Window Tint On Storm Bay Metallic

Has anyone tinted their windows on their vehicles with this color? If so, could you post some pictures? Thanks

Window tint on Storm Bay

Here are a couple of pictures. Worth mentioning the car has these little dots on the edge of the window side that don't look great with tint but small issue

Thanks. Looks great. Is that 35% all around? Regarding "the dots" are you referring to the "C" pillar windows with a matrix effect?

Window tint

Yes 35% tint. I am referring to the “textured” effect on the glass part which I think is to create a surface that glides better against the rubber gasket on the body b and c pillars

What are your thoughts on the black spoiler on the back? I think I would have preferred that it matched the color of the car.

love black spoiler

the black spoiler, mirrors and trim under doors I really like it as it makes the car look sportier in my opinion. May not be for everybody by I think the contrast looks really good on Storm Bay paint color


Open and happy to hear what everyone else thinks??

And the black has to be a heap easier to keep clean than the Cerium Grey

I'm thinking of tinting mine, but am concerned about those dots, as well. I had factory tints on my previous car. I'm a bit worried about aftermarket tints bubbling up.

Same issue here with the dots, quite unsightly up close
