40% Hüper Optik ceramic tint ALL around

Been trying to find a shop to tint my front windshield for a week. Some never heard of Hüper Optik and the rest didn't want to do the job. Called the shop I had the car tinted at before and they said the same thing. Called again and worked out a deal.

The night before I was the freeway and someone dropped what looked like a garbage bag. It hit the ground and stuff flew out all over the road. I swerved around it and missed the bag by about a foot. On the way to tint the car the next day (today) I lost power steering and also the AC and the low battery and brake light came on. Got off the freeway and the accessory belts were gone. Called up a friend to bring me new belts and changed them on the spot. Since the car was running off the battery not the alternator I doubt I could of made it back home before it drained. I rescheduled the tint appointment and made it.

There is a lot of water in the tint and it's a lil blurry but once it's dries in 2 months which is how long it took last time it should look like it's not even tinted from the inside. It already doesn't. And now I don't need a sun shade anymore.

and I also nearly totaled the car today driving in downtown Atlanta.


SS braided wire that I found stuck in the pulleys. When the belts flew off it ripped through the wiring harness for the radiator fans but they still worked with no short.


The belts.


How I fixed it.





After that at the tint shop. Before the tint.


































































































After it was done.



















She's light on her feet.

I can honestly say I do not see a difference except it's a lil blurry because there is a lot of water under it.

From the outside it is different. From the inside it's exactly the same as before.

Why dont you go a little darker on the side windows? You live in a southern state with darker tint laws, take advantage of them!!

The tint on the windshield is already illegal. For me it's dark enough now. I mostly tinted it all to keep ALL the heat out. Makes my summers go by easier.

you should have posed with the girl helping maybe ask her if she want to go to a 10 star restaurant. Looks good the tint guy i go to around my way he never has any water or bubbles in the tint when he is done. Try to keep it in the sun as much as you can that will help. Or maybe put one of those reflectors up i would think that would help

The darkest I can go on that is 35% so 40% which is lighter than 35% stays. I like the way it looks.

The most I can do is nothing. I'm hoping it wont freeze.

It didn't cost a lot but I just don't want to wait another 3 hours.
Actually now I have $590 worth of ceramic tint on the car.
