Light?Medium?Dark? Tint - anyone?

[amerikim]

I am curious to how tints are working out for the users here that have them.

I was thinking of doing back and sides but I am more curious about people who have tints feel about them after a while. Especially after a year or two. You still love them or are you thinking of removing them. Bubbles, sags, scratches? Your chance to vent or praise.

What quality tint product should I be asking for and how much should I expect to pay for a 4 door Camry?

1st- Research and find Tints shops that do good work in your area(Look at the cars they have tinted)

2nd- Check your local laws so the cops don't find another reason to pull you over

3- I think dark tinted windows make a car look better, but it takes some getting used to when you driving at night

when i had my car i got all windows tinted...back, small triangle window, back passengers an fronts i got the backs limo tinted which is 5% tint and the fronts at 15% which is one level down and I LOVED it an the bubbles go away after a week or so. and um......make sure you don't get the entry level tint cuz that will turn purple after a year. get the good kind i think it's got some sort of metallic shit in the film that makes the black last forever. mine for a 4 door camry was 230 bucks. hope that helps

I will take that advice while shopping.

right now i have 20% on all 5 windows, and a 5% 9 inch windshield strip.... looking back after a few months wish i would have gone 15% on everything and maybe even 5% on just the back window... honsetly it is a little dark @ night with the 20%, you do have to get used to it, can be dangerous if you are not careful, but i like it lots and am used to night driving.... made my car look soooooo much better imo btw, i got good quality tint done for $200 with a lifetime warranty for any cracks and bubbles from tint crafters

^ i wish chicago allows me to run 5 window tints. but i'm only allows rear 3 and a 6 inch banner. i'm planning at getting them at 20% but i dont know many places in chicago that i can really trust. Most of them seem like average shops.

Would there be like a site for feedback or locations of fairly good tinters? I would figure they might have it. since they have everything.

Right now all our vehicles have either 5% and 3%. I really don't see the difference between the two, but they are both hella dark at night. sometimes i gotta roll down my windows to see stuff.

Go to reputable shop, and get a warranty

i love the dark tint on my car looks good in day light and awsoem at night. takes some gettign used to( i sometimes roll down the windows to see when backing up) but youll get it

i think you should go as dark as local laws in your area allows, you wont regret it

Good advice! I have 35% (legal limit) and wish I was darker, about 20%.

I have 35% on my dark green Camry, but I'm gonna go with 5% on the rear windows soon.

Thanks for the help on my tint project

i got a 35% tint on my car and i wish i would've gone with 20% instead. It still looks good in the daytime with my black leather interior but just a weee bit darker would've been great. black, on black, on black. looks real clean. i can still see fine outside though. the laws in MS allow only 35% but the cops down here don't care about tints. my friends got 15% like it's nothing with no problems from the police.

Check the general discussion stickies. I believe there is one about tints.

[amerikim]

Whats the level of tint they use on car ads?
I don't think they are limo dark as you can still see in.
