To tint, or not to tint, that is the question

[GotTurbos?]

Vote my nukkas :biglaugh:

EDIT: to avoid any further confusion, Im talking about tinting the taillights, as seen below with my photoshop!

On such a clean car, id say either no tine and keep the windows squeaky clean or go with a REALLY light tint to simply add a little color to the windows. Dont go dark as it will take away from the car. A dark colored car tint can enhance its look, but on white ive always said that clear or super light tint looks killer.

tinted. or get jdm tails imo

yea, I kinda like the white/red theme on the rear of the car (red badges, 3rd brake light and taillights) so id have to tint and paint all of it to look right I suppose, IDK that widebody pearl white mk3 that someone posted earlier today made me photoshop this real quick to see what it would look like.

windows? :rofl:

guessed he missed the point of the chop? made me think still

No, leave it alone, i think it looks clean as hell non tinted, The tinted one kinda makes it look not as nice imho. SEXY ASS FUCKING CAR btw.

LOL..I read the question wrong. I thought he meant the windows lol. Id go for the tint, I may do the same. But if you do use tint spray or film, leave the turn signal "bars" stock, looks much better than tinting the entire assembly.

there is no question!
except for the title

I thought you would notice the pics and realize what I was talking about :biglaugh:

I think the tint enhances the look. The only thing is at night it would be shitty when you are going fast. None the less it would look hot on your ride! I have been thinking about doing all my windows too!!:arcadefre

i had a 25 percent wrap but at night i had a hard time seeing out my windows and almost backed up into a poll lmao, so i took it off and went with a light tint.

leave em alone

 

[theKnifeArtist]

yeah i'd say tint like 30% all around or so...cause it would keep the crappy interior from showing :-D

 

[RHDMK3]

Tint them badboys! Tint 'em good dammit! But when you do tint your front corners and your side ones as well. Or you could go all red, even on the turn signals. That might look kinda hot. Err, nevermind.. I say tint 'em.

IMO, those tails don't look all that great...

I would leave it just as it is...why mess with perfection?? :love: But if you must, just go JDM.

 

[born2drv]

ya those tail lights in the wide body look all scuffed up. I think tinted tail lights only look good on dark color cars, definately not white cars. and if you're going to get it tinted, get a super nice glossy finish on it, or it will look like garbage. do a search for glossy tail lights or something, there were some good pics i saw a while ago.

i have my tails tinted now.... they look good since my car is black, but i can't wait to get non-tinted ones... (i'm getting wolfie's clear turn signals put in some reconditioned lenses polished like new).

 

[tekdeus]

The absolute best tinting combo in my opionion is this: rear tails tinted slightly darker than JDM, evening out that damn mismatched middle lens. I'm gonna mask the clear turn lines for contrast.

For window tint: 50% front 2 windows, 30% rear 3. It's plenty dark from the outside but plenty safe to see out of from inside. Anything darker and you'll just end up either hitting something/someone one dark rainy night or getting heat from the fuzz.

I honestly dont know... tinting is something nice, but you can get 'over it' and if it isnt done properly God help you....

Not tinted is what rreally brings out your cars features I think, and I must say you have 1 sexy MKIII and love the rims.

The tint in your pic does look good, photoshopped if you can get that type of a finish woudl be good.
