tint

whats a nice looking tint scheme on a h/b? i told the guy to do 15% all the way around.. (except the windshield..which is staying untinted..)

12% 3M Tint. Get Metallic tint, not dyed. Dyed tint turns purple after a year or so.

I have 12% on my G20, and will be getting my hatch done in a month or so. (maybe)

Speaking of tint, I wanna do mine, but am too cheap to go to a place and have it done, but dont wanna have pepboys shit and have it bubble like hell.

Does anyone have a how to on do it yourself tinting?

I say go Limo (5%) on the rear 3..
my front ones arnt even tinted, and they still look like they are!

i hope he's not putting that dyed crap on my car... thought maybe they gave up on using that crap.

yeah the rear 3 with limo tint looks nice.. but isn't it hard to see while backing up at night?

Looks like someone had a little bit of camber :p :o

i have mine 5% all the way around and i do alot of nite driving i can see out fine. Im thinking of doin 5 over 5 i saw a car like that and u can still see out fine

shit, 5% is way too dark, i am only gonna get my rear 3 windows tinted cause of stupid cops...... My friend has 20% all around and i can't see out the back at night....... So i'm going with 35% in the back 3 windows....

about seeing out at night, i had a 95 camry with limo tints (not sure the percent, but it was very dark) all around and it really sucked at night, like backing out of long driveways and stuff, i am thinking of getting very light tints on my hatch, my friend had that on his black 325is and it looked tite.

window tinting is an art. it takes time & practice to get bubble free results. start off by doing shit boxes not you own or you will be doing it a few times. leave the back window for last, you dont wanna fuck that one up if you got rear defrost. if you try it yourself keep the film wet all the time & be careful w/ the squeege make sure it if perfectly flat no grooves, that will cause scratching. good luck
