Pics of Black Runner w/ Tints

Does anyone have pics of the 4th gen. Runner in black w/ tints all around? Mine currently has the factory tints in the back passenger windows and the back windshield, but I'm thinking I'll tint the front two as well. I suppose I would do it the same shade tint as the passenger windows?

Anyone w/ pics?

Also, can anyone recommend a good place in Atlanta? How much should this roughly cost?

Thanks

I got mine done all around for 329. There are places that will do it cheaper, but they will use crappier film. The best film out there is Formula One. There are only 2 places in Atlanta that install it. One is on Cobb prkwy in Marietta by Life University, and the other is on Alpharetta hwy in Roswell across the street from the Honda dealership. It is called Solar Works and the number is
(770) 664-4100. I thought the guys there were very cool to deal with. They gave me a deal at 329.

Here is their website:

I used their top of the line film, which is ceramic, not metal. If you use a metal film on the rear corner windows, you will lose a lot of your radio antenna's sensitivity.

I hope this helps.
 
I had mine done at Hunt Brothers on Lawrenceville Highway. They do the 3 or 4 dealerships around there, BMW, etc, so they're obviously not terrible. Had 20% on front, and 35% added to back, and it looks great! Lifetime warranty, forgot how much I paid. Good luck!
 
I added 37% all around. They told me that 35% was the legal limit for the front. My fronts are now about 35, and the rears are about 20. Do you know any different? I would love to have my front ones darker, but don't want to be forced to take them off.

Unfortunately I don't really have many photos of my Runner clean, come to think of it I may not have any. Anyway, here are two that you can kinda get an idea of how it looks from different angles [ignore the mud :D]:

This is with 15% on the front windows and factory the rest of the way around. I paid $70 for 2 windows to be done.

I could be wrong but I was sure that there were quite a few photo on this site of people who had tinted their windows at various percentages.

Have you searched?

Good luck and post photo when your done with yours.
 
Because it's "illegal", they are supposed to tell you that they can only do 35%. However, if you insist on 20% they'll do it with the understanding that you realize that it's against the law. However, since you live in Atlanta, you know that this is not strictly adhered to. And 35% is too light for my tastes. 20% on just the front two windows look nice, the hue is uniform all around. However, I wanted my back windows dark enough so you couldn't see in them, and am very happy w/ what I have now. Good luck!
 
I had my passenger and driver side windows tinted to 35% which is legal in MO. The shop told me they would do 20% but only if i realized it was illegal. I think I paid maybe 50$ or so for the 2 windows, I think they added and additional 30$ for the 20% tint. The 35% doesnt match the factory tint, but it really doesnt bother me that much.
