Tints make my car look like the Batmobile

tints were done by Lorenzos tinting in the Bronx for you guys who know. This guy does top of the line tinting...one piece back window.....I went 15% so very dark you can barely see inside my car the way I like it..had them for a week no problem with cops...I dont think I will either contemplating on getting the windshield tinting.....hey gotta keep those UV rays to a low in order to keep looking young

serious tints for serious cars thats how the rule goes

only hoopty cars that look like a threat to society get harrassed....serious cars cops dont fawk with....

dark tints on lighter cars to get a better contrast on black cars you go smoke cause then it makes the car look funny like it doesn't have windows :thumbsdn:

I only decided on going with 15% only after I saw it on the new A8 4.2 quattro in silver it had the same tint and 15%...It looked unbelievable....as soon as I saw it I decided on 15% cause I originally wanted pussy 35% ....Im glad I went darker I see people staring at my car all the time and they dont even know Im seeing them.... its so great to have that option not to mention.....at night people dont fuck with you cause they think your packing heat....serious tints for serious cars

Looks good lou!
I just tinted my car again too. legal this time.

Have you guys seen the new ceramic based tint? It is 35%, legal, and blocks more heat the 5% metallic tint! My friends tint shop had a display with a heat lamp and four panes of glass. one no tint, sizzling hot! one 35% metal based, still hot. one 5% metal based, hot. and the ceramic. cold to the touch. and the heat lamp is one inch away from the glass. Maybe its all over the mainland already and you guys think i'm crazy.:P my friend still was going to charge me $350 to tint my car with this stuff, but I didn't have the cash. next time!

Nice. Very nice.

How do you keep your bumpers in such good shape parking in between cars? I'm crazy about that.

that looks good as SH**! mine looks like garbage. where did you get that again? i haven't been able to find any weather stripping at any local auto shops/home improvement centers. do you happen to have any extra laying around??? id be willing to pay for shipping if you could send it to me. I can't get over how much better it looks than mine...yours actually fits the contour of the frame. If there's any way you could help me out, let me know, PM me. Thanks man.

LOU I got my '02 CL-S done at Lorenzo's also!


He does a GREAT JOB!! Expensive but good! The tint is to the top of the windows! I had all of my cars tinted at Lorenzo's including my fathers car '93 Acura Legend (for sale-only 50k miles)

Highly recomended!! On all of my cars I had the front windshield tinted, WOW what an awsome job!! The day that I wanted to get the windshield done, I got a damn rock chip on the windshield and cracked it!! What luck is that!! Pics are coming soon, well look at my old '93 Eagle Talon TSI AWD...with 20% all around and 50% front.


and my old '96 Integra Special Edition...with 35% all around and 50%windshield.

classy how well do you know Lorenzo?? this is my first time getting tints from there...at first I loved their work but I did notice small dots on my back window that I think is due to some dirt inside the window....did you ever have a problem with Lorenzo's work??? Do you think this is something he will fix... I can easily get the back window done somewhere else but I will not be able to recommend Lorenzo to anybody....if you know what I mean ....

Lou, I never had a problem with the tints, if you want he can and will redo the window cause he says that once you do tints from him it's like being "married", meaning warranted!! Good guy, talks way to muchhhh!!
