So... after a month of having the TL i finally found a shop, recommended by my cousin I went in yesterday to get it done.. so im a happy camper but then right now i just remember about how people were talking about the rear window how the quarter part(?) should be tinted as well.. but i forgot -.- so i gotta take it in again.. and tell them to do it... but heres some pics 20% front and 5% back...





my heart hurts looking at the gray part.. lol

What's supposed to be done to make that gray part disappear?

i read some threads.. they say the rubber(i think) can be lifted and you need a lot of soap and etc. to put the film in...

The rear quarterpanel doesn't look bad imo but the TL looks good! idk why but when I had 5% in Florida, you couldn't see inside AT ALL compared to yours

Looks good even though there is the little gray part there. I'm unsure if that is 5% in the back because I thought if you had 5% that people weren't able to see in and I think I could see in. It could just be me though.

maybe i took the pics too close?? its prty dark from far away tho.. lol

The shop that did mine didn't tint under the rubber and it really doesn't bother me enough to get it re-done. But then again I have 35% and it's not really that noticable.

5 percent in the back is dark but not total blackout- its still getting 5% light transmission thru the glass, and at night with an interior light on.....
there is no such thing as privacy in public

That is true but my 5% was wayyyy darker than that. I mean I could have my nose touching the glass and i wouldnt be able to see anything really.

oh and

Your rear tint does not look like 5% at all. I have 20% in the front and 5% on the rears, although the this is a side angle picture, you can still obviously see the difference

lopopo

damn...thats frkn dark if you cant see inside even if your that close...but i guess thats what 5% suppose to do?? i dont know why mines so light compare to so many of you guys.. [edit] i guess i might take a second visit to the shop and have a nice chat w/ them

Evader

My rear tints are so dark that even when your face is up to the window you can't see shit at night even during a bright sunny day it's next to impossible. I had a more reflective tint put on my rear window for when people high beam me etc it just bounces off, but it's still 5% and darker than shit (thank you acura for the rearview camera)

Yeah haha but if you like it, leave it. Haha I ran into this metal cylinder backinig up oncein the dark and left a nice gash in my bumper that i had to get fixed They sucked in the dark but looked awesome! Here's a pic from back in the day



Yeah I agree with Evader People high beaming me was barely any darker than normal haha

lopopo

ahah damn that ferrari is AMAZING lol but the car beside it is better ahaha well i guess its okay w/ me since my neighborhood is like cop hang out zone... esp around my school..

haha yeah it's nice. and you're probably better off leaving it the way it is now unless you REALLY want em that dark

I had 15 in the front and 5 in the back but when I was checked for how much I had it was 2% in the rear and 9% in the front...hahaha so idk

lopopo

ye.. i also read about how 5% is a pain at night when you are backing out a parking spot or something so i guess in a way its better lol

Guess that's when the rear view camera shines!!!!

I have to put my window down at night when I back up to make sure I don't hit anything. Sux, but I love my tint! (20%)

lopopo
