Just got my tint tonight!

Went legal (35%)...I live in a town that employs way too many cops with WAY too much free time. Would have liked to gone darker, but I'm getting too old to whip my windows down everytime I see a white Crown Vic.

Now for a few days of not rolling down my windows and watching for bubbles...but lifetime warranties are great!

35% is good, much safer at night. On my old car, I use to have 80% tints all around (including the windshield). Without streetlights, I almost felt that I'm blind

damn 35% is light as ****. If you like it thats cool. I personally like the dark stuff, thats why I have 5% all the way around.

LOL..

yeah, tints are weird tho.. I have 20%'s all around, sometimes they look like they're 40's, sometimes they let so much light through that they look like 1's

*shrugs*

Dark tints look horrible. Go with a lighter tint...looks much better.

Oh and congrats on the tint

I dont know what your talking about, dark tint looks bad ***. Expecially on silver cars, and dark silver cars. Even my car looks badass with 5% tint.

It's not bad...I'd have preferred 20%, but the cops here are vultures. It's a college town (2 universities and a tech school), and you can't go 6 blocks without seeing a squad car.

Course, now that we have a Krispy Kreme, maybe I could have just avoided that area of town.

Hey does anyone know how the lifetime warrenty works on tint? They say if theres any bubbles they will fix it, but in my case, I went to a LLumar installer and they said it wasn't covered under warrenty because it wasn't the tint, it was poor installation. WTF

^^ I also have Llumar... That place you got it from is bullshitting you. They should honor it.

Well you need to go back to the place you got the tint installed. You cant just go to any place and expect them to replace the tint. Even if they install Lumar tint.

Anyone here ever heard of Diamond Window films? I have lumar on right now and the place I went to before they used Diamond Nichrome film, it is really good film, just expensive. For that film, it is $299 for 35%. I paid $330 on my old car for 5% all the way around. And man, that film was the ****. It also came with lieftime warranty on bubbles, discolor, scrathces. everything.

So as the tint has been baking in the sun, all the bubbles are coming out, and it's formed very nicely to the window.

It even formed around a giant mosquito that got trapped between the tint and the window on the passenger side.

I did this:


The installer did this:

That window is getting re-done on Saturday.
