Nope, 35% doesn't give you much additional privacy but it is light enough where night visibility is not adversely affected. That, and the law, were the two most important things I was considering.

Ok so what brand tire mounter and balancing system do you own or do you sell before needing tires? What type of alignment rack? It's a pick your battles type if thing. I'd rather pay 300 to an insured competent shop using quality stuff than do it myself to "save" $200 "if" it comes out perfectly. Or more if it doesn't.


Your results may vary, but in the case if my car had it rained I reschedule, happens all the time, as for fearing my car getting messed up none of the dealerships sending high end cars there seemed concerned nor did the guy before me picking his Lamborghini up from clear shield and tints. That's due diligence before turning keys over.

I'm particular, I pulled my car in and out myself. In fact when I bought it I found a new single digit mile one and drove quite far to get it. That's how particular I am so in that regard I completely understand.

So, again, what percentage should it be so visibility out back and to the sides does not become a major issue? I sue the side mirrors a lot.

20%

no worries about me, you do wat you want to do, i dont care.

the question was, does anyone know or have experience with pre-cut tint shops?

I paid $300.00 for 15% LLumar Pinnacle ceramic on the rear 3 windows. I have a lifetime warranty, and it's a perfect fit.

beautifully done, mr.onzedge! :tup: luv that color too. :tup:

Thank you, Mr. Kenchan's Doppelganger. :tiphat:

I have 35% on doors and 20% on rears and those little side windows. I wanted to be able to see out at night and plus i don't really want the state troopers hounding me for illegal tint.
I paid $150 for Madico tint film with lifetime warranty.

:bowrofl:

This is about the only car I haven't tinted since I bought cars in the mid 90s when I started driving. Sometimes I want people to see who owns it, I get loads of thumbs up everywhere I go, plus, the girls love to look too:) I am married though so that doesn't help much, but it does put a smile on my face. I am however thinking of tinting now because I am putting wheels on...whenever they actually make it here from Japan......and I think the plain glass itself will drive me nuts! So im personally stuck on whether to tint or not and how dark to go? Ive ALWAYS picked 5% all around. Last year was my first year to ever get a ticket for tint in my Honda I own. I was in south florida headed home and a dickhead cop pulled me over and had me outa the car asking about drugs!!!??? the ****?!! I passed him at 72 cause I was just cruising. So now im like hmm do I wana go through that fluke again or just go light colored. The dark does look DAMN sexy though....I love not being seen too! Id love to see more tint %'s in this thread.

Strongly agree with the above.

I paid about $300 for a tint from Formula one - Pinnacle series. The shop had a display with a wheel (sorta like a colour wheel) with different types of tints on it and a bright hot light above shining on it, you could really feel with your hand underneath the wheel the difference between the tints.

I couldn't be happier with it.
