Stupid question about tint
This is a really stupid question, but I am going to ask it anyways. I love tint on a car, but the last time I had a car tinted (qite a while ago) it looked great for a few years then started to bubble like crazy and looked like #$%^. So just wondering has the technology gotten any better? Is it still plastic film glued to the window?

Most places guarantee their work now, I'm not sure what the tint is made of now, but I've never had any problems with any of my vehicles that were done by professionals. So I would say go ahead and tint your windows. I can't imagine not having a car with tinted windows... lol

it's llumar, not lunar. both llumar and solarguard (sp?) are lifetime warranty for the film. a reputable installer will give you great film+labor warranty. it's not unreasonable to pay $200-300 for all windows for quality film and labor.

is the quantum tint part of the solarguard family? anyways i have had the quantum on my previous car for a few years and still looks new. i also have it on my current car. just don't get those cheap black tint that turns purple after a few years...get tints that have lifetime warranty so if it evers bubble up or fades you can have them fix it. i paid $240 for mine installed at a very reputable shop in so cal. it's also good to just keep the receipt in your glove box.

You had cheap 1-yr warranty tint on that is why it went... Had the same on my Max when I just bought it and had to have it stripped because it started pealing...
There is a great tint-shop close to Lake Ave and King St in Stoney Creek that does it well for good price (done 3 of my cars there). For premium tint you'll get the 10-yr warranty along with it too which covers the color changing, bubbles, etc... It's called Absolute Tinting, ask for Alex 905-664-3652... PM me if you need more details...

what tint is the best on the market? Or should I just go with the tint that has the life time warranty? And is $180 for 35%-20% graphite a good price with the life-time warranty and also $120 for regular 35%-20% tint with the same warranty....which would u choose??
Thanks

you should tint the sunroof...looks better that way i think i have 20% or 35% on my sunroof and i think it's good enough. i always just open the shade and tilt the sunroof...doesn't get too burning hot with the tint on there hah

ya i know what you mean haha i use to get paranoid when a cop is around me and i would just open up the sunshade. but now i just open the whole sunroof hah except on those cloudy days even opening the sunroof won't help...still can't see in =/

Just wondering if anyone knows the laws for CT? I don't know where to look for them online and I want to get it done before the weather starts getting hot. I've heard a few people say that it was 35% max, but I'm not sure if the front and/or rear can be tinted.
