Legal tint not bad

[T4R_Finally]

Daughter is taking the 3rd gen off to college soon so decided to get the front windows tinted today. Been wanting to do it for a while now. Had to keep it NC legal so had the guy install 40% (max is 35). Turned out nice i think. Makes the interior darker all around so makes the other windows appear even darker and the factory tint helps make the lighter legsl tint appear darker and blend better.

I cannot count the number of your posts I have read, hoping for a picture of your daughter.

Probably an out of line comment for an old married fart like me. If you are young and single, i dont consider it out of line until a certain level of respect is breeched. So a.wilson, not knowing that much about you or the nature of your request, this is all i am going to give at this point.

and this what i keep trying to tell my wife, boys or nothing, i can't deal with sitting on my porch with a shotgun trying to protect my daughter, being a guy i know what little bas****s we all are/were! haha

op: my new rig happened to have the windows tinted like yours and living in Washington it's not really that big of a deal to have tinted windows as it's never really that bright, but i must say it does make the rig look that much cooler! do you know what type of film they used?

I think A.Wilson has a point.. Ladies and 4x4 are a great mix... and second , it could be worse.... He could have asked for photos of your boys and their truck....HHEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOO....olice:

Back to the post, Yes I love your tint, I did mine the same way......

HAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Not 100% sure. I know they use quality stuff. A couple of satisfied customers referred me to the place and I had the same guy strip and replace the tint in my daughter's previous car because it was too dark and wouldn't pass inspection. It came out super nice and stayed that way. They had a banner hanging in the shop that said "Python Film" but I have no way to know if that's what he actually used or not. I'm taking my pickup over tomorrow to get the same thing done to it. I just got it leveled out and added new wheels and tires and I think the tint job will set it off nicely. This truck is 8 years old and I'm getting it ready to hand over to my son next year.

lol

I let my gf drive my truck every now and then. She tells me she gets all kinds of looks lol. Even when I'm with her and she's driving she'll get looks. It humors me.

Great looking 4runner and offspring. I hope she does well in school and keeps that 4runner safe!!

Someone with a sense of humor!

OP, I meant no disrespect, just poking some fun. Good looking girl though!

Also, the tint looks better than I expected... I may go legal some day...

I can perv with the best of them, but I can't imagine much participation in a "post your daughter" pic thread. Post the neighbor's daughter thread - and I'm in! LOL

Awilson - no disrespect taken, or I wouldn't have posted the pic.

The tint will help keep the interior cooler and looks nice but a side benefit will be that it cuts down on the road gawkers being able to get a good look on the road.

40% TINT!!! thats like factory light. they must be strict there. I put 15% over factory on my Yukon, and 15% on the front two, the cadillac I just sold had 5% on the back sides and 15% everywhere else, never had a problem once.

It's much darker than factory. My state is really cracking down on tint for some reason. State limit is 35% on front windows, with a 2% margin of error. I don't see or hear of people getting pulled over for dark tint so much - instead they are cracking down on the inspection stations. The shop I always use will not make an exception on tint. A friend of mine is a DMV enforcement officer and part of his job is to go to inspection stations, under cover, and make sure they are playing by the rules. He also told, though is he not a patrol officer, his boss has issued him a ticket book and told him to start writing people up for illegal tint. Not worth the hassle.

The reason for 40% is that most factory windows have some level of tint in them. If you put straight 35% over them, the combination makes them illegal. I ran into this with my daughter's last car and had to go have the tint ripped out and replaced with 40% before it would pass. And, with the other dark glass, the doors shut, and the sunroof shade pulled closed, it looks and feels much darker than it actually is, and is still legal.

meh fair enough, sure it looks cool, but druggies and people who shoot cops also like having really dark windows as well...i admit it's a bit over kill and you could go a bit darker, but if i was a cop i wouldn't feel very comfortable walking up to some slammed and duct taped 1989 civic with 5% tint.....

Word.

I don't get pulled over often, but when I do, I roll down my windows before he's to the door to try and help his heart out.
