I want to put tints on my 04' coupe and i had a few questions first. What tint levels have people put on, and has anyone tried darker on the back window than on the side windows? also how much have people paid to have their tints put on?

 

I just got quoted 189$ by my local installer to do everything except the windshield..

Sidez paid 330$ for his! prices can vary..

I believe that you do not need that dark of a tint because of how small the windows are, even 50% or 35% will look a lot darker then it really is.. at least that is what i'm told..

 

With the glass so dark ...They won't even know your name....The choice is up to you, because they come in two classes...

Buy some tint or cheap sunglasses..

OH YEA!!



($150) for all 6 windows at kool tint

 

Are the rhinestones thrown in for free, or is it reall cheap stuff???

 

mine was already tinted when i picked it up, but i had my tinter guy add a second layer of 5% tint on top of it-both fronts,2 little sides and the rear and a strip across the front...$80 out the door-lifetime warranty

 

Windshield tint.. wow! Have you gotten into any trouble with that yet? It's HIGHLY illegal in Michigan...

 

mutt where are you from?

 

I put 35% on the rear window, and 50% on both the little corners on the sides. I paid around $140 for the job, with 3M's whatever the best tint they have. I'm not a tint person, it is mainly for security for the trunk space.

 

Just be careful you adhere to your state laws regarding tint. Around here the make you strip it if its too dark. I even know a cop who was told his was too dark, remove it. I'd hate to see someone spend the prices I'm seeing on this thread only to be told to remove it.

Of course.. Always..

 

State tint laws CLICK HERE.
I disregarded the Illinois laws and took a chance.
Medium tint on doors , Limo black out tint on little sides and rear hatch.
In Illinois tint is banned on doors on all 2 door models. I have been OK with the past two cars by using medium on the doors.

 

This was really helpfull to know thank you.

 

Valk,

I have 20% all around. As mentioned, since the windows are so small it appears darker. 35% is the legal limit in Texas but they really wont mess with you for 20%.

 

I had 15% Lumar installed all the way around for $125 with a lifetime warranty. (no pics online, yet.) It provides enough shade to make driving comfortable during the day, but at night it does affect my ability to determine rearview mirror distances slightly.

Check your local ordinances.

One good thing to know: Lawsuits here in Oklahoma have demonstrated that there is no reliable way for a police officer to check your tint.

EDITED: The police can not determine what % you are using, but don't try to deny having tint alltogether.

 

I can get it done for $100(5 windows) in 5% all around with top of the line laser cut film. It pays to know the rite people at local stealerships.
