window tint
Getting my windows tinted, would like to see pics of some fullsize cars w/tint? Planning on black, but have a predicament....
a) get just the rear windshield, and 2 rear quarter windows done. $150 via professional, and legal. b) get all the windows done. Not legal, but have a few friends with the same and they havent had any trouble. Usually, when the car will be driven windows will be down anyways  Just wondering, how will it look with just the back 3 windows tinted? Any ideas...? |

so tint the front doors lighter than the 1/4 windows and the rear.
i don't care for tint on many cars, but if you're gonna do it do it right. mike

Tint details...........
Thanks,
Don't know the brand, but MEDIUM tint seems to be a term used by all of the better tinters to describe the tint shade. All three cars were tinted by the same guy, using the same material. The interior color has a lot to do with the finished look as it reflects light. The GP's interior is the lightest (Ivy Gold) and the TA's is black. Les

Get it done professionally and make sure they use a metalized or ceramic based film. The crap you buy at autozone is dyed film which is the stuff that turns purple and cracks and peels off and its a pain to remove if needed. High quality stuff peels right off when you need it to but its actually much tougher with wear and tear. Laws very by state or I guess province in your case. Its all measured in % which is the amount of light allowed to pass through. 5% is limo and the lightest most companies make is about a %50. I usually use about a 20 or 22% on my cars. Check your local laws, its usually an issue in bigger cities and not so much in smaller towns. The place i worked at used Solargard film which is great or LLumar is good stuff too.
