whats a good brand for tint material? anyone? also what percentage is legal?

 

wow, a lot of you guys got ripped off. I paid $195 (canadian) for 5% on the back 3 windows, with lifetime warranty. And these guys are AWSOME with the warranty. My sister got her car done there too, and for some reason, something keeps scratching a line in one of her windows, and they keep fixing it for free.

 

it just depends on the area man. Of course its going to cost more in cali than it will in some small town in the midwest....its all about demand.


A friend of mine got his DC teg done for ~200 @ 20% tint on all except the windshield, w/ a lifetime warranty. Looks awesome.

 

damn

It depends on what material they use too, they determine price based on how many windows you want done, single piece or two piece back window, percentage of film, and type of film.

I went with 3M Metallic 20%, single piece back window, rear 3 windows.
Homie hook-up?


3M

not sure what's legal out in NY, but in Cali you can tint all windows behind the driver as dark as you'd like but the front windows can only be like 85% I believe, which is damn near clear. You can barely tell a window that's tinted 85%, you have to like hold you license behind it and compare to tell anything. And the windshield you can tint only the top like 6-8", I forget what percentage.

 

3M is good.

search for a link to a site w/ a tint legality chart.

I tinted my 4drs accord, 35% front, 20% rear + rear windshield for 100 bucks total. Lifetime warranty.

 

They reguarly would have charged me 150 but i had a bunch of work done at the shop so they gave me a little discount. My insurance ended up covering it. (hail damage)

 

zeroseven what shop did u get urs done at, i need to tint mine, and where in KS do u live?? i want an illegal tint, 20% maybe 15 if possible.

 

mine cost $126 for 35% it's a really good job...but there are better shops. The best shop around here charges $175 for a 3dr. Integra.
