Cruisin' on Oahu

[Kailua250]

Get my 4Runner back from the tint shop yesterday evening so I thought I would go cruising today and take some pics. Enjoy!

What % tint did you go with?

Where did you get the tint done and how much?

Nice pics, they look like they were taken on the north shore, close to Kahuku. Lucky you, getting to live on Oahu

The tint is FormulaOne Pinacle which is a ceramic tint. I got the legal limit, 35%. When I compared the tints at the shop, the Pinacle looked darker even though the light transmission was the same as the metalic and partial metalic ones. It matches the rears a lot better than I had thought since I read everywhere on this forum that 20% was the best match.
I got the job done at T&T tinting, their Salt Lake shop. I only got the front two windows done and it cost me $125. Their metalic tint would have been about $85.
While I was there, I also had them instal the clear bra. It coveres bumper, grill, front of hood (about a 16" back), fenders, and mirrors. I learned the hard way with my IS250 that it is one of the best investments for protecting your car's finish. It was a little expensive ($696) but that is much cheaper than $1000+ for getting the hood or a fender repainted.
I will have pictures of it once it has cured enough for me to wash it. I have to let it set for 3 days (tomorrow).

They were actually taken at Makapu'u and Bellows Air Force Station (Indicated by the red arrows) and I live in Kailua (blue arrow).
