i need to decide if i want to tint my windwos or leave them clear. i have a 91 z with pearl white paint and blackouts on the taillights. also chrome rims would tinted windows look better or not. also im going to touch up a wreck up front and i need to know what looks better, a nice glossy black headlight pockets or paint over them in pearl white??????? please help im so confused!

 

i definitely say tint. just got mine done at 18% with a fairly reflective tint and i like it more. if your car is pearl white, i think it would look better with the head light area the same color rather than black, in my opinion.

 

painting your pockets the same color is reminiscent of a cheaper model..........but, you should do what you like.

personally i like the black pockets not because it's the way to identify the z's and the irocs; but because it breaks up the front end a bit giving it character.


as far as tint...i have double limo and while i like it for shows i kind of wish that i would have went with a mild combo like 35% sides and 20 rear. o well....:lala:

 

tint looks tight on a white car. go for it!

 

Blackout the headlight pockets I had mine white for a long time and it looked boring to me.

 

id say the exact opposite, my pockets were white b4, then i painted them black, and after a couple of weeks i went back to white i think it looks alot cleaner, jest my 2 cents, oh btw definetly tint the windows! it looks great on white cars for sure

 

I painted mine body color just so it looks like a RS in the rearview mirror. I like having a slow car that looks even slower

As for the tint, I would do all the windows in 35%.

 

nah do 5% in the back, it will compliment the blackouts nicely

 

I would tint the windows and paint the headlight pockets black.

 

i wouldn't go 5 % on any window with a daily driver....pita to see anything after sunset. looks sweet, but you pay for it.


and just like mike said, if you want others to think its an rs then paint them solid color.

 

i did my pockets and my hood vents in high gloss and also cleared them. they look killa that way......

 

thanks for all the input guys im defenitly gonna tint my windows 35 all the way around just for vision reasons. now a new question.......what you guys think about buying another set of hood blisters (junkyard) and painting them black? good contrast and something unique maybe? just lemme know if this just looks like total crap!

 

i dunno man ive never seen it done but just picturing it in my mind, i dont think it would look that good, you could possibly have some1 photoshop some black blisters on there to see what it would look like

 

definately tint htem mine is silver and i got dark black tint i also blacked out my running lights and will be doing the tails soon.

 

howbout instead of painting the pockets black, try the tinted headlight covers. Anyone have those on a white camaro?? I have a White 92 Rs and was thinking of doing that. Would be nice to see whta it would look like 1st though.


mitch

 

i have to say that the headlamp pockets painted body color make the car look more clean and slick.....also i think tint would be a real great thing to add
