I think all these threads are a cunning ploy to get his name out there and photography business on the go(see watermarks)

Limo black tints arent the best imo, as mentioned before best to go with smoked glass all around if you are desperate to tint at all. But its subjective.

I think a nice smoke tints would work well on your car...

tints are personal taste.....but I think they be good on your Yaris

your car and all that ;-)

Some cars look good with light tints. The new BMW 5 M Sport does.
I'd never spec it if I bought new, and I would think twice about buying one with tints

I notice a lot of cars have them now, are you a fan of them?

I don't have it on my car and I don't think it needs to unless I am doing it for looks but part of me like to have it, but another part of me thinks it looks bad.

Then again, its not permanent and I don't think it's that expensive? It's just a sheet of plastic isn't it?

Are you a drug dealer? No!
Then don't fit tints.

They only suit specific types of cars and hatchbacks certainly aren't one of them.

If you really feel like revealing yourself of £150+ give it to me

.

Actually, just think about that for a second. £150 for what is effectively a sticker on your windows. Robbery!

depending on the car it can look very good. get some pictures of examples

He's got a Yaris. Not knocking the car at all, but it ain't going to suit 100% light reflecting gangsta tints no matter how you try and butter it up.

On a 4 door mid-large saloons = All day long.
On a 2 door coupes = Case by case basis.
On Anything else = Gay.
On a Hatchback = Full on Graeme Norton/Elton John hybrid gay.

Have you thought about privacy shades for the yaris, half the price of tints.

And those are so gay I actually cannot think of any particular word or phase to sum them up effectively.

I mean why? WHY!?

Its a slippery slope. First its the tints. Then the 30" sub. Then its lowering springs and then BAM! You're in a McDonalds car park blasting dub-step in your hatchback made of 83% fibreglass and surrounded by under aged teenage girls.

...

Actually, that doesn't sound too bad as it goes

What's wrong with dubstep?

I have to quote my 14 year old brother on this:

'It sounds like R2D2 being anally raped'

They're quite useful at cutting glare on rear monitors.
Good when you're watching TV or a DVD

Your 14 year old brother needs to be educated in that case

I have tints, a 12" sub, lowering springs and like Dubstep.

I don't spend Saturday night in McDonalds carpark, don't have a hatchback made of 83% fibreglass (I have a saloon made of 20% filler and 50% rust

) and have a 22 year old girlfriend (I'm 25).

Best of both worlds
