jus got tints done yesterday tell me wat you think.

 

What percent ?

 

35%

 

...and how much does a tint job go for? My wife wants it done, very surprised, usually I'm the one talking about modding the car!

 

Looks great! What brand is it?

 

they charge $170 and the brand is llumar

 

next saturday i'm going to install the factory bodykit and my foglights as well.

 

nicee...i wanna get 35% all around but nj laws and my parents are gayyy

 

ny state law is 70% the law is gay

 

The car looks real nice BTW.

 

Very very very very very very very very good price for Llumar on a TSX! You obviously didn't have moleskin or felt installed though. And for that price i'm gonna have to say you are on the east coast. I won't touch a TSX for less than 2 bills.

It looks nice! Congrats.

 

nice job. did the place that you got them put on say anything about scratches in particular? i asked around and the shop said said something about scratches and the tsx blah blah.. so i'm still thinking about it.

btw i see you in the window's reflection! haha

 

Hey very nice and cheep. Is there a site where it tells u the state laws on the % of the tint. Once again nice

 

Hmm, odd. I got 20% Global tint all around and it seems as dark as Llumar 35's. My friend got Llumar 20's on his car and it's noticably darker then mine.

Either way, looks nice

 

i wanted 20% but i heard from people that its hard to see at night. so i just went with 35% thanks for all the compliments i'll have more pics up next saturday when i get the lips and fogs installed.

 

moleskin or felt? wats that

 

It's a liner that goes on the inside of your door panels so that your film doesn't get scratched. Some people still get scratches. I reecently took apart the tsx door panels to try and locate what scratches the windows. Couldn't find anything except the hard rubber lining on the inside of the door panel. I am starting wonder if something inside the door does it.


red_tsx- www.tintcenter.com or www.tintdude.com are pretty good resources for state laws. The best thing to do though is to find out the exact number of your states window tinting law and search for it on the net. Then yo can read the exact law and be ready for any cops that pull you over. The laws wil even tell you what it takes to legally tint your windows sarker than the law allows. In WA all you pretty much need is a Dr's note saying you have sensitive skin.

 

thanks cjams

 

i have suntek HP.. 35% front and 20% rear.. think i got ripped off.. paid $320 for it

 

Yeah, I noticed a baby seat attachment in the backseat.

I'm glad you posted this blacktsx05. I have wanted to get tints and was hoping I could find someone with 35% all around. I'm a fan of a consistent color of tint around. Though I like how dark the 20% is, I couldn't get away with it. Cops suck here in Ohio too, but not as bad, it seems, as NY.

 

Thank you CJams. Just to let u no how lame Mi is u can't tint ur front windows exept the top 4 inches.

 

the cops they aint that bad just some of them are pricks. yea for like 2 weeks i couldnt make up my mind if i wanted 35% or 20% but i'm happy with 35

 

Looks good! Llumar is some nice stuff.

 

i never had tints done before and i was wondering why does the brand matter so much?

 

^^There's several good brands. I think you just don't want to go with some one-off, no-name brand. More trouble than it's worth.

CJams is better qualified to comment on this, as he installs tint professionally. It comes down to you get what you pay for. The installer has a lot to do with it, too.

 

ohh i asked around in my area and the place that i went to is the best around i seen places around where i live that charge as low as 89.99. i would rather pay extra money.

 

Nice looking tint.....I also have 35% all around.......

 

Nice, your car or your parents' (due to the baby seat in the back?)?

 

my car just had a baby hes 2 months old.

 

One recommendation, carry a set of towels in the car. My son puked in my car about 2-3 months ago, 2 separate occassions. The second time I had towels and it made cleanup a lot easier.

You'll love it when you can turn them around to face forward.

 

yea my sons does like projectile vomiting so i stuck a bunch of towels behind the passenger seat just incase.

 

A kid at 17?
Whoa... congrats, I guess?

 

Looking good.

 

Ohhh looks nice!!!

 

yea i gotta pay for it now. but its not thats bad

 

I live in Tennessee and just got the windows tinted on my '05 SSM TSX. The tinter only charged me $150 for the job (Llumar tint - 35% on sides and back). I am very pleased with the results.

After hearing the warning of tint scratches on the TSX, I was a little apprehensive about rolling down the window for the first time (I waited about 3 days and man did I hate that being a drive-through junkie). I am happy to say that several roll downs and ups later there are no scratches on it.
