Default Finally got my windows tinted!!

Over the weekend, went over to Tint Master in Canoga Park and got my car windows tinted. The final result!
(Car is a lease, so I can't really add any further modifications)
3M 30% front (not windshield), 20% the rest. Thoughts?







Thanks to IS NIICE for referring me to Tint Master. Quality work!

I like it better than my 35%/20% because there is less of a difference.

I have 18% back/rear, but I am getting 35% on the front windows next weekend. Your car looks great with the tint.

Very nice I went with 35 all around which is illegal but totally worth it.

technically any tint % is illigal.. even if it is a clear coat that is not tinted at all and the cop sees it he can give you a ticket. I talked to cops before and they say if you do something stupid they will ticket...but most of the time if you are not a douche they wont pay attention to you.

I got 20% all around..tell you truth wish i went 10% rear and 20% front..

from inside it is still light, and at night it doesnt look as dark as it does during the day..

But what i really want is the front windshield tinted to 35%...but that will get you pulled over even if you dont do anything stupid lol...

sigh..wish i had the money to pay off ticket after ticket...but that aint happenin..

i got black/black and the tint looks smoooth. I really like the silver color with tints though, the contrast is phenomenal.

love the choice bro!

Nice tint! I like my tint equally the same all around but they did a very good job. Lookin' good. You could add more mods, then part out when your lease is done

thanks for the comments everyone!
Car is noticeably cooler even if left in the hot sun for hours.
