OK, i know CWise has his tinted..i was wondering what type of tinits. I want the Charcol tinits not the black ones that turn purple after a while. I have those on my Civic and man what a pain to take them off...they are double tints ...what a bitch. Anyway Cwise what percentages...and what type of tints...(brand, and charcol, limo, titanium color etc) Thx...

Others welcome to advise as well! []

As a corrolary question, my dealership tinted mine before I took delivery (and without my asking...) but I have no details on exactly what was done. Apparently, they're automatically tinting all the coupes at my dealership. If anyone has any info on what Infiniti dealerships do for this, I'd appreciate it.

Ya tell me about it...hmm...is it dark enough semi?...

I like mine to be dark dark...no one looks inside unless i put down windows...

what the legal percentage for the front doors...20%...?

Cwise...looks very nice..i might put 8% all around...what you guys think? Thanks for tyhe brand name...you assume those are a good brand correct?

Is it dark enough? I can't really see that well out of the back at night, but you can still see in fine through the windows in the doors, which it doesn't sound like you want. I've driven friends' cars that were so dark I could see very well from anything other than the front windshield at night and I didn't want it that dark.

I don't know enough about tint to really compare it to anything though.

I prefer the black mirror, llumar tint...looks very clean, almost mirror finish on overcast days, and then black at night.

5-8 is great...just can't get the dyed ones like you mention...those are crap man...what did you do...you went to a shop and got them tinted or you bought the tints and then went to the shop...how?

how long does dealer tinting last? if the tinit is on the car when you get it, is it better or worse quality than other tint (i know most are equal).

If i get them from the dealer included won't bother i'll just keep them...

Tinting question: I was debating with a friend earlier on this...what does say 32% tint on the front mean? Is it (A). 32% of the sunlight rays are allowed in and blocks out 68% or (B). the tint blocks only 32% of the sunlight? or (C) neither? hehe

I believe its the percentage of visability...which in turn is the amount of light (rays ) let pass through the tint.

Yeah thats what I thought with regards to the percentages...tinting is a MUST here in Texas...gets too damn hot in the summer!

Cwise is right, it's the total light transmission of the film. Keep in mind that almost all factory car windows have a slight tint already built into the glass.

Cwise, is that glue new? When they tinted my CL they just tinted over the dots [irk] and you can notice them up close. How does it look with the glue?

If these dots are what I'm thinking of (upper rear window?) the tint job the dealer did on my rear window looks a little ghetto there. I'll try to grab a photo later.

 

[VQ]

The dots are on the top of the rear windsheild, and sometimes along the edges of the side windows. They're very hard to tint over. Sometimes the tint will not stay on at all, and just flap down. My installer did the best he could, but it still isn't perfect. I may try getting it done again with that glue that Cwise is talking about.

When I had my mustang I had problems a couple times with the tint even sticking to that. The tint place I took my stang too told me it was kevlar and hard to keep it sticking to it...much less fill all the dots to make it look nice...

Cool site. Looks like I could even do the glue method after already tinting... maybe I'll give that a shot, or see if an installer can do that. I was thinking about having it cut where the dot matrix starts and then painting like they say. I was always worried about the mess.

The tint on my girlfriend's mustang looks like ass in the back. I assumed it was just a shitty dealership job, but I'm guessing she had the same problem.

It is sooo much cheaper in Florida than Georgia, I will have to wait until a Florida trip.

Hey cheap ass (Gardiner), there is a place in Forsyth were we live that did a fine job on my current ride. It's right next to the Meal House/Nappa.
