"Silver is the best!"....

ok ok i'm biased....

 

35% is the maximum allowed here on all windows in TX. I think I'll find a tint shop and see if they can show me firsthand what I'll be seeing through the windows of the car before I decide.
I don't want to impair my visibility in any way by tinting but I want to protect the car. I wish they had auto tinting windshields like the glasses :b

 

those pics make me wanna do mine darker

 

here is mine and my lovely wife showing off...

 

Welp right before I got my Escort in the mail and a few days after I got my tint I got a ticket for speeding (@#$) going 80 on Freeway (heh not very fast) I couldn't tell it was a cop behind me. I need to get some getting used to for the back window. I am better now at identifing cars but one of my first nights on the road, thats just bad luck for me!

BTW great pictures of the cars and tint jobs :D

 

5% back, 20% front, tomorrow i will take a picture from inside the car to show you that it isn't really dark at all....make that 2 days from now cause of the storm.

 

Pic was too big, maybe this one

 

The above pic is 7% I love it but it's hard to see on unlighted roads at night. I never have had to dim my rearview mirror though :D

 

I alwaystint my cars but w/the Rx8 I want people to see the ***** who is sitting behind the wheel. The tints do lookreally nice though on the Titanium. I might reconsider tintingmine as well. 5% in a car w/such small windows is really dark. If I do do them they wont be darker than 15%

 

Looks superb :D

 

His plate says California.

 

His plate says California.

 

Finally got mine tinted today............

50% on driver & passenger, 20% on the others....

 

forgot the visor strip on the front

 

I had a strip on the front of my civic but I got several tickets for obstruction of view , 80 bucks

 

Anyone happen to know the max legal tint in CA?

(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), clear, colorless, and transparent material may be installed, affixed, or applied to the front side windows, located to the immediate left and right of the front seat if the following conditions are met:

How did you guys tint these windows ?
I went to a local "window-clinic" wich is supposed to be very good (the work I've seen was good) but they did not want to do the rear window.
They said there was not enough room to do the tinting.

Or did they remove the rear window to do the tinting ?
Did they use foil, or did they sprayed the window ?

Thanks

 

Raul who did mine in OC/LA area got up back there and did them. a pain but came out nice and perfect. no window removal required.

 

Hi guys,

I always get my new cars done before I leave the lot. Here, we are allowed up to 35% legally on all windows except the front windscreen. :D

Here is a piccy that shows it off pretty well:



Cheers,
Hymee.
