i've done the research and i've found a place i'd like to go get my windows tinted for my 6th gen. the only thing is i didn't even realize there were different brands of tinted windows
which one is the best brand to use?

 

i have Llumar with UVShield on mine.

 

Hands down, Madico black tint for onyx Maximas. May be a little hard to find shops that use it though.

 

I been using SolarGard since 1980. There HP series film is one of the best. That being said, There's a few good brands to choose from. What you really need to know is the quality of the workmanship and if they give a "lifetime" warranty. Two things that I would look for is, how clean the shop is and what the finished job on a customers vehicle looks like. It's very hard to do a perfect job, but it should be close to it!
Remember..You usually get what you pay for!!!

 

okay then
what would you consider to be a good price for tinting
so far i've gotten quotes from $150 - $180
does that sound about right?

 

I use only Llumar Stealth Tint. This stuff is the best! Its a mix between a black and reflective tint to give dark look without being noticed as having tint. Its very good for here in PA where all tint is illegal. I've used it on both my Maxima's and the Z. A few pics as examples:

35% all around



5% w/ 35% on windshield

 

that's just the type of info i'm looking for, and wit pics at that
thanks hamy



ooh, another thing, how much did you pay to have it done at a 35%?

 

I paid between $150 - $200 if I remember correctly.

 

that sounds about right
the only other thing now is to decide whether or not i can get away with doin a 30% or a 35%
some ppl on nycmaximas are telling me that 30% is the legal limit in my state

 

I also have Llumar with UVShield on mine and just got it done today actually.....I asked the people and they said for the front windows the legal tint is 70% and the rest can be whatever....I live in NY also. That being said I went with 20% all around. paid 200+tax

 

hmmm
hopefully you won't get any tixx mouse
i'm gonna do 30
i just need a reliable spot close to my house to go to
you would think it wouldn't be a problem getting a referral from another member considering how many max owners are in NYC

can anyone show me some pictures of their max's and their tint levels
thanks

 

I paid $157 for all around minus front for Sungard in 35%. You can def notice the tint because it reflects, but it is very light and night time driving is no problem.

 

I sure hope not....I was going to get 30 or 25.....but they didnt have it there ....oh well.....it doesnt look too dark....I can still see through it.

 

5% in the sig and cardomain. I paid $170, but I don't know what brand it is. It has a lifetime warranty...

 

I paid just a bit under $200 for my tint windows with 35% on the front 2 windows & 25%-30% on the rear 3 windows, and I think my brand is the SolarGuard or something with Solar in it.

 

quick question dont you have the stupid inspection stickers that go on the windshield? how do you get by with that?

 

Is that your house in the back?

 

PA does have inspection/emissions stickers in the lower left of the windshield. They are under the tint. Kinda a pain, but its only a once a year deal. I'll just have the windshield re-done in the spring. That is unless the man gets to me first. Also that was my house till late Dec. when it was sold. Way too big for a young guy. My fiance and I just built a much more reasonable place closer to work. I took a huge hit with capital gains taxes this year so I learned my leason about moving so quickly. Anyhow a few ORG members have been by and can vouch for me...so i'd hope no one calls BS. Enough about that...back to TINT.

 

Probably a little more expensive than I should have paid, but it's the going rate in Rochester at this time: $220 for 20% Llumar "High Performance" (supposedly "blacker" than regular tint, but I figured do it once, do it right) for all windows including a windshield banner.

 

Llumar is the only way to go

 

mmm, Llumar seems teh way i would go, somewhere around 20-30%...friggin jersey

 

mighty mouse

what tint level did you end up getting?

 

If you come in under $200 your doing OK

 

3M, the premium stuff but can't remember the specific product name. I got 15%

 

20%......hopefully I dont have to pay too many 50 fines for it

 

i;ll do 30
hopefully i can do it today
how long did your store tell you it would take 2-3 hrs?

 

i have 20% and no problems with the pigs

It was a very nice house, I hope you got a good deal out of it. I wish I have grass in front of my house.

 

I have 3M Color Stable 20% all around, I paid $140


How can I attach a high resolution pic in the forum?????

 

i'd like to know that also

 

Solargard HP 32% here. Wish it were 20%, but I just did not want any hassles with the law... anywhere. It has been on the Max nearly 4 years now, and it is still as perfect ... in color and in bubbleless installation... as the day it went on. It was the BEST $180 upgrade I ever spent on my car.

 

iight, i'm ready to get some tints. Looking @ Llumar Stealth Tint, same that Hamy has in 25%. Really want 20 but will play it a little safe and go 25%. Now where the heck can i find this tint at in new jersey?

 

There is a car shop behind a Mobil/Exxon gas station by the GWB in Fort Lee on Lemoine ave, across from Burger King. They quoted me $220 fo Llumar Stealth.

 

I got my tint done professionally 5% all arounbd 35% windsheild then 10 inch strip over that 5% http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...86_20_full.jpg

 

visit tintcenter.com for good info on a few brands / lines

 

Looking for a good tint shop in the St. Louis MO area. Any suggestions? Also looking for what others in my area paid for tint. Thanks for the help!
