i was just wondering if ne one got tinting done on their car recently, how much it was and whats a good amount of tint for a white car thanks for the advice

 

Got mine done with a group for $200 and it needs redone, but that's about average.

 

i paid about 200 or 220 i think and i think i a have 35% all around here is a pic

 

Paid 165 after some talking down for my 15%. I have had it for over a year and no problems, I also have a lifetime warranty in case I do need to have it redone.

 

cool, how about some good places in the east bay by walnut creek

Vincent has done my car and many others, also Boku runs bay car stereo that does tinting as well

35% sides, 30% rear on my car (sorry crappy pic)




next time search the bay thread, "wheres a good this? whats a good place for that?" kind of questions have been discussed many times before

 

damn prices for tints where you guys live is expensive here in miami theres a tint shop every other block so prices are very competitive but range from as low as $59.99 -$200.00 and $200 would be like for a suv of some sort not our cl`s i got 5 % all around and i even had the windshield tinted 5 % to till a rock from a truck cracked my windshield

 

these tints look very nice. my gf told me about this place that did her car her's is not very noticeable though. I was reading on these threads also about the black vinyl that i should get on my matrix or sumthing because its prone to having bubbles is that on the top of the back window?

 

Hey justin, how noticeable is the differents between the rear and sides?

 

its different in different lighting. At night or when theres not direct sunlight they look pretty much the same. When the sun hits through the windshield, the fronts look noticeably lighter.

 

I got 20% for 150

 

Thats how mine was when it was 30 in front and 25 all in the back. Now that I have 2 layers of 25 on the rear windshield the 25 and 30 are a little more noticeable as far as the difference of them goes.

 

mines are 15% and i payed 100 bucks for them

 

Hey, what's up rice_pock3t_rock3t. I'm a professional window tinter and personally, I would go with 35% all around on your white car assuming that your interior is black. It's a clean, subtle shade but still provides enough privacy. Just keep in mind that darker interiors will make your tint look darker and lighter interiors will make your tint look lighter. For example, I recently tinted a Ferrari F430 with tan leather and the interior made the 35% tint look a lot lighter. But if you have any more questions regarding, feel free to ask me!

my interier in my car is grey but 35% does sound good ill keep that in mind

 

what do you guys do around the dot matrix crap?

 

dont you use black vinyl

 

yeah i have a black vinyl over the dot matrix it makes a big difference.

 

Most shops use black vinyl because it's the easiest way to tint the matrix, but make sure the installer is good or else the black vinyl will look like crap. Personally, I don't use black vinyl because I haven't had a problem with tinting over the matrix on most cars. But for cars that are problematic, I will use black vinyl. If the tinter is good, he or she will able to tint over the matrix without having to use black vinyl and still have it look amazing.

 

I heard you can sand the dot matrix down a little to get it to stick better. Any idea if that works? The dot matrix on the driver and passenger window are a bitchhhh.

 

I would not recommend sanding matrix down and I don't think it works. Besides, it's just bad practice. No tint shop should have to sand down a customer's car to apply the film.

 

"5% tint so they can't see up in my window"

 

wow i like your car

 

That's what I told him too

 

35% all around on a white with tan interior. The law here in VA is 50% but with the tan interior i never get bothered.

 

what are the tinting laws in CAli

 

www.google.com

does anyone search for their own information anymore?

 

Anything darker than 80% on the two front roll-up windows are illegal, but the back windows can be as dark as you want.

 

bullllll. You told me to get it done and see if it works so you could do it to your car. haha liarrrrr.

 

so i called this place where my gf got her tinting done a while back, and i asked how much to tint he said like 145 for the back and the small windows and then 50-65 dollars more to do the roll down windows is that a good price for all windows? or better w/ just the back and the small windows thanks

i would NEVER

 

My friends shop hooked me up with 15% SolarGuard Tint FREE. But I think it varies on where you go. Usually it runs around $150-250 depending on how dark you want it.

 

i was wondering if ne one had water marks left on there window after tinting of the car. I recently washed and when i tried to get off the water marks they seem to stay. Im not sure if this was because before the guy put on the tint the window wasnt clean or its cuz of the tint. I tried to windex out the water marks but didnt work

 

i have the same water marks on all my windows inculding the front and i cant get them off aswell so some help us out here

 

Lol......15% All around and 35% front windshield ftw



When wiping your window do you see it go away a bit and then come bacK? or does it still stay there after the wipe? I would try using soapy water and see how that works for you. get a spray bottle and do 3 cups of water and half tablespoon of soap (NOT DAWN).
