See my post here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...7&postcount=22

I paid $180 for 20% all around on my BRZ with a strip on the top of the windshield.

They have come down on it. In Oralndo you can't take a car downtown with illegal tint without getting pulled over 100% of the time.

Had limo tint on one of my cars and got tired of being pulled over for it so I have been doing legal limit since them. It is also dangerous to go too dark, can't see at night when it rains.

I believe that the BRZ is delivered with 90% tint. If you go with a 35% does it make it a 25% tint or a 31.5% tint.?

Hey @Symbiont - mind if I ask where & what percentages you got?? Since you're local to me, I might actually be able to go to the same place, though, I don't wanna get ticketed if it's too dark... It's getting toasty in this heat we're having driving around without tint.

Ceramic costs 250-300 for the car and if you wanted to get really good stuff the Solar Adaptive Transition tint is 600+

Huper Optik would be the best if you actually care with Llumar being up there as well.

Cheap shitty tint that you could buy in a roll from Walmart would be the 150 stuff

BTW, they take the third brake light out during tint. I saw that asked somewhere up there.

You really don't have to remove the rear shelf to tint the rear window. A local shop did my BRZ in 3M Crystalline without doing so and there's absolutely no sign that they did not do so.

Yeah the thing no one is posting is the film they are getting applied. Just within the llumar line there are 3 main levels that vary by $150. I'm having mine done on Friday with CTX. 20% is legal here but it comes in 30 and 15% but I can't decide which I'd prefer. I've had 3M color stable 20% on most of my cars recently but want to see if the CTX blocks heat better here in the high desert.

35 front/25 rear

I haven't worried about the percents at all, but if I do feel worried, I'd just roll down my windows until they drive away.

Just gotta know what neighborhoods to drive your car through with the windows down!

Anyone have any advice or info on this?
FYI
there is no such thing as "factory" on a sports coupe or even sedans. only "factory tint" you can get is on SUV's and Trucks. if you got a coupe or sedan from the dealer with tint on it, it's aftermarket tint.

plus most cars without a window frame have that feature and any good tint shop will know about it so they make sure to go low when they tint those type of windows and also heat up the bottom edge more so it dries and doesnt peel when it does that.
