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.

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.
