Thread: window tint

  1. #1

    Default window tint

    Well finally went through with it..

    front window is a 6 inch 5% tint strip(illegal)
    triangle windows are 10%(illegal.. legal is 35)
    sides are 25%(legal is 35)
    rear is 5%(legal lol)

    I would have gone 5% all around but I am moving to Springfield misery... I mean Missouri and the police station is right behind my house literally

    the front strip is almost 1/2 my window lol

    I payed 180 out the door I am going to have them redo the triangle windows because they did a bad job but the others look good

    Looks good, i didn't do a front tint strip because it is half the window and it would bother me too much.

    Looks good - I like the front strip, but it does take up a little too much of the windsheild. I just picked mine up from the tint place and I can already tell a HUGE difference in the interior temps - whew!

    Earmark did mine today for $175 out the door. That included their highest-grade metalized film all around and a lifetime nationwide warranty. Mine's all at the legal limit, with nothing on the windshield. I made an appointment on Saturday, dropped it off this morning, and picked it up at lunch.

    Moon Shadow in Garland always did me a good job.

    As for the visor strip, I put 35% on mine after trying out 5%. I found that 5% is way too dark if you drive at night.

    Looks nice actually, I like it. That front strip would come in handy on my drive home around 6 or 7.

    I did the opposite and peeled all the tint off my windows. It looked funny with the plastic window, and they were so scratched up I could barely see out of them. Now with this heat I had wished I left it on...

    Man I'd love to live that close to the police station. That would be even safer than having neighbors with what looks like a dog fighting operation in their back yard (it's not, they're good people, nice dogs, but 2 rotwiellers and a pit, don't think anyone's going anywhere near their place)

    Although i'd probably have to put a front license plate on, and bring them donuts every now and then.
