Wind Flectors and Tint

:
2002 Red Protege 5
Well, I wanted to get some wind deflectors for the side windows, the sunroof deflector, and some window tinting.

For the wind deflectors I have noticed that some people have them on their mp5s already, I was wondering if you could tell me the brand/part number cause I would like to get some. Also if someone has the sunroof wind deflector, I know that mazda makes one but I'm not sure if it is too much money for what it really is.

The other topic I wanted to discuss was that of window tinting. I want to go down to a respectable shop in a couple of weeks or so to get the windows tinted...law allows 35% on side windows and whatever % on the back windows. I was wondering what you guys spent to get the windows tinted, and if there are any tips you could give that would be great. I wanted to know things like what kind to get...(I hear there are three kinds of tint)...and if there is anything I should be aware of.

Your information is greatly appreciated!! Thanks guys/gals:)
 
Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for....Now if only I could get some prices you guys got for the window tinting I'd be happier than a "yak in heat"....(Simpsons)

(silly)
 
Since those wind deflectors are on the inside wouldn't that make the window tint peel off? I have a set from ventshade that are mounted on the outside of the window.

i dunno, ive never used spray- or film-on tint, just replaced w/ anodized glass.
 
The mazda sunroof deflector is only about $45US, which is pretty cheap to me... Mine came with it, but I took it off with the roof racks cause I wanted the car to look sleeker.
 
Anyone want to buy my sunroof deflector. I took it off of my car the minute I got home from the dealer. I'll take $25 plus shipping
 
i have the Auto Ventshade VentVisor (Mdl#94025) wind deflectors on my P5......uses double sided tape to stick it onto the door......so far no problems, easy to install, can buy it from the dealership too if they carry those. hope this helps
 
Thanks guys/girls for all the posts....I guess not as many people have tinted their windows as I have suspected...oh well.

Oh yeah and I think that "mitch's windflectors" look great and I'll get those...in a week when i get my darn credit card he he
 
I tinted my windows last week and really like the results. I went with 35% all around as that's the max legal here and I am not a real big fan of real dark tint. It cost me $260 + tax to have it done around here...tint is expensive in Seattle area for some reason. Here are a few pics:

Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for....geez that was pretty expensive...someone told me that I could get it done at the dealer for 300 and that was after their mark-up. Some cars it's 150, but seeing as how there are so many windows in this car. That's why I wanted to ask the price before I went to the tint shop so that I wouldn't have to pay the hospital bill when I fainted on the floor!!!

Oh yeah, I live in TX and they only allow 35% WTF is up with that it gets over 100 degrees in the summer at least make it 20%, whatever, I think I'll go with 20% anyways because I see cars driving around down here that you can't even see inside. 35% is too light, especially at $260!!
