35 is the leagal tint and the place will only do the 35 percent with a warentee. other wise if i go darker they won't warentee it or give me a receipt. its only a 100 bucks and i think its 3m or llumar tint.

aaronnn

that's a sweeeet deal!!! and you wont get pulled over for it since its legal. im in jersey too, but where the hell do you get a deal like that????

WHITE3.2TL-S

i can get mine for $160..where is ur place located?

shawn744

35% is way to light for me....but i must say that it still looked pretty hot

and also, 100 bucks is a sick deal...that's awesome

hehe everyone in this thread's from nj....

aaronnn

mann.. am i the only one that's about to get ripped off in jersey?? tell me where you people get these deals?? im getting these ridiculous quotes of 200+. its pissing my off because i cant find anyone near me that'll do it for under 200.

shawn744

well...in a way it does suck.....i go to Sam's Window Tinting II in hawthorne....he's got another shop in nanuet, ny.....i used to pay 220 for the first....the rest of the 5 jobs i gave him i paid 180....not to mention the last one was free....he's really good though...

aaronnn

whoa.. hawthorne's is like 5 minutes from my place. thanks man. i'll see if i can get in touch with the guy. it should probably be listed in yellow pages right?

shawn744

hehe actually, yes....he's got the biggest freaking ad in the yellow pages

edit: the guy's got new benzes coming in...tinted a few ferarris when i was there

demolition_x

well i goto school in west virginia. so thats where i found the place. its still quality stuff. i think 3m or llumar tints. im debating if i should risk it with out the warentee. any one have pics of 35%

shawn744

well....what about the price? if it's 100 bucks no matter what %, def go as dark as you want...

tint price is cheap so why not?....you should know if the guy's a professional

yeah i got pics....hang on

shawn744

35% in most situations will be see through....some angled positions would be blacked out.....like angled view in the snow or rain......

PICS ARE OF 15%




THIS PIC IS MY CURRENT 15%

demolition_x

so u think i should go with darker than 35

Crazy88

go with 20-25%

Jaadu

My setup on the car right now is as follows:

20% on the rear glass and 20% on all 4 side windows with 50% on front windshield. It is a little too dark for my liking especially when making turns at night time or backing out of the drive way because seeing out of the 20% side windows is kind of difficult.

My Friend's Audi just got the following setup:

Rear Glass 20%, 4 Side Windows 35% and the Front Windshield is 50% and after seeing this setup I'm in love and taking my car in next week to get it done. Looking at the car from outside you can not tell the differecne between 35% and 20% and because of the 50% on the windshield it makes the car look very clean and smooth. Just dark enough but not too dark.

Anyone know any good tint places in Connecticut? I'm dying to get mine done in the Spring.

fsttyms1

it all depends on the lighting and angles.

this is 35% front 25 rear.
i find this a good combo and if your limit is 35% you will also have less hassel with the cops

r10apple

I'm not a big fan of mismatched tint...

Florida has 35% limit on the front windows, but I went with 20% all the way around. I've never been pulled over in this car with that tint and am beside cops all the time.

When I was younger, I did 5% but now that I am half blind, I can't see shizzit at night when darker than the 20%...

In Florida, our guy is about $175, but it is a flawless job. You really don't want to screw tint up because a lot of m0r0ns will scratch the shizzit out of your glass if it needs to be redone later. Remember, if it costs a little more, it's probably worth it...

ok i stopped in the place today. he said its johnson tint and the mettalic mirror tint was the other brands. he had a car there with 35 and it seemed like i could look right through it. so i think i want darker. and the search begins .

Doc Holliday

Dude, it depends on your preference...

I was like you and hated 35%, but after looking at all the cars... 35 is not so bad.

35% looks expensive, classy and people can barely see you through a shadow in the day... it's kind of nice and you can see perfectly at night and they can't see you at all at night.

If you want to get it a little darker in the interior make the back 20 or 15 since most of the light passes through that window anyways.

To me, I like mine... it's not really that big of a deal unless you smoke weed or do drugs in your car or you are so hidious that you don't want people to see the outline of your neck and head. 20% might also give you some difficulty driving at night.

Anything illegal is going to draw a little more attention to you. If you do get pulled over, make sure to roll the windows down before he gets to your car and find an inspector that will give you a sticker before you purchase the illegal tint.

Lumar makes the better film than 3m these days.

They all have a cheap line though like the regular dyed film... do your research and if you don't have a Navi you are ok to go with a slight metallic tint with a lifetime warranty. If you go with illegal, nobody is going to give you a warranty.

Hope this helps

Doc Holliday

Go with Formula One Classic 35 on sides and 20 on the back and be done with it... Lifetime warranty, good intall, no inspection hassles, and all. Make sure you tell them not to leave any gaps on the rear quarter panels and to micro edge the windows... Peace

So is the car registered in Jersey or in Virginia?

In NJ you can't have any tint on the front windows or the windshield, and on the rear windows there is no limit to how low you can go.

NJ Aegean 03

I have 35% all the way around on my 03 ABP TLS, I think it looks great. During the day, tinted just enough to know but not noticeable enough to attract a cop's attention. At night, it gets very dark, you can barely see through it.

As for price, I got mine done (all windows except windshield) at Auto Creations in Raritan NJ for 175 (if i remember correctly) and they have a lifetime guarantee. If if ever peels, or fades, you can take it back and they replace it no questions asked.

If you are worried inspection, don't.......I can help you out in that department Just send a PM if you need to get inspected soon. (NJ residents only)

AsianRage

I have 20% Johnson Titanium Tint on all my windows. I also have Black interior so it looks really good. From inside looking out, it's a shade darker, but from the outside looking in, it's really black. My tint guy came very well recommended from everyone I know. He did a good job on it.

mclarenf3387

Ahhhh, where were you a few months ago when I needed to get my car inspected?

Just playing, but its good to know there is a place to go that will pass you with tints.

@cUr@-TL

i have 35% on my car and i wish i got 20 or darker...

demolition_x

in registered in nj... idk what to do now. any one have any close ups of the rear window that would be cool.

Mine's 35% all around, 3M, and I can't see shit at night. During the day, it's dark enough, but light enough for the cops to see. Haven't been pulled over for it yet, *knock on wood*, although cops around here are dicks about it.
