window tint

Got my first row (front and passenger) windows done with 15% for $50 cash.

I took my wife's new Accord V6 in to get done up with 15% all around and that cost $130. Convinced them to knock out my front two windows for another $50. 100% lifetime guarantee for ANYTHING! Nicks, cuts, bubbles...just about anything and they'll re-do your windows no questions asked.

They plugged the year, make, model into a computer and pulled down a few feet of tint from the roll above this white board on the wall. Pinned it at the bottom and then a motorized arm ran over the sheet and cut both windows out from the film. The guy takes it over to the car, hangs it up on another board next to my rig, sprays it down with soapy water and then smacks 'em on the window and squeegie's the water out. Was done in about 15-20 minutes.

Same deal applied to my wifes Accord..but that took a lot longer due to the curved rear window. But it was amazing.

I remember back when I was in high school, we'd have to go buy a roll of crappy quality tint at Pep Boys and then roll it out onto the window and then use a razor blade to cut the excess off the window. Not only would it take 3 hours to do, but the tint would end up shrinking up a few weeks later leaving behind a ton of micro bubbles and a gap around the edges! :bonk: :bonk:

Gotta love this drive-thru world in which we live.

Yep I was one of those people. It looked like crap. I also got pulled over by a cop and received a ticket for this. Zero percent tinting in NJ for the front side windows :mad:
 
here in Georgia...as of June something...35% will be the lowest legal tint

glad I know a lot of policemen ;) *LOL*

I dont know what my tint is...I just told the guy to "make it match the back" with NO front strip...he's been tinting windows for over 15 years and he is VERY good...when I was 16, he used one piece of tint on the rear hatch of my 89 supra...back then, that was an impressive and expensive option *hehe* *sigh..the ol days*

I did mine today and looks just like yours. I wanted them all to match and screw the law. It's 35% for the front roll downs and any amount for the rest of the windows. Plus when you drive around my area 30% of the SUV's have them tinted the same all around and almost all the kids in their little ricer cars have them tinted to 20%. When I was a LEO I never ticketed anyone for tinted windows. Had better things to do then enforce BS laws :)
 
yeah, i think LEOs probably just use "dark tint" as an excuse to pull u over to see if u are doin anything worse (drinking...drugs...) or maybe if you are a real jerk to the LEO, then "illegal tint" is another thing he can tack on your ticket just cuz yer bein a jerk to him *haha*

I know people with daaaark windows and no one I know of has ever gotten a ticket for tint
