how much did they charge you for your windows?

 

Ok whats the darkest (limo tint)??? in %??

 

Axmily--I paid $200 to have my windows tinted. I would be happy as hell to recommend you to him. He's owned several shops and finally decided the overhead and paying employees was too pricey, so now he and his son do it out of his garage (which LOOKS like a tint shop) and is VERY professional. He also offers a lifetime warranty.


Topnotch--the darkest possible would be 1%. 0% would be no light through, but that would be a painted window, not a "tinted" window. Limo tint is 5% usually. Double limo will come out to around 2%

 

Oh ok then i have 2% tint all around ... lol and 35% on front windshield..

 

What's your reasoning behind that? Is the car your daily driver? Do you ever drive after sunset?

 

how do you see at night? with your front windows down?

 

i guess i have 10%.. but i got metered and a ticket for 10.3 on a sunny winter day this past november.

 

You may have 15%. The windows come from the factory with a very very light tint built right into the glass.

 

Getting my windows tinted soon before spring rolls around..what are reasonable prices?? I'm guessing i'll be over paying if it's anything above 200?

I'm from Mass, will be going state law - 35%. My interior is dark so hopefully it looks slightly darker than 35%

 

How do you drive with that dark?

SO if you have limo tint 5% and 2 layers thats:

78% tint (factory tint) + 5% + 5%

.78 x .05 x .05 = .1%

Thats just crazy

 

I paid $180. If you are local to Boston PM me and I can tell you a great shop I always go to.

35% film on factory glass is always darker. Factory tint is 78% according to my meter (yes I actually bought a tint meter)

So 35% film on 78% glass is 27% on the meter and that's what it actually comes out to. It all depends on the brand tint of course. If you want to see what that looks like, i posted a pic of my car with STone interior on Page 2. With graphite i'm sure it will look darker. I think it's perfect and wouldn't want it any darker.

 

To all the ppl that where talking to me:
Yes i am a daily driver
I drive with my windows down and up
I could see im already used to it since ive had it like that for 4 years....
Yup i guess i have 1% tint... thats dope haha

 

I would say anything over 250 is overpaying. $200 is a good deal. $150 is a robbery.
I came up with .2
I sometimes wish I would've went darker than 20% on really bright sunny days, but as far as looks go, I absolutely love my 20% charcoal. It's a bitch to see out of in a dark parking lot though!!
You're crazy.
A wise man once said "Form follows function." Your windows are not functional AT ALL. You can't even argue that they are.




Anyone here have their windshield tinted? How dark? Is it a bitch to see out of at night? I'm thinking of doing something like a 50% on the windshield. Does the windshield have tint dyed into the glass like the side windows?

 

^My windshield was tinted at 60% on a Maxima. It was nice since I never had to wear shades from the blinding sun.

I'm in MA also but had my car tinted in Queens, NY for $125. Rear three windows were tinted at 5% and 10% on fronts. You may want to take into consideration the brake light sitting behind the rear window. I asked the tint shop to cover the entire window meaning all the seats had to be removed in order for it to work. Not my style having the box cut around the light...doesn't look very clean IMO...but that's just me

 

I kinda rounded a bit.



Either way, driving around with .2% window tint is rediculous. You might as well spraypaint them black at that point
