I'm not the greatest photographer and the scenary is not as "picture perfect" as I've seen in other posts But, just wanted to show a few shots of my car with a tint I just recently got. This one is 35% all around. Yeah, I got front windows done too (kids in NJ, don't try that at home ) at my own risk. Its either all or nothing, otherwise it looks terrible with just back windows.

It seems that we can't attach multiple pictures in one post (at least I'm not able to do that ) so I will post a few replies back-to-back with all the shots.

and one more!!!

Depending on which angle you are looking from, front windows could be lighter or darker. BTW, I have a black interior, so thats also contributes to a tint

twister, I have TP too and I was wondering what color is your tint? Is it black? I was thinking of getting light blue for my TP, the same color BMW and MB usually tint their cars. Should I do that or just get the typical black color?

twister

Tint it black. I would not recommend you getting a blue tint. At least, BMW/MB I've seen with a tint doesn't really have a tint film, but rather a factory polarized glass (that light tint is "baked" into the glass). I don't think a light blue film on top of your windows will look good on TP. Just my opinion.

BTW, it was very tempting to go with a darker low percentage tint, but I wanted to keep front windows lighter so that cops can see a "driver" - me

thanks for the pics, I just picked my TP up today. On my previous auto, the tint had lines on the inside caused from the windows going up and down. It happened to all 4 windows and the dealer said it is the design of the car and the tightness down in the window well behind the panel. It was an Acura.

So, my question is this......have you seen any lines in your tint as of yet, caused by lowering the windows?

twister

That is a BS. Was dealer the one who installed the tint? Any reputable place with an experience will do a perfect job with a lifetime guarantee.

Either way, I had a tint on my previous car for 8 years ('98 Altima SE) and I have seen some terrible jobs on other Altima's. There is no problem in here. I did wait for 2 days before rolling the windows down. Also, it probably took a total of 3-4 days for all the moisture bubbles to disappear. Now, its perfect!!!

Just for the reference, the whole job here in Central Jersey cost me $190.

congrats bizarro bro. looks great! how long did it take to do the work? can you wait while they do it? Thats not a bad price at all....im tempted.

twister

The place where I got it done is really popular with luxury cars, and they do tinting only on Wed and Sat. Dropped it off in the morning, went with my wife and daughter to Sesame Place, and picked it up at the end of the day (I did it last Sat). I'm sure different places have different policies, just make sure they have been around for awhile and offer lifetime guarantee.

Nice looking car there, Twister. The tint really contrasts well with the silver.

PsychDoc

Very very sharp looking.

Great pics BTW.

This reaffirms my sense that tinting really does become a lighter color car.

And for under $200!?

Very nice deal there.

I've been reading tint on the detialing lexus club forums, and those guys are talking about ceramic tint that cost $400? is that worth it?

<VENOM>

Very nice, I drive around Jersey alot and I went with 15% all around, the next time I will do 5% in the back and 15% up front, and if I ever do have a problem with the cops I'll have my eye doctor write me a note

Tint is the last thing a cop will just write a ticket for but when and if you get pulled over just put the 2 front windows down, I have gone through several check points and never a problem

Price will vary but I perfer to pay more and have a good job then pay bargain prices, could you mention what place did it

Has anyone heard of using a special kind of tint material on cars with nav? A buddy of mine has nav in his car and the tint shop said they must use a tint with a certain kind of material. Anyone else heard this?
