How much would a normal tint cost? I've called a couple of places and prices vary significantly.

Second question: Should I vinyl wrap my roof? if so how much does it typically cost to get something like that done in a gloss black finish?

thanks
:thumbsup:

Yea I like the dark look but not too dark I want people to be able to see at least a silhouette of me sorta haha and what benefit does that tint have that you currently have on your 86, was it more pricey?

You know the windows already block 100%uv. It's something vehicles in the US have been doing for several years now

If you want a dark tint, yes it's illegal. But you can tint the front windows if you are not going for a dark look. You should look up what is allowed so you know what to expect, and not just get a BS "front window tint is illegal" ticket without knowing what is actually allowed.

I loved it so much, I've subsequently spent $1500 on two more cars with the same tint.

I got mine done at Tint Master City in Canoga Park. Great service and turnaround time (I waited in their office while they worked on my car).

I only did the front as the rear on my car came tinted (25%) from the dealer. I want to say that I paid like $125 for the 30% front. I have had this set up on all my cars and have not had an issue with police. Ever.

As far as wrapping the roof its your car so if you want to do it go for it.
