I'm considering getting some tint on my car and I've been looking at a few websites that show various cars with various levels of tint, but I'm having a hard time deciding how dark I want it.

Could any crossfire owners who have had their windows tinted please post pics of your car in addition to the level of tint (30%, 40%, etc). I definitely do not want it blacked out, but I would like to darken it a bit. I;m currently thinking about 30% or 40%, but would consider others.

Thanks!

 

I thought that said taint at first.

 

You were just checkin out some **** weren't you??? :-)

 

Any tinted roadsters out there as well?

 

Check out the pics in my gallery. I have 5% on the back window of my roadster, and 20% on the sides. As you can tell in my pictures, the sides look pretty dark. In shade or at night it's basically like looking at limo tint (5%), but when it's sunny out or when the sun is directly hitting it, you can see in the 20% pretty well.

As far as looking OUT of 20%...I've had it on all my cars and never had a problem with backing up at night. I love it.

 

This is the best I have to show you. The tint was already on the car when we bought it (lease return). But you can see the tint on the open door window. We really like it.

 

 

I bough a set of precut tints for my car. Does anyone here know how to install that can provide directions?

 

WOW... I love it, what % is that? It's awesome. I can see that on my car

 

Oh..............tiNt........... damn.


Saw FP posted in here and had a different idea about what I'd find on this thread.

 

You can do other things on computers?!

 

LOL!

Lurker!

 

I think it is 20% on the sides.
I know for sure it's "Medium" tint on the doors and Limo tint on the hatch window.

 

FP.. I did the same thing a "few" times.

It's not worth it. You'll never shrink the back right and chances are you'll **** up the sides as well. I believe you have to use a heat gun on the side windows.. as my tinter did that as well..

I'll snap some pictures tomorrow if I can.. I have 5% on all windows and the back.. looks awesome I think and I love the privacy..!


But FP.. if you want to try here's some "starter" tips..

It's something I tried 3 times.. and i'm not really an idiot when it comes to these things either.. by the 3rd time it was tolerable but definitely you could tell it was a "DIY" job..

I then paid a professional 125$ to do it out of his house using high quality film, and I would never try to tint a window again..

 

what he said,


if you botch up the rear window with the defrost lines that means time to get a new window you can tear up the defrost lines.

if you want to practice do the front windows and side windows but you use a mixture of like soapy water and get it placed right and then use a heat gun and squeege to get the bubbles out and lay it right.

if you do a good job on the front and sides a shop will charge you $50-$75 to do the rear and it is well worth it so you do not have to worry about bubbles in the tint.

 

Here is a pic of my old girl with roughly 20% high performance carbon film....

 

Here's my dearly departed with 20% all around.

 

Hey John,

Is that an ansa that I see? People complain about the tips being small and or not looking as good as stock but they look pretty sweet on your car. I kinda like the different tips. Cant wait to put mine on!

 

 

Ours is Limo tint, the darkest we could get do to Fl, law.we had a ruff time getting it done here in SC as they do not permit tint that dark.But they did because we still have Fl.tags and a Fl. address,had it done this dark because of our dog, Keeps heat out great and no one can see whats in the back.we love it!
