Window tints what %???

Whats up everyone. I know there are a few posts about window tints but i need to see pictures. If i am going to get my windows done i need to know if it is going to look good. So i was wondering if anyone would post some pictures of their
RX-8 and the percentage of tint they got on all their windows.
Thanks

What state are you in? Different laws apply.

Right now I believe Georgia's law is up the air a bit. They dropped the law alltogether due to a court case. The law is being reworked and will be reinstated soon. It'll be just like ours here mostlikely. Which means 32% all the way around. Good possibility of it being 32 on fronts and whatever you want on the rest. Where in Georgia are you? I've got some shops I could recommend to you depending on your location. I used to live in Savannah.

Here's another pic of the front of my shop after doing this black RX-8 in Charcoal 32%. Tint looks darker on rainy days.

Nice... I actually live in Athens Georgia. I am kinda new to the forum so eventually i will get around to doing my profile. If you are familiar with Athens there are a couple of places on the atlanta highway i will go get an estimate from as soon as this damn hurricane is over with and a new one comes back in.

Oh also. I was wondering what the average price is for tinting on all 5 windows. I have seen somewhere between $150 and $200 floating around somewhere but that seems a little cheap. Hell maybe that is expensive. I have no idea how much it costs. However I do not want any bubbles, lines, or any of that crap so if i have to dish out the extra cash i am willing if it is going to last me.

Sounds about average. Every city differs. My retail price is $169.00. But since I own one.....I give everyone a deal. $120.00 Just so I know they are coming to me rather than going to some other shop. Plus....they are easy cars to tint. I've got a couple buddies in Atlanta if you would like a referral.

Most areas tint costs $120 - 200 range.

This was my first car that I've gotten tinted, and my major conserns were the same as yours, but also tint fade (turning purple) was something I didn't want.

SolarGuard's HP true grey 18% tint fit what I wanted, and let my navigation system function.

I just had mine done on Sat. and did 20% in the rear and 35% on the sides. I would have gone a little darker on the sides but that is the legal limit here in MA. I'm very happy with the results.
