Title: Tint Time - Post your Tinted Cars w/ Tint % and Maker of Tint
Post by: 14SHOCAR on May 20, 2015, 12:08:44 PM
Now that I have somewhat of a stable build for my SHO, I'm tinting the windows. I'd love to see different pictures with the tint % and maker of the tint. Wisconsin tint laws are a little more strict, but I'd be willing to go"barely illegal".

My main concern is that i want the tint to look black. I see some tint colors that fade to this blue-ish/black tint color. I'd be willing to pay more  $$ for quality.

TNT Tinting in Madison is awesome. I went 35% all around. I'll have to take a pic of it later on.

I do.  35% all around.  It was done when I bought the car so who knows what brand.  Who ever did it sucked though and there are a few small bubbles in it.  I would have made them redo it if it was me.  I will post a pic after work.

So you haven't had any "issues" with the tints?

Thanks, just make sure you use an experienced tint guy. These cars are a pain since the glass is buried behind plastic.

Technically I have a prescription for it so they can't write me a ticket. All my cars have been tinted and when I was younger I would do 5% all around. Back when I was a bar fly I got stopped for it a lot which was a nice way to stop me from attempting to drink and drive. Now that I go 35% and I'm not out cruising around at prime DUI time I haven't been pulled over for it in 8 years now.

20% I think, it was on it when we bought it. I've been pulled over once and the old lady has been pulled over twice for it....no ticket yet.

55% VLT front... 35% VLT rear and sunroof (3M). Also tail lights with Lamin-X Charcoal... No problems... Pulled over once in two years, but no paper issued. You can see through if you get close. This pic only shows reflections in the visible glass.

New Az laws do not limit anything but windshield so I may redo the windows with 30-35% VLT all round. I have had a truck with 25% all around around backing up was dangerous at night. Of course we have a camera and the sensors, but it can't see everything.

I used Johnson Insulatir 20% window film due to that is was ceramic and the fact that it's the only one that allows 100% signal transmission for my radio and Escort Max 2 detector.
