Tint
 

It appears in WA that I can tint all my windows (allowing 35% light....big props for posting that stuff in 'legall). Anyway, anyone out there recommend a brand or place to buy tint? Any tips on intall? Thanks

call around to some tint-shops in your local area and have them give you a quote on an install

Don't do it yourself. Just take it in and let a pro do it. They will offer a lifetime garauntee against bubbles, fading and so on.

Some of the cheaper tint jobs will only last you a few years before they start to bubble and fade. If you plan on keeping your car for more than a few years, get a quality job that gives you a lifetime guarantee. Or you can plan on spending more money in a few years to remove the tint ($$$) and re-tinting the car.

prices...
 

Thanks for the input guys? What kind of price should I be lookin' at for my 4dr?

damn, 35%?

NY law.........70% of light....................that's like nothing.

70?! Damn! Do you get pulled over if you're wearing sun glasses?

It's not all about seeing out, it is so authorities can see in as well.

As for a full tint on a 4 door I would say $200-$250

i would say the hell with it and get 5%

i got all 5 windows tinted on my coupe for 150 w/life time warranty

sedan should round up to 200-220 for a fair price. if over... :susp:

^^^ u got a good deal on it
yea I'd say 200~230 is a fair price for a sedan.
(they'll price ask u a lot first, but don't forget! Window tint prices are always OBO!!)

if u ever get pulled over put down all the windows

When you guys get them installed, do the installers do it over the middle rear brake light?

Because to do that they would have to take out the back seat I think just to get to it, and my friend tinted his s4 and he had to remove the back dash for them.

( I just don't like the look of a completely tinted rear window, except for the brake light)

I drove around until I found a guy that would tint the rear light. Everyone else said they could not or would not and this one place aid no problem. I told him he would have to remove the rear seats and all to do it and he said, "That is what I get paid by the hour for." So that was cool.

i didnt remove my rear deck, nothing at all... they tried their best and prob like 4-5 small bubbles on the tint but its no biggie to me. its not noticeable unless you go up to my car n look hard enough to find them.

i got a quote for $165 to tint my coupe. That includes tint across the 3rd brake light AND a black vinyl strip to cover the top of the rear window, since the tint doesn't look good across the "dots", and if you stop at them, there's a line. The vinyl covers it up. Im hoping to get it done soon.

i just got my coupe tinted, back 3 windows, $150 ($161 after tax) they didnt cover the brake light, and it did come w/ a vinyl strip across the top in the back..

^back 3 windows for $161, didnt cover 3rd brake light... :tdown:

does it at least come with lifetime warranty? what kinda tint is this?

I had my car done at my uncle's place, of course for free...and some of my friends paid around 100 to 120. When he was tinting my car windows, he used a plastic comb looking knife to get near the rear brake light area. And I had windows tinted for little over 3 years and no problem. But he said it normally cost around 200 bucks.

Got my sedan tinted all around @ 5% including lifetime warranty and windshield strip, total cost was 140 cash

yeah... the tint i have that covers the "dots" annoys the hell out of me. it sucks that you can't cover "every" little hole and from an angle you can see it. :hithead: having the vinyl covering it up is a good idea :tup:

does anyone have a pick of the vinal? I am having trouble picturing what it might look like.

In MO we can only have 35% on the driver and passenger windows but the back windows could be 5 or even 2.5%. But alot of the kids at my school have like 20 or even 5% all the way around, excluding windshield ofcorse.

In VA it's 50% on the driver/passenger, and 35% rear of that. But, as with most things in this world, with enough money, you can get anything past inspection.

dam..i only paid 105 for titanium black tint and a lifetime warranty. but hten again i ddi it with 5 of my friends

any one know the % tint of our sun roofs?

LLumar makes some good tint. I just had my coupe done for 155 bucks, lifetime warrenty.

i got 5% everywhere cept the windshield i just got a strip, im taking off my tints though, i might get 20;s but i doubt it....i might as well just get rid of em, i cant see with them....i cant see out ...at all!! waste of my money in my opinion...just dont get em too dark..doh! im a moron....

i just got a quote from a very reputable shop today... $90 for 50% on the driver/passenger windows, with 35% on everything behind that (legal limits in VA, i hate my state). However, he can do 20% all around (minus windshield, of course) for $140. I dont know if I'm going to do 20% or 35% all around; ive never seen either but the owner has the 50/35 on his car, so I'll make my decision once I see that. I just dont want it so dark that I can't see/get pulled over by cops a lot.

My car has factory tint, looks good for now, but I found guy who will do limo, solarguard or something, he has different colors and everything, tons of ish. 150 for all windows, plus he will drive to wherever I am, and comes with lifetime warranty. If anybody in Phx needs a tint guy, let me know, ill give you a #.
