Hi All,

I have a black-on-black '03 SE that I am looking to tint the windows on. Can all you guys with tint show me pictures of your car and let me know what percent tint you have (i.e. 50%, 35%)?

I am a bit nervous about the back window and the raised black bumps that are at the top. How did your tinter handle this and how good does it look? I'm especially interested in seeing pics of this.

Thanks,
DG

 

they didn't tint the part.. he just cut up until the black dots started... you can't tell.. i'll try to get u some pics...

 

I have 30% on sides and back. Look at my website for pics.
I was worried about the bumps too. They did the best they could. It looks bumpy but only if you look close. You can't even see it in the picture.

 

Go dark 5% limo. tint is over the dots on rear window. no big deal to me

 

Look at my homepage for pics - page 3. I have 32% sides and 18% rear window and sunroof.

In mine he went just over the first couple of rows of dots, and recommended not going farther because the tint may not look good (doesn't stick well there). The way mine is now, there's an outline around the tint on the rear window that's slightly lighter than the tint - looks fine to me. There is reputedly some 3M tape that can be used to black out that part.

 

20% all around...Tinted over the dots on the rear.

 

check my homepage for pics. have 35% all around. shoulda gone with the 20% though. that looks nicer.

 

I have 15% all the way around. He tinted up to the dots, but it looks fine.

 

35% all around and on dots

 

i have 15% all around he went just up to the dots dont go farther it looks fine cuaz the dots look like tint from a distance.

 

I have 28% Formula 1 tint all around. Tinted right over the dots and it looks pretty good. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go a little lighter like 35%. I say....be sure to go to a reputable shop and have it done. It's work the xtra $$. The dots can be tricky.

 

15% back / 30% front doors.

 

maximadave..your car with 5% is DARK!!!!!!!




mine on 35% I had 20% on my SE-R and i couldnt see ****. Darker is nicer, but safety 1st!

 

I have 20% all around

 

Thanks to all for sharing. I've finally set up an appointment to get 'em done. Feel free to continue sharing....

Here's a pic of how she currently looks:

Check out my page. 5% on the rear windows only.

 

You need to get your front windows tinted Jules, I dunno maybe its just me but it looks a lil goofy with limo in back and 100% in front.

Here is a pic of my car, 5% in back, 15% in front:

 

They tinted my rear window...and I got those bubbles up there..

Im a black on black 02 with 5% rear and 35% front..
The rear looks like the front now

I need a new shop

wow, finally someone else with the same wheels as me

 

Phatman-I know, I would love to tint the fronts but I really don't want the hassle with the cops. It is illegal to tint the fronts at all and I really wanted to tint the rear windows mainly to keep it cool and to keep the sun out of my son's eyes when he's back there.

 

I got 35% all around including the sunroof.
The tint-man tried sanding down the black dots on the top of the rear window and it doesn't look good now, but if I had to do it over again, I'd do everything the same just rear window and sunroof 20%.
Good luck

 

im going to have to agree with the 5% limo people, although i dont have pics of my car right now

if you can get away with limo where you live, it cant be beat...the sun could be blazing down and you barely feel the heat on your skin...plus its fun to watch people stare at your car trying to see whos inside, but they cant

the shop i went to put some opaque 3M tape over the dot matrix to cover up any spots or bubbles on the inside, looks perfect unless you go right up to it and scrutinize, very seemless job...i was very happy with mine

 

exactly!

 

here is mine

 

Check my cardomain site for pics. 20% front & rear

 

 

20% in the front and 15% in the rear...

 

damn ur shiet is low Danny....you must scrape everything!

I got 20% all around look at siggie

 

Yeah.. I have ot be extra careful when driving now. Gotta make sure I can clear ramps before I go on them.. The bottom of my front lip is all scraped up

 

uh oh....wouldn't wanna rip it off now.....how would your car be able to breathe underwater?

 

Easy.. I'll use your grill as a floatation device

 

 

PCGURU2K,
That is one nice looking Max. That's the best picture of your car.
