Solar Gard HPTint - Colors???

Sup everyone

I'm looking into getting my windows tinted and i found a place that uses solar gard hp tint. my car is black and im looking to find the color that will look the best on my car.

my options are: true grey, charcoal, titanium, bronze and quantum.

anybody have a good experience with any of these?

thanks!

Without seeing pics of said color, I cannot vouch for any of them.

i have the quantum one...20% all around and 50% on windshield...i like it




the quantum got this greenish/grayish look but looks black at night. just depends on angles i guess. it looks black most of the time and gray/green when cloudy. honestly i love this type of tint a lot i had it on my old car too haha

Front windshield tinted as well? How can you see at night? Isn't that illegal? Thats something I want to do but wasn't sure how I would see.

Yes, it is illegal to have the entire front windshield tinted. HID lights, which helps a little at night. A friend of mind had 20% all around and its hard as hell to see at night....not safe

100% would be clear. 50% is half of 100%. Saying this, seeing out windshield is 50% dimished.

honestly you can't really tell the difference lol most of my passengers didn't even notice my windshield was tinted until i told them lol it's not hard to see out at all...maybe cuz i'm use to it tho...i was worried when i first got it on my other car but then when i got the maxima with no tinted windshield everything seem so bright and annoying so i had to tint it again =/ a car's tint job is never complete until you do the windshiled too

the only problem i am having right now with having the windshield tinted is that in VA we have these stupid inspection stickes on the inside of the windshield and the inspector can only put them on and remove them. when he removes them he uses a razor blade.

Since I own a Sunlit Sand, I chose to go with a 20% bronze tint. Looks real good under bright sunny days, but looks dark smoked any other time. I get a lot of compliments. I like it. Check out my homepage for pics.

I vote titanium (which I'm assuming is silver) or charcoal (standard "black). I've got a platinum tint and like it.
