would the people who have tints on their car post pics for me? and let me konw the %. i plan on getting tints soon, and i wanted to compare different percentages. thanks

 

sorry... it's Tint not tints

 

hes right


professional tinting = waste of money.

 

on me. will the people who have TINT on their car post pics? better?

i'm not looking for profession tint, and i wouldn't mind don't it myself but im afraid i'd get bubbles and mess it up. and i've heard its not easy.

 

What kind of car you gonna "tints"?

I have tinted some cars and trucks in my time and mostly its cake but some of the newer style windows bow in like every direction and thats harder.

 

13% all around. Quantem film.

 

here's mine, outta four catagories (light, medium, dark, limo) i have the medium grade

 

heres a tint pic of my car

 

gotnos, what % is that?

 

94 honda accord coupe. i would like to do it myself. would you recommend any certain diy kit? and how much do they go for?

 

limo tint i forget the percent but its not legal, i dont get harrased about it thou in MN theirs not to many cars like this so they dont know much about them.

 

i don't mind if my % is illegal, but i think limo would be extreme. cops here just hate honda's and acura's and i think i'll just get harassed left and right. does anyone know the legal % limit for NYC?

 

I went and got some random **** from autozone, like $10-$20 a roll, one roll will do 2 side windows or one front/back window, you might be able to do all the side windows with one roll.

I got 5% in the front and 2.5% in the back windows.... i don't like it at all, i can't see **** at night, in the day i feel like im in a tunnel, its so dark. You can't see **** inside though. I just started on my rear window a few weeks ago and i used 20%.
The 20% looks about the same from the outside but much easier to see out of from the inside

Usually i have found that the limit is around 25%, im sure its something like that where you are

shitty pic but you can see the back window
heres one with the windows up

35% rear...i have 35% in front but no pics with windows up

 

here is a page for tint laws

thanks guys. i think i'm leaning towards 20-35%.

 

was it hard to diy?

 

just takes some patience with getting all the air pockets out....
Just don't do it in cold weather it won't work very well at all..
you'll need alot of "new" razorblades and it will look better with removing more panels. On my front windows, i took the window out of the door and tinted the entire window so you can't see a transition line around the top of the window, on the back windows i pulled the panels off and tinted the whole window so you don't see where the tint is.
I started my back window and ran out of time, now i got to do it agian and haven't been able to since its so cold..

 

here's mine....5% all around.

 

5% is too dark. i think 35% is pretty good.
