Going any darker would raise the risk of unwanted attention from cops...not that the Ultrasonic Blue exterior won't raise any eyebrows

The strange thing about Huper Optik is that the darkness varies from different angles. And when it's an overcast day, your car will look pretty dark.
Yeah...I went to Song's Tint Masters...Thanks for the recommendation man!

Funny, I almost think it's too DARK for my taste...

Us Cali guys get fined big time for front tint now.
It's not a fix-it ticket any more.

And I like the ladies to be able to see me.

Overall I like the look of this tint. And, can't go wrong with Ultrasonic Blue!

Looks absolutely beautiful. I would have to respectfully disagree with some of the other members here that would have gone darker with the tint. I think that this gives the car the perfect balance not to much and not to little. I think that if the tint was really dark it draws the wrong kind of attention to the car and looks over done and not as classy. Plus as INHOCJP said it will look even darker on overcast days and the all black interior will also effect it.

Looks amazing

No problem. Don't forget to go back in a couple weeks for the touch-up on the dot-matrix area on the rear window.

Oh, and don't worry if the drying time is longer than two weeks. Unless your car is out baking in the sun, it will take longer for all the little bubbles/clouds to disappear since the H.O. film is so thick. I think it took about 5-6 weeks for my tint to dry (since it's garaged 99% of the day).

Ha, always giving me a hard time, huh Henry?

Just to clarify, I have a real short commute to work, about 2 miles. My car sits in my work's underground parking structure during the day and is garaged at night. Don't drive too much during the day...am usually stuck in the office.

You did it at 50% for the front windshield? It's not clear son!

I wish I went with 60%, I'm driving like bat. I can see the diff. But I also got tinted prescription glasses....

LOOKING GOOD! I wish I went with Ceramic all around!

Since we are talking about tinting, does anybody know of a website that shows nation wide, huper optik tint installers?
