Window Tint

Hey everyone,

I am finally going to get my windows tinted this weekend. I am getting the all 5 windows done. So what I wanted to know was what % tint should I use. I want a dark look (kinda like what you see on BMW's that have all 5 tinted), but I don't want to run into problems with the police!

Can you guys let me know what you used, and if you have pictures that show how dark it is that would be very much appreciated. I am probably going to get it done tomorrow.

Cheers
Randy Daly

Randy,

On the back 3 you can get them tinted as dark as you want. On the side ones your not aloud (legally) to have anykind of tint at all. Just get them done and when ever you see a cop roll down your windows...

That's kinda the plan! But I don't want them so dark I can't see out them at night. I might go with a lighter grade all the way around, but still making it look tinted.

go 18% back 3, then 35% or 50% for the front 2. 18% is just pefect for the back windows, not too dark, and you can see fine at night.

I think kartoyz gives out lifetime warranty. Why don't you bring it back and let them fix it.

Tinting

Well if you want your windows tinted, I would suggest the guy that I used. He was great. The name of his company is Ozone Layer tinting, his name is Cesar. Off the top of my head I don't have the number, I'll post it with some pics of my car tinted tonight when I get home from work.

I went with a 20% tint all around (5 windows). It looks sweet in my opinion. It is not too dark that I can't see out, but dark enough that all you can see is a silouette.

Cesar uses Sungard film, and offers a lifetime warranty on his film. The best part about him, is he comes to you. You make an appointment with him and he'll come to your house to do the tinting. It cost me $180.00 for all 5 windows.
