Tint's (Finally)

Ok my first mod to my car (which turns 3 months on the 18th ) is Tints. After checking numerous places (NYC area) I found a place that was willing to do the job for a whopping (hold on to you seats) $120.00:wow: ....... plus tax. So needless to say they did my tints.. Good Job too if I do say so

20% all around. I wanted maybe 30%, because I thought 20% was too dark, and 35% is too light. (for me anyway) But the many places I visited told me there was no such thing as 30% Tint . If I'm not mistaken I've seen people on this very site that say they have 30% all around?? In any case It is done and I love the way it looks and I just wanted to share....

Nice, I wanted 20% but just wanted to avoid the hassle with cops. I agree 35% seems like nothing during the day, and kinda eh during the night.

I have 20% tint all around also. I had the car tinted within a week of purchase and it's also been almost 2 years now. The 20% is great, plus keep in mind that tint fades over time. My tint is definitely a little lighter than when i first got it.

BTW, where did you end up getting your tint done?
