what % tint did you do?

Hi,

Getting ready to tint my 02. I live in philly so the sun is not as intense here. Anyone else please add to this tread "what is your tint and where are you"!

Thanks.... btw your car looks great with the darked out windows!

Looks great. I love tint but NJ doesn't. I have had to peel a few of my cars. Still keep tinting though

Looks great! How dark did you go on the windows? Could you have gone darker? ANY dots in the rear window?

Looks great! Can you tell me three things:

1. % tint on back window.
2. % tint on side windows.
3. How did they do the back window over the dots? Paint or film? If paint, can you post a close up picture of where the paint meets the film?

Thanks &

Thanks Chris. When you have time, you need to make your way over here again, replace your tint, and we can hook up and compare east coast bars to west coast bars.

Sorry I couldn't catch up with you this week.

Looks great! I love a good, dark tint on a lighter-colored car.

In fact, it looks good on any car, but the contrast against light paint really does it for me.
