Actually the black line of the moulding looks good with that. If you got black mouldings. . . Hmmm.

Funny I just removed the tint from my side windows. I hated the look on my white 951, the MTV / Getto look, not the look for a porsche. A nice 10-15% on the side is fine anything over that looks silly IMHO.

If you live somewhere like Florida, Ca., AZ, Texas, it's just a good idea to tint the windows. The sun is brutal on interior materials, and when it's 100 degrees outside, it's well hotter inside. As has been said before, "It's only rice if it has nothing but a cosmetic value." Trust me. It helps a great deal in the blazing Florida summer. E

I love the look of tinted windows, especially on a black car. I will definitely get mine done. Maybe it's the FL girl in me.....

I'm using a 15% tint on all the windows and hatch.
I'm planning on tinting the windshield, for the sun is fading the paint coat on the radar detector, g-tech, and navigation system.
It was a good investment.

Hosrom, don't you have the 250lb Welt springs that lower the car 1.5 inches and then are you using a spacer? Looks nice.

Agreed, Hosrom how did you get the rear so low? I want the rear of my 951 to look like that!

5% limou....

what's more important is the reputation of the shop and what kind of warranty. finding a place to lifetime warranty 5% limou here in dallas was a little interesting when i also wanted a reputable shop. but i finally found one. been in business at the same location 20 years.

John, what percentage are your windows tinted, and what kind? I've got a white car also and was thinking of getting tint... The sun in Georgia can too be brutal :P
