Ya I looked at them earlier today before I posted on here. They seem nice but I would like a darker color blue with a 20% if they make them.

I appreciate the help.

Put on a layer of blue tint and then a layer of regular tint... I would do a test section but I think it would look better then all blue tint in my opinion.

In my opinion blue tint (or red or green) do not look good by themself. Too light (probably why you are looking for a darker one) and I don't really see the point in it. I get my windows tinted because of the HOT New Mexico sun and for privacy.

What I am saying is put on the blue tint, and then put a second layer of regular black (% is up to you) tint. I do not know how it would look, never tried it or seen it, but I KNOW you can layer tint. It might give you a darker blue tint like you are looking for! Might not either... that is why I said you might want to test it and see how it would look. Worth a thought anyways...

That is what I'm saying.... Sounds like peckhamjusten wants a darker blue tint then the standard blue tint.... might be worth a try! I got a buddy that tints windows... I'll try giving him a call and see what he has to say.

Just an Idea, but you could also check with glass co.'s that do commercial buildings. I helped a guy years ago do his show truck with gold tint. We got the tint from a glass co. A little expensive, but heavy duty stuff.

i layer tint on my wifes windows. Put silver flames on then overlayed with black. Looks good but is a little hard to see out of it in the dark.
