Have an appointment to have my absolute white to be tinted all around except the windshield, however now getting second thoughts. Can i have some thoughts on how the supra looks with tint or without?

Living in California, you must tint, and do the windshield too. 3M Crystalline is very good but Hüper Optik Ceramic is better (I've had both). Great thing about them is they are more effective than cheaper darker tint film and are more durable. Still, 3M can fade and scratch whereas Hüper Optik won't. I am having my Supra tinted with Hüper Optik Ceramic next week.

I usually have my tint guy do all my cars with Pinnacle but on the Supra, I decided not to do it. I passed on clear bra as well.

Mainly because my Supra is a garage queen so 100% of the time the car is parked indoors, only driven a few times a month, and I like to see the interior while I admire the car without opening the doors.

Also, even the very best tint job can end up with very minor imperfections which I prefer not to have on my garage queen.

I tint all of my vehicles. Looks much better and definitely helps on the hot days. Went 25% on the Supra, no windshield tint, I like to be able to see clearly at night.

I always enjoy tint. The heat rejection is provides is great in the summer plus I really think it helps with the look of the car. I did 35% on the sides and rear.

In person how dark is 35%? Can you still see inside?

I would tint it but then if I get pulled over I would be getting a no tint ticket and no front plate ticket. No need to give the man a bigger reason to pull me over..

No tint if your keeping your car forever, your tint will bubble and look like crap and will be a pain and mess to take off. And if you ever sell your car, new owner may not want tint
Some tint shops offer lifetime warranty.
