So I did some searching and found only a few tinted eldo's! I want to get my black on black eldo tinted but would like to see some pics, So Post Em' Up!
Please. Anyone got the tint with half mirrored tint? I had it on a Silver car and it looked nice but not sure with a black car that aready is kinda-chromey.
Was thinking of 30-35%, what do you guys think?

20 percent all around except for windshield. And not get off topic but ETC1997 have you found any more black wood grain steering wheels?

Thanks for the pics guys! Keep Em Comming! Eldo's are the best looking cadillacs made in my opinion, SHHHH, dont tell the deville and seville guys! Its our secret! Now I see the potential []D [] []v[] []D status you can acheive with a tricked out eldo. Man its hard to decide, 20 or 35.....cop would probably let me be with 35, but damn 20 just looks badass! hmmmm they make 30% right?

I don't know what % tint mine is, it was already done when I bought the car in Florida. The sun is shining through the windshield in this pic, it's alot darker then it looks.

20 percent is fine as long as the sun is out. But when it is overcast or rainy it looks limo and thats when i get pulled over. Next time i am doing 30 percent.

I called the local tint shop, they wanted about $185 to tint my car. The only thing that tempted me was that they have a lifetime warranty on thier work, but from my experiece tinting my mustang windows, if you do it right you'll never have to repair it! So Im gonna save $150 and tint it myself. With the money Ill save I could buy alotta beer and make a day out of it!

So Im thinkin 20 on the rear and rear sides and 35 on the doors. Think that would look ok? or should i go with 20 on doors also? Anyone here tint thier eldo themselfs? Any advice?
Think these are the guys Ill buy from.

CadillacETC1997, you said you have factory on the doors and rear window.
Could you post a pic of your car with your windows up? Is factory 35%?
Im trying to see what mixed percentages would look like, on an eldo.

Thanks ETC! Im gonna go with the 35 on the doors and rear 20. The door windows(35) will hopefully appear darker with the darker rear and black int.

Ill post up pics when i get em tinted
