anyone with Barcelona Red prius with tinted windows

tinting is darker in the rear windows than in the front (can't remember off the top of my head the % but i have it written down somewhere if you need it). this picture was taken just before sunset, the tint usually looks a lot darker during the daytime.

thanks! just looked up the numbers--it's actually 18% rear and 30% front. so you were really close.

we took the prius cross-country from maine back home to san francisco. we actually stopped in missouri to go up the arch:




well, no arch in the picture but that was in the parking lot!

 

Mine is Salsa Red but depending on lighting and who's camara they are close enough in color.




I'm sorry I don't remember which % tint is where but the rear windows are VERY dark and the front sides are basically CA. legal so they are lightly tinted but enough to not make too bad of a contrast from front to rear.

I agree and thanks! Nice pics by the bridge btw!

 

I went out and got a better shot of the car today. The front windows are definately noticable when the sun hits them directly but normally it's not such a drastic difference.

maine was really pretty. missouri not so much--no offense! the arch was fun though, and so was seeing the mississippi for the first time.

i can't imagine driving cross-country at 6-8 mpg! i normally have a yakima roof rack on my prius but i took it off for the cross-country trip because it sapped 3-5 mpg from my mileage--nearly as much as you were getting, total! at least you had a bathroom though--we had to stop frequently because my girlfriend has a small bladder!

so have you decided on tinting yours and if so, at what %?

 

Anyone tinted a black or a white Prius? I think that would look badass. Would you mind posting your pics here?

I would do a search and if you don't find any threads then post up a new thread and see if you get any takers.

I'm guessing the other red Prii with tinted windows just don't have pics. Ohh, IMO if you get the tiny windows by the dashboard tinted, do them dark like the back window. You rarely look out of them anyway and as you can see in my pic, they look kinda funny with just light tint.

 

New To PriusChat Here... I have a Barcelona Red with 5% Tint All Around... Check out my sig for links & more info... & photo album...

 

Yup!! Check mine out! Never been pulled over! 5% tint on all windows except the front windows are 50% and the windshield is 75%

 

I tried to upload another picture so you can see the side of the car since my profile picture is a front view but I can't upload it on from my iPhone sorry....

 

I think I got it to upload now. Can you see it?
