I think I've decided on the the Tint
 

I think Formula One Pinnacle 30 (NOT 35, 30) Ceramic would look seriously awesome. Here are pictures of a likeness of my future Scion, and then of the Pinnacle (before and after on a Mercedes). You think this will fit the car?

Pretty hard to tell from a picture, plus tint is usually something only the owner of the car can decide. All we can suggest is too light/dark.

I know with 20% on my car right now, I'll never be doing that again. I absolutely love it but it makes me look like a drug dealer and parallel parking can be a pain even after rolling down all my windows.


Are there are any particularly better brands of tint/film? I know my local shop uses LLumar and it looks great to me:iono:

Yup, that's why I decided on the Pinnacle 30. It's the absolute lowest I can go to conform to state legal limits. I'm lucky that I live in a state that recently lowered our tint requirements to 24% for all windows (except windshield). So this 30, with the factory tint should be perfect. I think this is one of the two best ceramics out there. This and the Huper Optik 30. I like the color of Pinnacle better. I got a quote for install of $300, which I think I'm willing to do for the quality of this ceramic.

Pinnacle is great. I will be going with this exact same tint.

whos joel and dan?

Considering how much good tint costs, I like to keep it legal so I won't have to peel it off.

I just found that picture in the pictures section. It's representative of the color of mine, so I put it here.

I really like 3M's tint. I'm kinda under the legal limit at 50F but the rears are 35 and look Clean from outside and easy to view from inside.

This time around No tint for me ...
I had LIMO dark tint on my windows ...
it might make me look cooler ..
but my night time visibility out the rear is horrible at night.

Definitely getting some tint once I get my FR-S. I think 30 is still the legal limit here, but in GA they like to flip flop and make money on the swap....had limo initially in my last car then they changed the requirements a few months later.

I never really had too much issue with limo being too dark and afterwards 30 just seemed way too light; I preferred people not being able to see what's in the car.

In CT I believe it's 35% but with the factory tint, if you want to be legal you have to go with 50

I was going to go with 25% just enough to look legal but slightly darker.

debating if i go with legal tint on this car. i made it about 7 years in ohio with 22% on the front. i finally got stopped like 100ft from my apartment complex last fall. legal for ohio is 50% on the front and the back has no limit.
