a friend of mind just got a black coupe, but the dealer wasnt able to do the tint for him, i always thought dealers would do that, so if im leasing the coupe, what am I going to have to do? (i dont know if my dealer does tint or not, will ask tonight, but lets say no for now)

 

I'd recomend a place for you but your profile doesn't say where you live. Any where near CFL?

 

nope, jersey

btw, if i tint the windows on the leased car, what will happen when its time to trade the car in, any idea?

 

this is something you should ask the dealer.........get it straight from the source.

 

In jersey it is illegal to tint your front (side) windows. I have been pulled over in Holmdel, NJ for having tints on the front windows. There is a ticket for that.
So with the coupe you can pretty much only tint the back windows 'legally'.

But if you still want to do it, then go ahead and take the risk. Also, dealers dont do it. For $200 or so you can get it done really well from a tint shop.

 

this sucks

how does tinting works? i always thought they put a new window in

 

I know it sucks!
Because of the law the dealers wont sell you tints on your windows.
There are two way to tint.
1. Using Tinted Windows - changing your existing window with a colored (darker) window glass.
2. Using Tinted film - putting a colored film over the glass window. This is the most common option. Easy to put on and easy to remove.

So if you do want to put on tints and take the risk. I suggest go with the film, which will cost you around $200 and if you have to remove it, it will be $25.

here is a link to tinting laws in all the states.
