OK I'm sure it was not mirror tint. This is mirror tint:













This is more like what he had. Apparently, it comes in different levels and his looked to be about 30%:

Can someone shop some light mirror tint on this pic?

I think there is a reason I don't see anyone in the scene using it but if you want to try it have someone ps it for you.

Nevermind I got it as best I could. I like it and if it looks similar to this, I will be the only Z rocking it. I've never been one to care what people think about my cars in person because I tend to mod tastefully.

I think the tint you're looking for is called "Silver Tint". It's more silver than anything. I had it on one of my cars before. I don't think it looks "ricey" at all. You could ask the shop if they could put up a pre-cut piece to your window and see how it looks before they actually put it on.

yo phreak! I think that you should just do a reg tint bro! u have a SICK custom color and i think they tint would take away from it! Ur car is soo hot I cant wait to see it when it's repainted! are you coming to the OC Carshow this year?

I think you should go for it...as far as the taillights, why not go w/ the jdm tails??

This car pulls them off perfectly (i'm normally NOT a fan of them)...but w/ that color + that window/silver tint, it could really tie things together. Just a thought

I'll try to make it there tomorrow. I have a lot to do so maybe not til next week.

Thanks goof. If this car turns out the way I want it to, I will be showing it. Gotta get the meat and potatoes out of the way though.


That Z is so raw. I'm just not looking to drop more money into appearance than I have to right now, because boost is my next priority when I get the car back. How much do they go for used?

When my Prelude was carbon gray pearl, I had my tint 35% platinum and 20% black behind it. It was pretty damn awesome

The light silver tint is nice, but mirror is really south of the border.

I wouldn't do it, I have never seen it executed well... I think it will detract from the overall look of your car

I think it's too bright and throws off the look of a car.

I think you could pull it off considering paint and all, it never hurts to be different. If you no likey Peel and go with something different.

Think about it...it´s like having chrome windows. You really can´t go wrong with dark tints...It just looks so nice..





and look..we all had dark tint..just looks good in every color..

verdict.

I think that looks pretty good.

Damn, I should have put up a poll.... I am actually taking into consideration everything you guys are saying. I really like the photochop I did, but there is not guarantee it will look like that.

I think I need to go to the shop and have them do a 12" x 12" square and see how it looks. This place does mobile work, so maybe they can go to my body shop? I stopped by the body shop after work tonight to have a look and they had not started yet.

I have to make a decision on a hood tomorrow as well. Either I drive to Queens, NY to get a mint OEM for $150, to North Jersey to get a mint OEM for $300, or buy a used a carbon fiber VIS Fusion from a member halfway across the country (which will be painted except for the vents) for $475...

Decisions, decisions...
