Any of you get your windows tinted yet?

Educ8r · 01-12-2009, 05:15 PM

I noticed today in the corner of my window that the tint is peeling, I'm sure this is due to the installer and not the window automatically going up and down. I don't feel like taking it back to them, so I'm going to cut the small piece off, it's not noticeable.

I'm on the fence regarding the clear bra, the guys that tinted my windows showed me an example of a clear bra on a Camry. It looked ok. Post pics when you get yours done.

I have limo tint on the back window. It really helps, especially when the idiots with the trucks/suv's that stand 6 feet off the ground pull up 2 inches behind you.

The strip on the windshield helps a great deal also.

They do kicka$$ job. Me and onethreefive drove 160 miles roundtrip to get it tinted there. It was worth it. He actually gave a us a better deal since we drove that far but since the job was done right, we gave that back as tips.

True. If it's wet out, you do have to give longer drying time. Mine was done in the middle of the summer (80 degrees average) and I still gave it a 5 days drying time.

It's always the first thing I do - then I de-badge it, although with the name 'Nissan' on the brake calipers I'll have an extra job this time - must say I deeply prefer 'Brembo'.

What level of tint are your windows? - standard + photoshop?

photoshop? lol. no, no photoshop. I have them tinted with 5%. No problems for me seeing out at night because its good tint, and I have never had a legal issue with them being so dark (so far, knock on wood). I have been pulled over a few times in my other cars with 5% and had no problems. I just like the windows dark.

...then I am officially jealous! I'd love to have my tints that dark, then nobody could see how old and ugly I am

...but in the UK I'd be stopped all the time - it's not worth the hassle - good luck with yours - they're beautiful.

'Almost' as gorgeous as the SOLID RED.

Yep, mine pealed back a little on the drivers side front up by the mirror, I took an exacto and trimmed it off about a 1/4 inch or so, not noticeable.

That looks nice. Red with dark windows
