Just got my tints done... 35 in front, and 20s on the rears.

Did your shop leave the brake light area untinted? I'll post a better picture tomorrow, but I have a taupe interior, and I think it looks a little ridiculous.

Wondering if anyone else's tint shop did that? If you're interested, I went to Speedworld in Queens, NY. A friend recommended it.

I'll call them tomorrow, or go back over the weekend. Or maybe I'll just take a thin sheet of tint and somehow place it there, I dunno.

 

I hate it when tint shops do that. Imma make sure they cover mine.

I see lots, and i mena LOTS of cars when the tint it looks like that. Quite a couple on these forums too

 

I told the tint shop I went to that I wanted it covered, he said that they got it in easily without a problem. Since I have a wing spoiler, it only made sense because the brake like on my spoiler would be the one to light up

 

They gave me an option so I told them to cover it...seeing the tint pieces computer cut was pretty dope too

 

Ive had the same guy tinting my cars since i had a Ford taurus 6 years ago lol and he never even asked he just does quality work so he always covers that area

 

Yeah, it looks so much better covered.

I'll call them up tomorrow. I always assumed they'd cover it. The brake light is pretty far back to leave it not covered. They did a great job though, no bubbles even when I pulled it out the lot. That was just the only 'flaw'

@ecko508 - your car looks great debadged. I might have to do that

 

Sure those look better cover... I wonder if you can still see the brake light? Im putting tints on my tsx next weekend. cant wait lol

 

Ya debaging really cleans up the rear end of the car, i recommend it to anyone who has a few hours and the willingness to get blisters on there thumbs

 

i will do the tint next week and i think i will have mine covered !

 

def. covered looks better

 

I just called them up, they said 100 bucks to re-do it.. pssht, forget that. They'd have to drop the rear-deck to get to it. Maybe I'll figure something out myself.

Any thoughts?

 

Covered definitely looks better. Is your interior color that gray color? I was thinking if the interior was black, would it look so bad if that area wasn't tinted?

 

Yeah, I've got that light grey (taupe) color. I'd get a better picture, but it's snowing out.

 

35% tint all around. i also made sure they did the back completely. it looks weird having the brake light section untinted

 

Did they charge you extra?

 

no $160 for everything

 

Ah, my regular shop will re-do it for 60. They're in the Bronx, if anyone is interested (Bronx Audio). They've done a good job for me for my last two cars. I should have just stuck with them.

 

They didn't tint it because it's illegal. They should have asked you, though, and then given you a disclaimer that if you get a ticket, they are not liable for it.

My shop just left the brake light bulb out (so that only the tail lights serve as brake lights), but I put it back in.

 

Bronx Audio sound familiar. They around Eastchester on a corner spot?

 

Near a corner, on Boston Road

 

Interesting, I didn't know that
