I have 20% in the rear and backseat triangles, 45% in the driver/passenger windows, and 70% on the windshield

Looks Good, It's amazing what a quality tint will do for the looks of a car! Price?

It's very steep but I only wanted the best for this car!!!

400$ for the rear, side, and front windshield, I got a 70% film on the windshield with a 20% strip on top

It's awesome because I feel like even though I tinted the car, visibility got better!!!! It's also very easy to see through the tint compared to some cheaper films

mrlewistan 02-05-2013 11:34 PM

I have 20% all around and a 20% brow on the front. Not as bad at night as I thought either. I don't remember what brand my tint guy used but it comes with the same warrentees you have too.

On a side note: am I the only person who immediately thinks Atari when I see the jl audio logo?

I am the ultimate JL audio fanboy, and I happened to love my atari growing up, maybe my subconscious somehow linked the two :lol:

not like these guys, this isn't the entry level wincos film I've experimented with multiple films in the past and this is by FAR the highest quality, I have noooo regrets about the money I spent

I paid 300 and I love how it turned out. Its definitely durable stuff if you do a close comparison to cheap tint

yeah it would have been 300 but the front windshield is what put it over the top a little, they had to measure the strip with the 20% cut it out, then match a 70% under the strip

I guessed that was what happened lol did you have the door window tint filed to the edge or does it have the standard gap

to the edge, it looks factory!!!! they didn't file it at all, you should see this guy's steady hands, he is damn good with that blade

Freeman 02-06-2013 01:43 PM

Looks great. I was really confused when I saw this thread, up here in the NW Winco is a grocery store lol.

Slartibartfast 02-06-2013 01:50 PM

Looks great!

I am debating doing my windshield. 70% is likely almost unnoticable as being tinted, but will provide UV protection for the interior and reduce heat build up on hot sunny days.

But, what worries me is night-time driving. Do you have any trouble seeing at night. I know it's only 70%, but still thats 30% LESS light getting through.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

sol740 02-06-2013 02:04 PM

Looks great. Too many deer out where we live for me to do similar though.

honestly from the inside out you cant tell the difference, just blocks oncoming traffics headlights, i live in the suburbs where it gets preeetty dark at night, the key here is using a high quality tint

45 on the sides will look very light outside during the day. Does the law over there allow no tint on those windows?

the sides only look light because of the light coming in through the front windshield, it actually looks pretty balanced, however i DID want to go a little bit more conservative considering i'm usually up to no good :party0030:

Sean-SRM 02-06-2013 08:33 PM

sounds like many things, you get what you pay for.

wbradley 02-06-2013 08:40 PM

I'm glad your wincos are working out for you!! :lol:

I paid more for the better stuff too. What sold me was a demo of regular film and upgraded film with a heat lamp shining through it. The good stuff blocked almost all the heat (IR).

Ha! I was thinking the same thing, who the hell gets tint at WINCO, lol!

White64Goat 02-06-2013 10:29 PM

So, is tint on the front windshield legal in CA? It's not here in Md.

Is window tint on Aisle 4 or Aisle 5? :bellyroll:

oldpueblo 02-06-2013 10:38 PM

So are you going to re-tint it every time a rock chips your windshield and you get it replaced? Might end up pretty expensive in the long run.

tint goes on the inside of the vehicle

jflogerzi 02-07-2013 01:12 AM

In CA tint is illegal on the front windows correct?

Doesn't matter when rocks chip and crack the windshield and you replace the entire thing.

Andrew360 02-07-2013 01:32 AM

Can you post a photo where the two films meet on the windshield?

luuser75 02-07-2013 02:16 AM

for the rear...what did they do about the third brake light?

Just gotta make sure it works again after they take it off. I know people were having problems with it when these cars were still new

blackraven1425 02-07-2013 03:14 AM

I wish tints were legal here. Lucky bastards!

I've had mine off several times, as long as you don't break the wires in the back and remember to plug it back in you should be fine.
