I'm thinking on getting tint, but I'm concerned about the back with the little dots. Will the tint bubble cuz of the little dots? I went to a tint place here in VA and they told me that it'll look milky cuz the dots in acuras/hondas are bigger than other manufacturers????---> So does anyone have flawless tint installed in the back? or is it impossible to have good tint in the back because of the little dots??????

The only time I realize mine is not perfect is when I am standing outside looking at the rear window...otherwise I am alright with it. I also did not pay all that much for it so I really can't complain. Need a pic? I will try to take one today and post it.

Acurasnake

hey wampum, a pic would be NICE!! Thaaaaanks!

I have no problem with my tint beside the back tint cause a little flare while driving at night. I love my very light sky blue mirror tint on my black car.

962.5tl

yeah it is really hard to prevent the bubles from coing up but the rest is flawless and they even did a 1 piece rear window (which most plces cant do so they use two pieces and most of the time the gap will get notiable over time...
will post pics

chadhova

Here is the left window with 35% mirror tint...

chadhova

Don't know if you can see the top of the rear window from this angle...

Acurasnake

chadhova....nice pics! So you have mirror tint on the sides and Black tint on the back huh? that's cool.....

Mikes96TL03CLS

Here is my tint, it's 15% very dark.

chadhova

No but that would be a good idea I don't think you can see it. However the gap with the bumpy circles will be more noticeable with the mirror tint because it'll be the only part not reflecting on all the windows.

i have 20% onyx tint by madco it is basically a mix of regular tint and mirror on a sunny day you see nothing and at night yu can see images but its still dark

chadhova

What the hell are those yellow lines on your rear windshield? :wow:

Reefers3.2TL

My bro bro has 5% on his 2.5TL, looks very sweet.

962.5tl

they are the diffroster lines... the reason they are soo bright is cause i used the flash so that it would stand out

turboTL

my ride has gone through 2 tint jobs already. and vevry time that i have had it done, the top of the rear glass gets better. i think that the next time it will be perfect.

chadhova

Hey Turbo, you have any pictures of your ride? So I can recognize you if I see you on the road:o

shaolin1

hey acurasnake, which place did you take your car to? Just out of curiosity?

Acurasnake

ALL RIGHT THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU GUYS GET AWAY WITH SUCH LOW PERCENTAGES????? ESPECIALLY WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS! UGH...VA SUXS - THE LOWEST I CAN GO IS 35% ALL THE WAY AROUND

Acurasnake

I WENT TO L.A. TINT FOR THE ESTIMATES.........$269.00 4 PREMIUM TINT - THE ONES THEY CLAIM THAT DOESN'T FADE AND IS MADE OF SOME TYPE OF METAL FILM NOT LIKE THE "CLASSIC" WHICH FADES DURING TIME

chadhova

Easy on the CAPS LOCK there buddy...it is 175 bucks for Premium all around in Hawaii

Acurasnake

OOooooopppss sorry bout that! i didn't mean to HONEST!! AAHAHHAH YOU HAVE 2 BELIEVE ME ASDKFJASDKFJSFJAKSL..j/k LMAO

shaolin1

hey acurasnake, i hear LA Tint rips you off....I went to some place up around wheaton for a lot less...less than 200 at least. in va/dc/md legal tint is 35%. Surprised that no one will do less than that for you. I got 20....

Acurasnake

shaolin1, where's wheaton at & where exactly are you from?? i'm here in dale city. mayB we should meet up sometime.....

962.5tl

here in jersey you cant have tint on the front windows... ive had it on since may (got my license) and havent had any problems.only been pulled over twice (knock on wood)he asked about the tint and i just shrugged my shoulders.

like nike says "just do it"

turboTL

i have lumar 20% all around paid 160......the windsheild is 50% 3m charcoal that costed me 100......worth every penny though.

'sup chadhova. i'll post a pic to two within the next couple of days.(gotta get the dig. cam back fronm the GF)..........aloha.......

chadhova

Sounds good Turbo. 2 questions, can the cops tell the difference between a 20% tint and 28%(legal limit)? The tint on the front windshield is illegal right, but can anybody tell and have you ever got pulled over for it?

Wampum

Sorry it took so long to get my pic posted. Been busy.

turboTL

to answer as best as i can....

can the cops tell the difference between a 20% tint and 28%(legal limit)?.........visually, i don't think so, but i have heard that many of the narcos are carrying handheld tint meters. BTW the legal limit is 35% for passenger cars (such as our cool rides)


The tint on the front windshield is illegal right, but can anybody tell and have you ever got pulled over for it?.........yes, it is pretty obvious, at night even more so. i was questioned once about my windsheild during the holidays, but just questioned......the narco probably had more important things to do....IE coffee, cigs, donuts....ect....LOL

if you like you can check out my car first, then decide for yourself........................spread the aloha..........k-den..


oh yeah....if anyone was wondering, our factory is about 97% (light transmission)

Acurasnake

wampum: your back tint doesn't look bad at all!

TLover8888

i paid $159 for 15% on the rear and back windows, 28% for the front <--FL law says so...i got the 3M titanium tint: slightly mirrored in the daytime and at nite, you can see shadows inside the car...damn, i love tint!

Reefers3.2TL

My bro got 5% all around on his 2.5 TL for $150. Hes been pulled over 4 times since then for speeding, and none of the cops have ever said anything about the tint.
