Post Your Window Tints! - Decision guide for the non-tinted!

VaGntlmn · 08-09-2010, 12:08 AM

I just had it done this weekend. Paid about $270 for:
Chrome 20 on the front windshield above the A-Line;

Chrome 50 on the front windows, and

Chrome 35 on the back windows.

PS: The legal tint limits in Virginia are 35 on the backs, and 50 on the fronts.

Thanks to all for posting photo's and other info related to tinting. I'm having my car tinted this week. I'm leaning towards 35% all the way around. I would go darker but I think I'm moving to the Jersey area in the next few months. I was glad to read that even with the strict tint laws in Jersey many of you have still tinted your side windows.

I will post photos...

I'd like to thank everyone also. I'm going with 35% all around along with 50% on the front windshield.

I went to two shops for pricing and this is what I was quoted. Quote included covering sides and rear.

Llumar CTX $279.99
Llumar ATR $204.99
Llumar ATC $179.99

3M Color Stable $239.99

Aegis $159.99

SunTek $149.99

I have read good things about both Llumar CTX and 3M Color Stable. But is the CTX worth the extra $40?

LLumar Tint 15%

TongMan · 09-04-2010, 01:48 PM

Yup cops in florida don't really bother you about tints unless it's the end of the month.

jennyt71 · 09-11-2010, 03:33 PM

35% all around

finished up my tint and got the whole windshield done at Shades of Gray in PA. Total was 300 for everything, 120 for windshield and 180 for the rest. i got 50 on windshield, 40 on sides and 20 on rears. it looks perfect, clean, and OEM. ill post a pic when i get a chance

SophiaZ · 09-17-2010, 11:21 PM

^ wow, thats kinda pricey I think. I only paid $60 for the sides, and $125 for back three windows plus windshield banner (and if I ever develop defects in the tint, she'll redo it for free

But do post some pics

FairladyZ10PG · 09-18-2010, 03:56 AM

I was quoted $225 for sides and rear, but I can get $100 off if I go with clearbra install too for $695 OTD. And it looks like 35% is the way to go. Looks perfect.
