I'm getting my windows retinted soon because it's starting to peel. I have the original reciept from the previous owner from 1999, but I can barely read it and as far as I can tell it doesn't say what percent I have. I believe it's 35%, since that's the legal limit. I want it darker, I'm thinking 20%. So post up some pictures of what you've got!

 

i think mine are 35%, and on stealth i think it was 30 or 25%

 

5% all around

 

not sure what % but i think around 30% on side windows

 

they are DARK very very dark..... old pic though now she looks better than then and performs too

that is the same tint on both my cars in the pics..my friend did them for me and it is not normal auto film. it is used for office windows and stuff. it is a 25% mirror film. it is not that crome cheap crap you see on cars. on a rainy day or over cast day you can see how you can not even see in the windows but then depending how the light hits it you can see in to. i always get compliments on it all the time but it is horrible when it is first put on. it takes a while till it looks good but its all worth it in the end. when he puts it on it has bubbles all over and with it being reflective it makes it look worse. but after about 2 weeks when it dries all the bubbles go away...it weird...lol.

 

yo you have a butiful car man.... makes me wish i went with the roh's instead of the y2k's where could i get that tint and do you have other pics of it ?

 

i have tons of pics with the tint...lol. the tint is made by solar guard. and it is the stainless steel 20 film. a cop tested it for me to see what it actually was and it came up at 24 or 25 point some %.

do cops give you hell for it? is it hard to see out of at night?

 

How do you have them tinted? does some special place have to tint them or do you us that stuff you stick onto the windows? How much does it cost?

 

86Iroc Beautiful car tint is sharp

 

limo tint all around.

 

Hey I really like the tail (or rear spoiler, which ever it's called) did the car came with that or did you put that on? if so where at can I find one like that? I've been looking for a rear spoiler like that for a long time
and here's my car, its not a very good pic and it was semi-dark that day, the windows were already tinted (all the windows except the front window) they look pretty dark, but thier not that very great, but people still cant see inside of the car till it comes to a complete stop.

 

thanks for the compliment on my car. the wing is aftermarket. you can get it at hawks third gen for i think it was 300 bucks. its the 5 inch wing. but beware of the wing. some people have had no problems with the wing and some like me got a piece of crap and had to do quite a bit of work to get it to look good. as far as cops go no. i had one who didnt even think it was tinted cause all he seen was just a reflection. didnt even realize it was tinted. it is a normal film that gets put on the window like normal tint but this stuff is not really intended for cars...lol it is a little thicker film but no difference on how it is put on. just takes longer to dry and longer till you can put the windows down. i can see pretty good at night out the windows. if you look at the one pic of my scion you can see through the front window and out the passenger door window....you can see the differance. its kind of like a one way window. you can see out well but hard to see in...lol as far as the cost...my friend does all my stuff for free or for a case of beer...lol. but its 175 bucks for a car done like mine with that tint or any other tint. he doesnt charge more for the stainless tint. now if you have to buy a role of it i dont know if it cost more then normal auto film or not.

 

what is the actaul name for this tint?

 

86IROCTERROR-that solar tint is badass....In rhode island they are REALLY strict on tint..our law is 70% light transmittance(which is nothing) I has 20% on my camaro..but within 2 years it landed me in court 3 times . Do you have any info on that stuff..let me know

 

Do you guys use the stick on stuff or is there other ways to get your windows tinted? Thanks

 

I'm lovin' those rims, I think the tint looks kinda weird with the gold emblems though, But still man, nice car.

 

Here is mine

 

the widow tint on my car is made by solar guard. it is there stainless steel 20 film. go to there web site and it is under home and buisiness tint i think. thanks for the compliments on my iroc everyone....but she is not even close to done yet...lol

20% on the side and 5% on the rear

 

Do you have any pictures of your car you can post, and maybe some pictures of the side windows? That's the % I'm really looking at getting.

 

does any know what the legal tint % is in toronto?

 

I had the same thing Bill has on my old GTA. When I do my Camaro, I'm going to try and get something darker on the sides but use 5% on the rear.

 

35% for the sides and the rear can be as dark as you like.

I have run 20% on the sides for 15 years and never had an issue.

 

Some pics

 

thanx project...ill just tell the guys to go as dark as possible without getting intoruble from the cops

 

5% all around. I've gotten two tickets...$109 each.

 

how do cops know if the tint is too much

 

They have this meter that goes on either side of the window, it sends a beam of light through the glass and measures the amount that makes it through. That being said, what has happened to me the past two times is that the cops will bust me for something else, like speeding or "traveling in a non-existent lane" and then will throw in the window tint ticket as well. That being said, the tint laws in PA are ridiculous. All aftermarket tint is banned, no matter what the percentage. Up to 70% factory tint is allowed on the REAR windows only. No tint is allowed on the front windows.

 

that honestly sucks!

 

Thanks for all the pictures guys. I'm working on getting the old adhesive off right now. Now I see why the tint shops charge $200 to remove the old tint, this sucks. I dug out the original reciept from the previous tint and it was 35% like I thought, so I'm going to go with 20% this time. I also finally got my car fixed from someone backing into me, so once I get the new tint installed, I'll post up some pictures.

 

See sig.. 35%

 

Why is tint so illegal if its darker, What if some one has serious skin problems with the sun? I think its a reason for the state to make money. I know it aint that much.Just my oppinion

 

yea you got it, thats pretty much it, they claim its so a cop can see if you have a gun or what not on you when he is walking up to the car, but my dad was in law enforcement and said, if a guy is going to shot you he will do it with or without drak tint, and with or without this rule and that rule its just a all around crap so here i go, im fixin to raise my flag....
..... thats what it is

 

Im always down for dark tint, but check yur local law for tint % before you re-tint.

Most cops won't harass you un less theres something shady bout your car, or if they have nothing to do, or if their a rookie that jus graduated hahaha.

Like I say "ITS LEGAL TILL YOU GET BUSTED" & " IF YOU CAN'T BE GOOD, BE GOOD AT IT"

 

I am sure that the tint laws are to get money, but how many people do they actually get to nail on it? I would bet not very many. Think about it, if you are a cop walking up to a car, would you feel comfortable not being able to see the drivers movements? The driver could be loading a shotgun for all you know.

I honestly don't see the point in 5% tint. How good can you see out at night? Its not like someone is aiming the sun right at your side window all day and if any light comes through, your car will melt.

I am going with 35% tint on the side windows. It cuts down on a lot of sun, but won't cause to many problems seeing at night. I am also putting louvers on the back instead of tint. A bit more pricey, but looks good too.

 

I know that 20% smoke & 20% stainless are awsome espicially when its overcast out side , you can't see in the car unless you walk up real close. I have had 20% stainless with 5% behind it. Its like driving with a mirror, people use to hate me driving in the sun...hahha, sucks to be them.....
