Getting Tint soon or tommorow!!!
 
I'm Getting tint tommrow SCWEET! ill post pics. anyways Texas state law says it can be 25% on the front and back side windows, and any percentage on the back window. what would be a good combo? or should i just go 25% all around? :rock:

Gr8Bullet 08-06-2009 02:42 AM

i got 5% on the back 3 and 20% on the doors im happy with it. i dont get hassled by the cops
*knock on wood* lol

yokohamaboi 08-06-2009 03:15 AM

LOL haha, idk im thinking just going 25% all around, i also dont want the back toooo dark to the point it looks like night time when its really day haha. well Hopefully it goes well today, imma try to get them to do an eyebrow on the front windshield. Well he quoted me for $80 with lifetime warranty SCWEET!

yokohamaboi 08-06-2009 12:13 PM

Just got it done, i did 20% all around, with 5% eyebrow on the windshield, ill take pics later if i can find my camera, well peace! i have to go to work :/ :cwm27:

dondo 08-06-2009 12:18 PM

nice man. let's see the pics!!

adamwzl 08-06-2009 01:00 PM

!!!$80 wow what a steal. I want 20% all around like my other cars but since the prev owner of my 8 had tint installed it will cost me $225 to have it stripped and put back on.. for that price.. I will just keep what I got.

Ross_Dawg 08-06-2009 01:27 PM

yeah I had 20% done all around as well... I really wish I had gone darker because night driving isnt any worse than without tint

epikeddie 08-06-2009 01:51 PM

I have 20% all around as well.

I had darker 5% before on my other cars as well as 10% and 15% as well. You may THINK that anything darker than 20% will work, but it really does hinder some of your abilities to see at night. Especially with a car with as many blind spots as the RX8!

Yeah im gonna fix that sticker. At least i dont have NOS stickers lol. anyways i hate the valley cause all the cholo lowered truck guys always wanna race me :/ they can hit 13s with minor mods O.o

Stickers look horrible. Nice tints though. I wish that NY would allow more than 70% tints. WTF, might as well say no tints at all since 70% is basically nothing.

Krazed_Rx8 08-06-2009 03:55 PM

I like it, looks good! Too bad I got a ticket for the tint on my front windows :icon_no2: Similar setup except I have 5% on the back windows

Isn't stock like 74? In Jersey we're not allowed tint on the front but that law can suck my tailpipes.

cyclone1208 08-06-2009 04:16 PM

"Front Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
Rear Window Any darkness can be used."

"Front Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance.
Back Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance."


I don't like the idea of getting tickets. Driving a VR rx8 in NYC is already obnoxious enough :lol: .

yokohamaboi 08-07-2009 01:38 AM
