SHR flush mount louvers with tinted windows?

Hey guys, I'm going to get my windows tinted and then I was considering getting the SHR flush mount louvers. My question is, will they look weird since it seems that the glass on the SHR louvers looks untinted? I only ask because it seems like you can actually see through the SHR louvers. Any advice on this?

Can't they tint the inside of the plexi-glass?

Don't worry about it. From the outside, you can't tell, and from the inside, you don't see much anyway.

1st, the SHR louvers do have some tint in the Lexan blend. However, that's not something that will ever be noticed.

Just wanted to check and make sure. I've seen pictures from the inside where it seems like you can actually see a good bit out of them, at least compared to most louvers.

You can see out of them fairly well. The thing is, with the rest of the windows tinted, not that much light shines from the interior out through the louvers, so from outside the look tinted just like all of the rest of the windows.

Gotcha. And just as a reference, how much are your windows tinted? I'm torn between 35% and 20% right now...

I think 30 on the fronts and 15 on the rear. 15's way too dark for me. Personally, I wouldn't go any darker than 30. My pics above were taken on a very sunny day making the tint look lighter than it is, especially in the 2nd pic where the light is shining through the untinted windshield.

Yeah, I don't want a limo tint by any means. I think the 35% will be fine, but I read some stuff saying it's not too noticeable...so that's why I've been wavering.

They are definitely tinted and are close to the tint on my side windows , not sure what % is on them but it's less than my rear window. I think if your windows aren't tinted they would stand out more ...
