i was wondering if factory tl has any tint on the windows? i am looking to buy pre cut tints. when i roll down the window i can see slight change in outside color.

 

I do not think that second gens did, but I may be wrong...Mine and my Dads both came w/o, and he bought his new back in 03...
I just had mine done a week ago today, and I couldnt be happier.

 

Just get it done. Tints are a LIFESAVER in the summer heat. That and a dash guard

 

mine didn't

 

yeah i know what you mean. It seems to be a very very very VERY little darker when you roll up your windows as compared to looking out with the windows down.

I was about to get my windows tinted yesterday. I wanted 35 back; 50 front to be safe because 70 is NYC legal limit for front and back so I didn't wanna risk it. And I have Jersey plates and Jersey is no limit in back and can't have anything in front. So either way I'm screwed. But I didn't do it because I didn't wanna risk getting 4 tint tickets.

 

sucks. as soon as i get my a/c fixed i'm getting 20% all around

 

factory is like 94% i believe. slight tint

 

finalcross know what i mean so can i tint the windows without removing anything?

 

You sure? There was none on mine...

 

i think Tom is right, i'm pretty sure it's somewhere near 95-97% factory tint in the windows. it's harldy noticeable but you can see it on a cool, humid day when the windows fog up. they're that slight green color

it is from the 3G side the the stock numbers will obviously be different

 

Even if they do its completely see through

 

but to remain legal in some states that small percentage is important

 

so my question is can i tint over the factory tint which is barely noticeable?

 

Any perceived factory 'tint' is in the glass itself...not a film tint on the surface of the glass like aftermarket tints.

 

i guess i can tint my windows... thank you jdjohn84

 

u can tint ur windows. but lets say the law only lets u have 20%tint. u would need 26% or higher tint to be legal

 

The windows come slightly, and I do mean slightly, tinted. My back windows have 20% tint and the front doors have 35%. My interior's black so that makes them look even darker.

For future reference, the word is tint, not tints!!

That's like saying feets instead of feet.

 

i was having a hard time not correcting them. it annoys me too.

 

^i got over it. tints sometimes slips out of my mouth and then i think to myself that i sound like a retard

 

Well at least you acknowledge that it's wrong. Admitting it to yourself is the first step towards rehabilitation.

 

an i need a whole lot of rehab. but rehab is for quitters

 

LOL When I referred to "aftermarket tints", I meant there are several types available (20%, 30%, etc.), so plural of tint. Would a salesman say, "We have several tint to choose from," or "We have several tints to choose from."?

 

Its TINT no matter how or where in a sentance u use the work

 

they would say "we have several different levels/types of tint to choose from"

you can say "matt tints windows" <--- verb
when describing window tint.. its always tint, singular, or plural.....

so to answer your question, no the salesman would not word it that way.

 

grammar session

*takes a seat*

 

 

 

I'm not going to die on this hill of proper usage of 'tint', but if we're going to talk grammar and usage, then I could start with your above sentence.
"Its" should be "It's" in this case.
"sentance" is spelled wrong.
I think you meant "word" instead of "work".

 

i was at work on my phone. i dont pre-read. just send and next thread

 

Well, ladies, mop it up and lets move on.

I dug out the window sticker from the car's info. My 2000 TL says, under exterior features,
"Heat-Rejecting Green-Tinted Glass". And it blocks the UV fairly well.
Personally, I'd think about resale value before plastering dark tint on my car.

 

how much resale value does a 2000 TL have left?

I know mine is basically worthless. but I love it :-)
