I just got my windows tinted today... I've been burning my ass and hands getting in my car for 7 weeks now. Finally forked out the $275 to have them tinted today. Thanks to all who replied to my thread.
5% T-tops
5% Sunshade on windshield
15% Sides
15% Hatch
I love it!
Congrats! I love my tints, it really makes a huge difference and sets off the look of the car.
post up some pics
Mr Bobo where are the pics? :gotpics:
Do 5% on the tops make a difference over the factory tint? I've got the slide in shades that I put in when its' out in the sun. All the other windows are tinted and makes a difference. Just wondering thoughts on the tops.
HEY!! just a warning tinting your T-Tops could cause them to crack...Factory tint is in the glass but adding the film will trap the heat on your roof and will not allow the flexibility to expand and compress (glass is liquid) and could cause them to crack..same with a sun roof
:cuss:
Good info. Even if there is a chance, I'm out.
Not all tint is created equal. When I had my t-tops tinted the shop warned me about the tint trapping heat. They used some kind of mirror/heat reflective tint that would be better than the standard stuff. I can't remember what they used, but they seemed pretty knowledgeable.
I live in Florida, car sits outside all the time, tint's been on for like 2-3 years, zero problems.
it might have been a ceramic film which is more expensive and better quality.. im just saying there is a risk there..not sayin it will happe to everyone...but the risk is there..
Well, I'm not all that pressed to get it done anyway. They look pretty good just the way they are to me.
It was a huge difference, tinted vs non tinted on the tops for me. I can drive all day with the sun coming through the top and not be bothered. Before it was just too bright / hot.
The film they used has a mirror brownish hue to it, my car never came with the removable shades, so the tint was a life saver.
Have you had any problems with it? I use the sun shades when its' parked. I'm too lazy to take them off sometimes but, would still enjoy some light but, to have it toned down a bit.
Maybe if you have had no problems, I can try it. Need to make sure I'm getting quality film though. It would suck to have one crack because of it.
Get some pictures man, I have been thinking bout the visor strip, if you could take one looking out of the car, hows the 15 compare to the 20?

The toyota yea isnt much to look at, but i live on a ranch, its a ranch vehicle and i swear never breaks down, its got all tools and shit to fix shit...
The photo's weren't meant to enter for COTM, it was just to show the tint to be able to compare to the 15%
thats amazing
Just messin around a bit. Saw the toilet and couldn't help myself.
bump
you should take the flaps off your car, in my opinion they look gay.
Yeah, but look at the terrain he has to go through.
275$ !!!!!! what??? i have 5% all around, but w/o the windshield strip or t-tops. I paid like 120. Mines perfect with a one year warrenty. 275$ seems high bro, cause i asked about the windshield strip ands it was only an extra 20 or 30 dollars. not sure about the t-tops though.....
275 is very high! Hell, I got my entire Trailblazer done with 5% for 140! And I'm pretty sure that thing has alot more glass to tint than a f-body.
Hopefully they lubed him up good before raping him!
On the other hand, if he's happy with it, nothing else really matters.
I think I paid $220 for mine. They did the whole back window in one piece and did an outstanding job.
Yes! All the tint together has cut my interior temp by more than half!Quote:

Yeah, the tint on my car is not the standard tint either... it's some sort of higher quality tint. It's blacker and not as shinny as everyone else's tint around here.
Is it from Area 51?
No... I've never heard of that. Where is that?
It's where the alien space ship crash landed in the 50's. .........lol.
Ha Haaa...:ughlaugh: smart ass. I was sitting here thinking to myself "this is probably a joke".
LOL. You fell right into it........LMFAO!!! I'm sure you'll get me back now.
:yup:One of my friends does that too me all the time and I usually fall for it. I'm used to it by now.
LOL.
DUDE! :bomb:Quote:
