where'd you get em done and how much?

mmmm sexxxxy

I know.


Oops, I need to update my sig.


Glad you asked Josh. Absolute Tint on Mission Gorge Pl. Its on the other side of the freeway from Qualcomm Stadium. 5 windows for $179. The three back windows have lifetime guarantee, film, labor, etc. Can't guarantee the two rollups because its illegal to tint them that dark (other than factory). Anyone interested, PM me and i'll send you the info.

do you know what type of tinting brand they used?

LLumar. The best you can find! 7 years. 99% UV.

LLUMAR is the Best...my friend Eric used to work for them.

Just FYI, if you're not familiar with California State Law, 70 is the limit for rollups, so what I have is definitely ILLEGAL. Be warned!

what about 3M Brand?

oh thanks for the info ...ur car is lookin good

i have 3m tint, the guy told me it was pretty good tint. it looks nice so im happy

so is it LLUMAR or 3M????

^^^money is not an issue when it comes to my tinting, as long as its the best.

Yea, real clean

in cali the front two windows can never be tinted.

i would put a (okay) tint on the car and not care how good the tint was if i lived in a area like i do which tint is not legal... why waste ur money one sumthing you will get a ticket for and have to take off?

you get tint you pay about 150 for the tint
then the fix it ticket is 150
and then to take the tint off you have to pay about 150

total : 450 about

waste of money you can get a exhaust with that money

but if you live in a area its legal get... the BEST SHIT you can buy is the brand "LLUMAR" like stated above.

^^ it's just a risk you take

most cops won't pull you over for it, but if you get stopped they will write you a ticket for it.

All you gotta do it get an optomitrist to say you have sensitive eyes, and get them to write you a letter saying it's for medical reasons.

so much better than stock...

I thought that you could tint the front/rollups 30% in CA.

70%

^^^True

I've driven past couple police and they just keep going. I have my footwell cathodes on at night too and I haven't been pulled over. My front lisence plate is off too and thats illegal as well (In California).


Actually I paid $179 for the tint, which is the best deal i got around town.

Fix it tickets usually don't cost anything, unless theres a fine attached to it (you're pulled over by a sheriff). Just take it to the police department and show them you fixed it. ticket gets written off.

To fix the windows, its $40/window, so $80 total.

Total is $260. If you ever see police and you get anxious, just roll the windows down.

california tint laws SUCK nice tint tho

just got my tint on yesterday. 13% all around. need to wash it and ill take some pics.

Thanks guys (and Kristen ) for the compliments. I'm so glad I got this done. It looks great, keeps my car cold inside, and I haven't been rolled yet.


Thats gonna be about as dark as mine. Pics when you've got them.

gotta wait till i get ahold of my dad's digi cam. mine still has a few small bubbles around the edges of the back window and also has a couple little bubbles on the side window...will these go away after sitting in the sun for a while or what. it think the place told me the bubbles will go away after a couple days but i cant remember. also what do you not clean the inside of the windows with? was it amonia?

Bubbles are not going to go away. They were just telling you that so they wouldn't have to fix it. If they're really small and unnoticable, I wouldn't worry. After couple days, take it back. If they have warranty or guarantee on their work, it won't bubble or crack or peel. If you have Llumar brand tint, you can clean it with Windex. The guy told me to wait a couple weeks before I cleaned then.
