I got a question...i just bought a 2k2 maxima Se gray lustre/black leather all options including leather....

Option 1: 50% mirror tint

Option 2: 35% regular tint

Option 3: 50% regular tint

these are all the windows front and back
except for the winshield...

please give me your suggestions and any recommended places to check out in the bay area, ca as far as quality etc...

 

Personally I would go with a little bit darker tint, especially since you and I have the same black leather interior and it gets hot in cali. Go with 20-25% regular tint. Make sure you get a lifetime warranty on the tint as well. I have 8% limo tint on all windows and I also tinted the top 10" of the windshield. Call around for your best price.

Yeah go with a darker tint then 35% like 20%, but if you have to get one of those then go with 35.

 

I agree with the above replies, I personally have 20% on mine and it looks real good. But if you are going to get one of the above, get the 35%, and if you can get the mirror in that, it would look good on your car.

 

yeah...bay area people always get pulled over with that limo tint...and plus i want people to slightly see my in my new 2k2 maxima

 

any bay area, ca recommendations?


anyone else have mirror tint...please post pics

 

I have black leather interior and my tint is 35% with 8% reflective. Have a look at my sig

Check out my homepage for 20%

 

bulldog...do ya got anymore pics...i think yours looks real good...how does the reflective %'s work

 

I only got one more pic, go to my homepage to view.
The reflective % is how much light is reflected by the tint. most Mirror tint is about 18%-23% reflective. 18% being legal in SC and anything above that is illegal. Full mirror tint is about 50% reflective, but I don't think you can get that done unless you know someone. The charcoal tint has about 2%-3% reflective capability. Any good tint shop should have a piece of glass with their tint on it, with a list of the % tint and the % relection. My car is only 8% reflective, on certain days the windows don't look relective at all, and on other days it looks like the pictures. Hope this helps

 

I don't have mirror tint on mine, but I have 12% all the way around, with 50% on the front windshield (and YES, I know that it's not legal). I like my tint, but kinda wish I'd gone a little darker. People can still see in my car during the daytime and while following me, but that's mainly due to the Max's big sized glass windows. My installer is a good friend of mine who has done about 8 cars for me, so I got my Max decked out for $105. Remember that in order to get "pulled over" for window tint, it has to look dark, and 35% doesn't look dark. Go for something a little lower, like 20-25% if you're worried about the cops, and even lower if you're like me and don't care. I live in Florida, where it's hot ALL Year Long. They don't care how dark it is (legal limit is 35%) as long as they can see the outline of your body. CA is like this, except for some smaller towns that need money. But note this, if they pull you over for some stupid violation, they CAN test your windows and add that to the fine, but in most states, they CANNOT pull you over JUST for your tint, they have to write you a ticket for something else first.
