Default Just bought a new 04 6speed need some tint help!!

Just got into a new 6speed coupe without nav of course for 25000 after everything! I am getting tint put on which was included but i need some help on what to get.

It is nighthawk black 6 speed. Oh they threw in the mudflaps too.

I guess i got lucky because the car was only sitting on the lot for 4 days it now has 30 miles on it. Cant wait to break it in.

So send me some picks of your nighthawk black and recommend me a tint percentage

thanks

Look at some cars with tint that you like, ask the owners what percent and color it is. I have black as well, and I have 35% all around in a charchoal grayish color, I like it.

Go with 20% all around, that seems to blend the best with the NBP.
