Default My Windows Tint

Got my windows tint done today
7% for the 3 at the back
35% for the front doors

Pics:
Almost done:

They actually took all the windows out and baked it, then tinted it... they do a good job !!


This is taken at night, the back doe look real dark even with sun light, and the front looks darker at night

Closer look:

Back:

It costs me 200 CAD cash... good deal, great work

Looks good to me, but I got 5% side/rear and 35% front, so I'm not jealous like the others...

I've got 15% all around on mine and I think it's perfect. Great for the florida sun. But why did they take the windows out? I've never seen that done before.

I have the same setup. If i had it to do again I would have done 35% all the way around. With the back that dark its hard to see out at night especially backing out of parking places. Also I dont like the contrast in the tint.

FWIW

It's snowing where you people live!? I am still wearing shorts!


I used to have 7% all the way around and I didn't think it was too dark for driving. Only when backing out of parking spaces, but if you are careful nothing will happen.

Tint looks good.

I used to have 20% all the way around. It looked good, but sometimes I thought it was too dark. Oh well, on my new car I think i might not tint at all....unless i roll with stripped interior all the time, then tint might make an appearance. anyways, those guys look like they did a good job, taking the windows out and everything

I wouldn't have even made it home without being stopped by the cops. Thats just a ticket waiting to happen here in Cali(I noticed you are in Canada). I think it looks ok, but I wouldnt do it just because its too much of a hassle here.
