I just got windows tinted today on my car, the shop was recommended by the dealer.... and they used FORMULA ONE film. well this shop got a good reputation and i asked them like several times about moleskin... and they said they dont install it and my car wont have problem. I know some of u will flame but i went w/out moleskin and we'll see if i get problems in few days, the shop said if anything happens, just bring it back but they haven't seen any problems with 04TLs, btw this shop does tints to like MBs, BMWs, and etc... so well anyways i'll take pics 2morrow.

oh yes and i got 5% in rear and 50% in front.

Where are pics, Jatt?

Experiment? I like this idea, please roll up and down at least 20 times per day. (I have no "moleskin", either.)



Formula One is good, non-metal/ceramic tint?

Teh Jatt

yeah i'll take pics today..... and plus my i need to take it back to so they can put the 3rd brake light properly.

stay tune

Where the pics, fool! You sleeping in or something?

Beautiful PWing. One post to say what he did, another to say pics'll come later, and finally another when the pics actually show up. Maybe even one for each pic. At least three posts where a non-PW would only have scored one.

That's a long way of saying:

I was @ club last night till 1 something and then my friends, cousins and I went to one of my friend's house where he had few strippers over so well i got home @ 3:30 and came online to check few threads and then i woke up around 6 something. Dont worry pics are coming soon, i washed teh car yesterday and its looking good.... once again stay tune.

Jatt, good pics and tints. No problems with Navi or Radio/XM so far?


BTW, u'r sure CA cops won't give you any trouble with that tint, right?

Teh Jatt

rets, no problem with NAVI and XM and cops can give me trouble with front tints but its 50% so some of them wont bother, 5% in rear is fine, thats legal.

jatt, i haven't installed moleskin either. i stuck my finger inside to feel the inner lining and it didn't feel rough at all. just got the car tinted today so i'll have to wait about 5 days (just to be safe) before i can experiment.

Spryster

After having my windows tinted, every once and a while I have a problem with the NAVI. I thinks that I am in some other city, near where I live, but totally wrong location.

rets

I don't want to Jatt's thread, you may start your own thread and state what tint/film you're using. If it's metallic, you may get some interference.

But, if it happens occasionally, it may be caused by your locations...

Navi receiver is around the right-rear deck.

Teh Jatt

oh shit......... then i got problem...... since yesterday the navi is acting lil weird, its always somewhere else.... and after driving around for 10 minutes it fixes it self. It happened before once or twice before but nothing like this, i've seen this like 5-6 times since yesterday... damnnnnnn now what?

i'm gonna ask the shop on monday if its metallic or not..............

cM3go

we need to work on your photography skills sala

bklynpanman

the 2 different shades of tint look terrible together...

Aegir

Your car looks great.

Teh Jatt

no body responded to metallic tint.... well i'll be making a call to the shop 2morrow.

more good pics are coming soon!

Teh Jatt

Teh Jatt

btw i know ya'll are jealous of my car's headlights

VelfarreClubber

Im not = ) but why did you black out the silver color ring around the headlights? i think it looks better w/ it

Teh Jatt

yeah that ring around the HID? yeah i wanted it silver and forgot to tell the guy who did my lights....

and i know ur jealous....

cM3go

i'd be jealous if you left the silver ring around the projector, but since you didn't... meh :P

VelfarreClubber

Jatt if you do the angel eye mod you can paint it back to silver! honestly in the way it is.. just looks ghetto

Jatt you need to find out what type of Formula one tint they used. They make 3 diffrent kinds I believe. I know 2 of them for sure. 1. Is a heavy metalic that usually has a life time warranty. 2nd. Formula is "Pinnicle" brand new stuff and it is ceramic cost more than the other. 3rd, is there Dyed tint They claim it wont fade but most people claim it turns purple after a few years in that CA sun. Hope this helps. Im in a bind myself there are only 2 formula dealers near bye, 2hours away. Neither of them install Pinnicle so now I have to find a place that sells ceramic tint. I hope this helps. If they give you some crap show them in the manual were it says about metalic tint. They have to make it right.

Looks good. I have an appointment for next wednesday to get my 04 TL done. I'm going to go with 5% in the back and 30% in the front. BTW how is your visibility with 5% tint?

Teh Jatt

^ it was good... but now i dont have the tint, they removed it cuz it got all scratched up and i was having problems with navi too, now i'm going to order felt and then get non metallic tint.

and yes they refunded my money

VelfarreClubber

Wheres the pics of the strippers posing on the car?

Teh Jatt

^ yeah damn i should've done that.........

Jatt, had my windows done with Formula 1 Pinnacle (only shop in town). I went with the ceramic instead of the mettalic because of issues with reception. Cost a little more, but what the heck. The owner told me the same thing about moleskin. They haven't had problems with the rears, but only on the fronts. I rolled them down several times and have not noticed anything yet. I did find couple of bubbles and gonna get that taken care of next week. I went with 35s on the rear and didn't get the fronts done. They only do a clear on the fronts (CA Law). I want to get something light on the fronts and will have to find another shop to do that. Any hassles from local law enforcement or HP on your tint? BTW, your ride lookin good.
