@stranger things stock is already at 80% or so. I went with the 55% suntek cxp and I am happy with it. I value night vision and being able to scan behind me is needed. 80% x 55%=~44% TSER includes the darkness of the tint, so darker isn't actually much more effective, it is mostly for privacy. Tint the windshield if you want the most effective solution.

But if you don't like the look of darker tint, you might not want to get darker tint. Although I think the darker 35% looks noticeable and nicer from the outside, you'd be surprised how little difference there is from the inside between 35% and 50%. |

Looking for some advice here - the tint shop that I spoke to uses 3M films. Price ranges from $100 to $300+. The differences are the type of film and duration of full warranty (labor + film). Here is the breakdown:
$100: 6-month warranty $160: 3-year warranty $200+: lifetime warranty (including labor but only applies to that specific shop) 3M film (even the most basic type) should be decent quality and last 10+ years, right? Have you had professionally installed tint failed within 10 years? Which option would you pick? |

Just ordered some Llumar Ceramic tint and I'm going to attempt doing the job myself for the first time. Been watching a lot of videos and ordered tools as well. Feeling confident about the venture. Has anyone else done a tint job themselves?

35%, VersionEx Autobody here in Eugene.
Aesthetically I wish I had done 25% or so. Legal 35% because I have a job that doesn't play well with tickets. Last edited by maslin; 05-23-2019 at 04:50 PM. |

Anyone here have to go back to get a window or two redone? I just got my car tinted with Huper Optik Ceramic 30% and my drivers side door front quarter window has a piece of sand stuck in a bubble. It's not major but it's on the drivers side and I can't stop noticing it. My passenger side rear quarter window has a bubble with a piece of lint in it, hoping it is less noticeable once all the tint bubbles disappear in the next couple of weeks.

Custom Grey Tint that is like a factory tint that is embedded in the window. No need to worry about it coming off or anything like that. Isn't too dark which is great for states like Michigan that have tint laws and also allows you to use film tint to get even darker. Also had a lot of scratching on my door glass from the window guides so it was nice to have a full replacement glass.
Window Brand: Brads Auto Glass Tint % 35 on the door glass and 20% film on the back Website: https://bradsautoglass.com/fr-s/ Cost: $260 Shipped for the custom tinted door glass |
