Well I am totally stoked on the tint, what an visual impact difference.

This is 3M 20% Color Stable in high sunshine. Depending on the viewing angle it is pretty much non transparent.

Also decided to do the B pillars in 3M 1080 Black Carbon wrap in anticipation of doing a wrap on the roof and see if this is the way to go.

Total install cost was $240 including the carbon wraps thru Lynx Customs Ltd*|* here in Centennial Colorado.

I can highly recommend these guys for the professional and super friendly service.

Suntek CXP 18 on the sides and back and CXP 70 on the front.

Unless you are very skilled, and have tinted many cars, I would not recommend this. I have tinted, and re-tinted my Grand AM many times, and still would not trust myself to do my $40K Z lol. However, if you want a place to get pre-cut kits, check out tintstuff.tv. The guy who runs it is Matt Blackmer, he is a good guy, and will give you a quality product. They have many types of film they sell, from the cheap dyed junk to quality 3M products. Whenever I buy film from him, i usually get the ASWF (American Standard Window Films). It seems to be nice, and easy to shrink.

20% all around and 35% up front

riding fence here guys. I went to talk to tint today, they said if im on the fence with 15 and 5, just go 5 cause its not transparent at all anymore so whats the diff. Ive had my last 4 cars all 5%. Also, they recommended air blue on the front windshield, I think its 85%, baseically clear. Thoughts?

Say bye to the already limited visibility!

15% rear and maybe 20% front.

So I go in Friday for my tint! I bit the bullet and told them 5% all the way around. Don't know how the cops will feel about it, but knock on some wood here I only ever got 1 ticket in the last 15 years of having limo tint on my windows here, and that was cause the dude was mad when I had no drugs In my car....idiot cop. I don't even do drugs!! Ill post up pics Friday!!

You getting anything on the front windshield? I got 70% on the front of mine and man it helps so much with glare from headlights. If I don't tell someone there's tint on the front, they have no idea.

They recommended air blue on the front windshield. I think its 85% tint or something. Its a Llumar product. I will have 5% down to the ap1 line though so I guess I will see what they suggest and go on from there. I went back and forth with 5 or 15 but in all honesty once your that low, its hard to even see through so theres no point to just stay at 15, and black limo on red is so sexy. My first car I bought in the day was red and I did limo....wow it looked great:)


Update: Tint installed but its kinda sort dark outside so I will take pics tomorrow. It is flipping DARK haha:)

Ok guys, here ya go. 5% all the way around. Front windshield has the llumar air blue 85% tint. The 5% limo strip will go on next week after the tint has dried out.

i dont understand the tint laws for my state... it only says sedan and suv!!

I looked up louisianas tint laws and from my understanding they use the term sedan to describe any type of car since a van has different legal tint limits. A coupes tint level must be in compliance with the law written for a sedan. I hope that makes sense lol.

Tints
 

So got the windows done today, 20%/35%/50% with a 20% visor. All Utah legal, sigh. This is my daily driver so I decided not to push my luck.

20% sides and back

Curious to know how they tint the back hatch window. I am getting mine done next weekend and I really do not want them climbing in to the trunk area and doing body damage in the process.

The guy that did mine was super careful, I didn't even have to say anything. Find a place that has a window or will let you watch and express your concern up front if you feel the need. I searched for and read a lot of reviews online until I found the shop that I was comfortable with.

Thanks Madwi, I am always in "their" presence when doing something to my car or cars that I have owned in the past or present. My fear as it has always been is that they do some minor damage in the process. Fortunately, I have used this company before for tints and clear bra so know them relatively well. I was just curious how they do the rear window, perhaps tint it from outside?

gotcha, I didnt notice what they did on my car, I was looking at head units lol

Llumar CTX 30% sides & back.

No tint & after tint. 20% on all the windows.

Comply with Texas law at 35% transmissibility.

Here's mine..not a really good view but 10 on the sides and back glass. 5 on the little windows or whatever you want to call them and 5 strip on the front windshield

So I got quoted 120 bucks for tint. I asked about ceramic tint and that was 300 bucks. You guys think its worth that much more money?

I paid $300 for Suntek CXP. 18% on sides and back and 70% on the entire front windshield. The CXP is not their ceramic product but it was more expensive than the ceramic.

Going with Huper Optic Extreme this week. 200 bucks for 20% all around, except windshield.

30 Sides 20 Rear Will post pics soon!

Illinois is quoted legal at 35% all around minus front windshield however my city seems not to care much of tints (I often see Chrysler 300's with ridiculous rims rolling in limo tints...)

-Anti color fading
-99% UV protection
-Stops 60% heat
-Anti glare in the rear
-$250

Had the same question and they do just in fact jump in the back... Got it back and the carpet mat and liners were all unaligned and rolled in on themselves very disrespectful to at least not just fix it

I just got mine done. 35% front two and 15% in back.. Darkest legal in Florida :) 3M tint. 245$ after everything.
