blue/green tint vip fad?

Hey guys I had posted this thread before but a mod deleted all my post and threads and because I didnt come back in time i didnt see my replies. So here goes with the thread.

I've been noticing a trend of green/blue tint on vip cars in japan what are people thoughts on this mod as im thinking of doing it to my vip car that i am in the process of doing.

Is your vip car awesome yet? or is stock height with a Tsuna and Fusa?

It's not really a fad, coloured tint have been around for ages.

It's a project so it's not finished yet but thinking about doing it down the track

I'll prob be going green tint on mine shortly...once it gets closer to summer. Just need to make sure my local tint guy can order it for me.

It wasn't cool to me in the 90s on lobo F150s, and it's not cool on some Japanese guy's LS/Q in Japan IMO.

But on the right car, i am sure it can be pulled off, just would look better to me with no tint or old fashioned black

the point is to recreate the high end euro glass. looks sick on some cars, ok on others. far from a fad though, vip cars have been doing ever since the euros started coming with colored glass.

Hold off on trippy tint until you you've got the car to pull it off. Stock car with green tint looks like shit.

I like the colored tint...

i did jdm glass, they come more green than the usdm ones.

i had llumar air 80 blue all around on my lexus and it looked cool. not like oem mercedes glass, but cool in its own way.

How effective was it in regards to blocking out UV rays?

IIRC I think it's actually better than the standard charcoal tint. It reflects the light/UV more so than diffuses it like traditional charcoal tint does.

so does anyone have a source for this stuff or not?

i emailed 3m and they said since i 'live' in japan they can't answer my question as to if they make it...  they told me to email the japanese office.  guess what language the japanese office speaks¿  guess what language i can speak?

I love it.  99% UV but of course heat reduction is limited because its just about clear.

yes, speedaddict is right -- 99% UV. it has the same heat rejection percentage as llumar's basic limo tint though, which is ridiculous since it's basically clear

Any of y'all have pics?

Lol that sucks, just lie and say you're in the states.

i got air80 blue tint on my car

Llumar cut us off because air 80 was the only film that we were buying. Lol 3m crystalline 70 is better anyway. Better heat rejection. Less blue

[QUOTE=lowlyfey34;486348]i got air80 blue tint on my car[/QUOTE]

Any pics? How do you like it compared to to regular charcoal/black tint?

My reaction to the first photo:  "That's what I'm talkin' about, son!!"

My reaction to the second photo: "Ehhhh..  A little too blue.."

So where can we get this tint????

Do you have photos of your tint?

[QUOTE=speedaddict;486181]99% UV but of course heat reduction is limited because its just about clear.[/QUOTE]

So it is 99% UV protection but since it is clear'ish blue, its limited heat reduction?  Sorry, I'm lost.  

Since it is clear'ish blue, does it do a good job with UV protection as well as a dark tint, say 35%?

well it gets chromey blue when direct sunlight hits it....looks pretty dope IMO. lol

UV protection and heat reduction are 2 different things.  Because the tint is not dark, it will not reduce heat as much.

Ah!

I did SunTek Light Blue back in... 2004? Rick @ SunDial did it for me.
Can't tell you much about UV rejection, the car is never driven anymore.  But I still have it.
I don't even notice that it's blue.

hmm okay.  Take it out on a sunny day this summer and let us know how well it blocks out UV.  

I look retarded with a farmers tan that is darker on one arm than the other.

wish I could afford BBK...
in blue would really compliment my tint and set the car off, oh well

That suntek hp50 blue tint is pimp. I might have to do that to my car

I'm not sure where you can find it though..

where did you get it done?

I can do it for you. Don't stock hp50 due to weak performance compared to crystalline or Llumar air blue but can order a roll. 

Xact window tinting

Give me a call for more info. My name is Eddie (nacho)

The best film on the market is by Llumar. Its called Air Blue 80. I'm sure there is a dealer in your area. [url]http://northamerica.llumar.com/[/url]
Its about twice as much as regular tint but looks fantastic. I did all my windows including the windshield.

what about green where can i get that vip green or that stuff at the japanese auto shows, looks like mirrored brownish charcoal colored???

Have any pics? I only ask because my car's glass had a greenish/charcoal colored glass from the factory.

agree -- i'd do a double layer on the Q. i had a single layer on my LS600h -- best film ever

there were some in this thread on a black LS460/600 i took at the osaka auto show last year.  i asked the team of like 5 suited guys that were representing the company that made the car and not a single one knew where or what the tint actually was.

it is in here somewhere but there are like 400 photos, let me check

^ That looks very reflective (mirrored) tint. Would likely bring lots of unwanted attention from local law enforcement.

dude, i live in japan...  i could put giant pink wings with neon lights on the side of my car and no one would care  ;)

but seriously though it is hit or miss out here.  certain mods they don't like, but tint is not one they stress over here since we live on a tropical island that regularly hits 100 degrees in the summertime with 100% humidity (okinawa)

100 F??

they have these kind of tints on every car in Taiwan. We need to find a supplier out there..
