Window Tinting....

Just a quick question. I have never paid to have my windows tinted before, because I have seen some REALLY BAD tint jobs in the past, I just curious if you can recommend a brand of tint over another or is it really just the installer that does most of the Magic?

a place down the road does 3M tint, I am wondering what the recommendations are for tint levels on which windows, etc.

thanks!

M.

Try running a search for "tint". There is a lot of info already posted.

Name Brands Only

Stay with the name brand high end tint and you shouldn't have any problems.

Huper Optics - expensive but great heat rejection. My choice...Live in TX
Lumar - Had Plat Plus on my 02 TL-S
3M - Had smoke on old 92 Integra

Does your car have nav? If it does there were a few post about having to use high end ceramic tint vs. the metalic ligned tint. Do a search im sure you can find them. Supposedly in the owners manual it says something about this.
