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

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

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

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