Got my windows tinted...
I got my tint done yesterday, 35% smoked all around. I chickened out on the 20%, didn't want to get hassled by the 5-0.
Anyways, for those of you who are getting it done but have some concerns, this is what I can add:
1) the back was done in one piece *and he didn't have to take the rear window out!
2) the tint looks fine over the dot matrix
3) my Navi and radio reception have NOT been affected!:p

I just had mine done too, but put the 15% on the rear window. The 35% on the sides are excellent. Also, I have no problems with reception. The guy who did the tinting said he has never seen a problem with the TLs reception after the tinting was installed.Must look great!

JPritch...how do you like your car with the tints so far? My baby is in the shop right now being tinted..should have it back w/in 2 hours. Can't wait to see how the tints look. By the way, I have a '02 TLS, SSM...getting 35% all around.

Hey all, I just got my SSM 99 TL w/ navi tinted the other day. The guy I go to is the greatest in the tri-state area. I have been going to him for years. All of my cars. He did the back window in one piece(alot of people can not do this). He also tints all the way up to the edge on door windows. I got a 35% autolux. He used some new gel over the dot matrix, it looks great! And for the navi people out there, Has not been affected one bit!. Anyone in the area wants to have their windows done, let me know. I know you will be happy with his work.

I had my 03 Antracited tinted last week 35% all around. I wish I would of opted for 50% on the sides, its' too dark for my taste. I don't have Navi, so no problems here. The guy did a perfect job for $189.00, and left all windows in and did not peel back the door panels either, rear glass was done in one piece.
He states he will change on the side windows for $80 to 50%, which is a good deal, but on dont want those tint monkeys beating up my car to remove tint off 6 windows. If there was one scratch on my interior from an errant razor blade, I would go nuts!!

SSS I got it done by a place in Edison, NJ. Called The tint shop. No one on staten island can tint..... My guy does a great job. He has done every car I owned, with the exception of my maxima, which I had done on SI, I peeled it off a month later lol.

I recently had my front windshield tinted with 50%. It looks great, and still easy to see out of, night and day. It will keep out more heat, and protect the interior, too. Recommended.

Hmmmm...sounds good to me! I think my front would look tight as shiznit with it tinted! But it's illegal as a mother!
What's the lightest tint that's around...anybody??? If I could get it light enough to the point where it's barely noticeable, I would do it.
