind remark. cheers.
