Default Tint shop wrapped my top

Went back today to my local Shop and had her wrapped... Went with matte black, not a fan of glossy IMO matte looks better, and Im not planning on going CF anywhere else on the car so matte made sense! Shes coming along slow but sure IMHO.. Wrap + 15% all around tint on the Brilliant silver

Looks good. Very well done. I just got the roof wraped in gloss black and I think it ties in well with the 5% tint. Looks like one big sheet of glass!! Vinyl gloss black on platinum graphite is the only way to go!!

The gloss is definitely nice.. I went matte though, and definitely dig the look.

How dark would I have to go on the sides in order for the car next to me not be able to see me?

5%... however its also going to be a PITA for you at night when your parallel parking or anytime you need to see anything from your side mirrors other than headlights. I have 15% and it's plenty dark. But if you don't want anyone seeing in then 5% is your number.

Got some to hide Joe? Please note that the 1% tint on the car didn't make a difference, he still got busted
