got a gift certificate for tinting

I just got a gift certificate for getting my car tinted. I don't know what to do.

I love the look but its illegal to have the drivers side front and passanger side front tinted. But I do not like the look with only the back tinted.

I just called them and they will not give me a refund for the gift certificate.
So that means I have to have it tinted.

The gift certificate is good for any kind of tint, I just don't know what to do.

What exactly do they do when they tint it? Is it just that stick on purple plastic stuff(that looks cheap and peels off) or do they coat the glass with something.

Hey Im in jersey to and have all my windows done. I would suggest you do something like 35% in the rear and 50% up front or 50% all the way around. The cops don't usual mess with your unless you,re doing something stupid for them to notice you. The new inspection is now four years for new cars so you won't have to worry about that either. I have 35 all around on my accord and have no problems. You also have to consider the color of your interior to the darker the color the darker the tint will appear. When I went to acura the dealer my friend talked to had a NBP with ebony interior and 50% around and it looked as dark as my 35% so you need to watch that. I also agree with you to all the windows or none. Good luck

^^ I agree...all or none..I've seen nice cars with 20% on back and no tint at all on the front windows..it ruined the look of the car.

Read the Benefits of Tinting .... maybe that's why a lot of us do it.
GlobeHeat rejection and a custom look for your auto are the two outstanding reasons most people consider auto window tinting. In the last few years several of the major manufactures involved in making window film have gone to great expense in developing a product that gives heat rejection rates of over 60%. These high performance products, usually referred to as reflective, hybrid, metallized or metal films, generally carry a lifetime warranty against turning purple, bubbling and peeling, as well as a special scratch resistant coating. The scratch resistant coating can protect your investment from every day use of rolling the windows up and down. Along with the enhanced performance and warranties available with quality metallized films, you can also be assured of the great custom look window tinting will give your car.

Glare reduction and protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays that harm you and your car’s interior are also excellent reasons to purchase tinting. Whether it's the blinding glare of the sun or the friendly interstate tailgater, tinted windows can be an answer to the problem. Medical experts and auto upholstery technicians both have long known what the damaging UV rays from the sun, even on cloudy days, can do to our skin and auto interior! NO MORE - - today's quality tinting materials eliminate up to 99% of these UV rays before they can get into your auto.

Tinting has always been associated with increased security for your auto, what a thief does not or cannot see usually will be left alone! Recently, some window film manufacturers have introduced safety tinting that can strengthen your windows to a point even a baseball bat wielding thief will have a tough time breaking into your auto through the windows. A somewhat overlooked safety aspect is in the event of an auto accident, window tinting can help shattered glass hold together helping to prevent it from spraying the inside of the auto with sharp splinters of glass.

Last, but certainly an important consideration in your decision to purchase tinting, would be the years of comfort a quality tinting product will give you and your auto. Dollar for dollar, window tinting for your car improves the looks and protects your interior better than any other aftermarket product available anywhere!

We need to stop talking about buying and selling in this forum. Please conduct your business by PM so the thread can stay open.

Not that there's much left to say about this.
