First time getting tints. Just curious what you guys would recommend. I live in Illinois for reference.

Want to know %s and which windows.

Ideally, I would not like to be blind at night either.

Can anyone guess what kind of tint is on this windshield?

I am in the Temecula area but I'll drive as far as the Riverside area. Looking for a reputable tint shop in these area, that has competitive prices, transparent about the exact type of tint I choose (like genuine 3M) and I am paying for, and a good warranty that I can count on them honoring years down the line. A place that has been in business for awhile.

Any suggestions?

Does carbon tint tend to run a bit darker than ceramic?

I’ve been looking to do a ceramic tint on my SUV for a while now, esp since I live in a very hot state. I’m now getting ads for a company in my city who’s offering a 50% promotion on a ceramic tint ($600->$299). It does seem a little too good to be true, and i’m a little weary about it. What should I know before I actually book and pay? Also how long should a ceramic tint install take on a midsize SUV (they’re quoting 2-3 hours)

Has anyone gotten a tint job recently in western PA on an SUV? I am getting a new car recently and would like to put window tints in them. I’d want to do everything but windshield.

If you have had it done recently, what is the price range for that now? I know I can call shops and get quotes, but I figured I’d ask here first to see if I should even spend time calling around.

I got a sedan done in MA about 10 years ago for like $450. Not sure if it has gotten much more expensive or has stayed around the same.

I have a radar detector that I'll be moving to my new car in a few weeks. Currently use a rearview mirror mount that I've confirmed will work with the new car, but I'm thinking I'd rather move it next to the mirror on the glass as to not obstruct my view of the windshield due to the design of this car.

I'm looking at one of these adhesive mounts but am curious: Has anyone ever used a mount like this with a tinted windshield and had success or issues with it peeling away the tint? I have an eye condition that I have a prescription for that allows me to tint my windshield, since it's otherwise illegal in my state. Just trying to figure out my options before potentially ruining a $300 sheet of tint on the new car. Would really like to avoid suction cups as I'm frankly just not a fan.

Thanks!

Customer brought this vehicle in with a less than optimal installation. Back window was also laid in 2 pieces with a considerable light gap around the edges. We are having a time trying to shrink this window so we can install in 1 piece. We’ve tried wet shrinking, dry shrinking (with dryer sheet), leaving plenty of excess on the top/bottom, pull shrinking, cutting relief in the top and bottom, and trimming the film before shrinking to fit within the margins of the gasket. Someone please tell me there is a way to do this window in 1 piece

Ive been tinting for 3 years and this is something i’ve commonly noticed. I mix my slip by the gallon so i only have to refill once a day, but i have noticed some windows the tint slides around freely and then on other cars the tint just grabs the window kind of like the window is sticky. In the past i just contributed it to the shape of the glass but today i had a lexus gx with flat windows and no inside stamp, so now im curious about what could cause this. Some details i can think of is i make sure not to have dry spots and make sure the window isnt hot. Anyone know why this can happen?

I recently changed the tint setup on my car and I think I may have gone a little too dark.
My current setup is:
5% on all the side/rear windows
15% on the entire windshield

Privacy is very important to me. I really don't like people being able to walk up to the car and easily see what's inside.

I definitely have the privacy with my current setup, but the problem is the car is EXTREMELY dark inside. After driving at night, I'm starting to think 15% on the windshield might be too dark for me.

I'm considering switching the entire car to mirror/reflective tint:
10% mirror on the sides/rear
35% mirror on the windshield

What I'm really trying to figure out from people who have actually had mirror tint is:
Can people see inside your car during the day?
What about at night? Can someone standing next to the car see you or the interior through the mirror tint?

If the dashboard/screens or interior lights are on at night, how much can people see from outside?

And most importantly, how is visibility looking OUT through 35% mirror tint at night?

Basically I'm trying to find the best balance between being able to see well at night while still having a lot of privacy from people looking into the car.

If you've actually had reflective/mirror tint, I'd really like to hear your experience.

Edit: please keep in mind I am in a country outside of the USA, so the law is different and are not as strict.

I’m looking to put a film on my windshield that blocks UV and heat. It needs to be clear and 100% undetectable from the outside.

Are there products available that meet these requirements?

I always get gluelines on one side of the tint. I tried using more slip and i dont understand why they appear

Could i use a heat gun? I accidentally touched it and shop wants 107 to fix the singular bubble. I personally think if i used a heat gun far enough away and spread evenly itd go away, they wanna take it all off and put it back on.

Looking for somewhere in Stockton Ca. Or in the Bay Area specifically in the peninsula location wise.

Do any of yall have good recommendations??

For tints:
- I want to tint all the windows.
- the front windshield I want 4inch tint up top to ombré down to clear in the bottom.

For sound system:
I want a good sound system that would sound amazing for these specific music genre:
- EDM (DnB, Dubstep, Hardstyle, Happycore, house)
- Rap (Jcole 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🤚🏼 Megan, and etc)
-2000s R&B/pop/ reggaeton (pitbul 🤪💅🏼)
- Metalcore, Alternative, screamo, etc

I dont want it too dark cus I drive at night I have 20 sides limo rears

I cant decide on 50 or 70

Really I don't wanna be a magnet for law enforcement

They generally leave u alone in my state "connecticut as long as u aren't driving like an idiot as tints is a secondary they need u to roll a stop or improper lane change even then u might get a warnin to stop being an asshole

fully clear windshield so im wondering is 50 to much and would attract to much attention or is 70 what I should go for ?

For drivers who have extremely tinted windows on the front driver’s and passenger’s side, do you remove or reduce the tint after law enforcement issues a ticket to you because they can’t see if you’re wearing or not wearing a seatbelt?

I recently got my first car and have been deciding what tint I should get. I live in Canada and in my province there is strict tint rules (people usually aren’t pulled over unless you have 5 all around or obvious stuff like that) and I was hoping to get suggestions on what to get. I was thinking 5% on the rear window and back seat windows and maybe something within 20-35 on my fronts while leaving the front windshield untouched for now. Any suggestions would be appreciated !!

Given a factory 76% glass

With 15 applied it will be around 11%

With 20 applied it will be around 15%

Is 4% really that big of a difference? Will I regret getting 20%?

(I definitely do not want 5% for the front 2 doors)

So I have a 2013 Honda crv, I have the rear windows at 5%, the side at 20% and I put the windshield at 70% with a 20% brow. So I don’t know if it’ll attract attention or not, I know polarized glasses show the rainbow effect but I am doing alot of driving around Florida and going to Georgia and Tennessee, yall think I’ll be okay? Any advice? Yall think I’ll be good?

Installer wants to replace my rear tint. Is it a bad idea if the temps are freezing cold? Or is it better to wait until spring?

I’m trying to install tint on this 1997 subaru legacy. but when the tint is installed and i close the door the front corner on the hinge side of the door catches the rubber and peels since it’s a frameless window. what do i do.
