    If you don't drive your R8 at night a lot, you should definitely get tint. But IMO I think you should keep the engine bay clear.

    Oh and let's see some pics

    Re: r8 tint question

    I would say don't tint the engine bay because its sick to see the engine. But tint the sides. I love my 5%s

    Re: r8 tint question

    I'd go with fusion and say a light tint would look good.

    Also, just a small heads up...as you saw on your last thread, this forum is chalk full of haters. Don't let em get the best of you...show them up by being the bigger man and not stooping to their level.

    Again, huge congrats on the R8. Wish my uncle had spent more time studying in college and less time on the peyote...maybe he'd throw me a nice gift or two, haha

    Re: r8 tint question

    Here is a couple of pics maybe it will give you some ideas. I went with 20% all round. I drive it at night all the time, and I have not had any problems with the back window. Dont do the window behind the seats. I would think that would back the back window really dark.

    Re: r8 tint question

    yea man i read that other thread and like the others said, there are a ton of dbags that post. like who are they kidding, of course any sane individual would take an R8 if one was afforded them. i thought i was lucky with my Breitling when i graduated college, and the fact that my parents helped me out with the S4 a few years ago haha. keep it clean and stay safe. and do a light tint on the window above the engine bay or leave it tint free, the engine looks ill through the glass
