Atlantis Blue Photo Thread

[allenyao09]

Hi @allenyao09 and @Pdl2thmdl I noticed you're both in Seattle. I just brought my Emira up to Kirkland from So Cal. Just learned about ELCC (Evergreen Lotus Car Club). They're having their monthly get together in Redmond at Three Lions Pub at 7pm tomorrow, I'll probably bring my car over and join them. Would love to see you there too!

Didn't see this until now lol. But 7 PM is not gonna work for me either. Would love to meet up some time. Is ELCC a facebook group or something?

www.elcc.org Seems to be one of the oldest Lotus clubs in the Seattle area. Not that big as I understand, about 60 or so members, with about 20-30 cars showing up for their driving tour events. $25/yr to join. Looking for any and all clubs I could join to go on some local tours to explore the area. Also just found out about this, alas gonna be too far of a trek for me and can't spare the time. But looks awesome: https://westcoastlotusmeet.com/

My Atlantis arrived last week and I’ve been debating tint %. What’s on yours?

My Atlantis arrived last week and I’ve been debating tint %. What’s on yours?

Nice congrats.

Got ceramic as keeps out heat

I did 70% on front windshield (yes front) to protect dash and in state of Texas is legal.

Did legal tint I think 30% on driver and passenger side. You could go darker to 20% if you want it to match the 2 small back windows but risk having to take it off to pass inspection in 2 years

There's a separate tint thread where some of us Atlantis Blue folks posted pics (below). I think it depends on if you got the factory tint and your preferences on privacy and looks. Definitely get ceramic for the heat resistance properties.

I do not have the upper black pack or factory tint, and my choices were either 25 or 50%, I went with 50% for the inside rear and all side windows. I left the engine glass untinted. In the sunlight you can see through just fine but during overcast or lower light it looks very dark. Kind of an interesting dynamic, I really love it.

To tint or not to tint? 😎

Hey Guys I have a nimbus with tan interior with black wheels. I aways kinda wanted a classy "gentleman's" sportscar look. But I cannot decide if I like tinting or not. I had it done (35%), and sometimes I feel it has too much of an aggressive look on the car. Its also tricky with the dot...

Thanks for the feedback (and pic). I’ve opted for 50% ceramic.

I’ve also been debating 70% front ceramic. You’ve been happy with that I presume? (I know Texas can have another level of summer heat)

Yes very happy. I got it in the summer, saved the dash and heat. No issues and can’t tell it is on, but I think of it this way if you’re planning to keep the car for many years, then it’s worth the investment.

I think I plan to keep mine forever, so 20 or 30 years of having the sun beat on the dash would be terrible but with the ceramic front tint , I won’t have to worry.

I have 70% on my windshield too! Happy my interior is protected from fading and keeps the interior extra cool. It's a noticeable difference!

Added bonus of rainbow effect in photos taken with polarizer/ND filter. Lotus has XPEL on windshield and PPF on headlights. GTI has tint on side glass only.

Appreciate the observation - it’s a keeper for me as well.

My Atlantis arrived last week and I’ve been debating tint %. What’s on yours?

I had 15% on the side to match the privacy glass and 50% on the front windshield. But I eventually had the front windshield tint removed since the shop messed up multiple times...
