window tinting

[kk52736]

sgryzko, take them off yourself before taking it in for new tint, just take it off and use a razor blade to scrap clean the window.

Go 35% all around even the front. Looks good and not too dark at night and cops can still see you inside.

My research

<o>I am looking to get 20-35% tint on the rear 5 windows of my P5. I already have a lightish tint in my car.</o>
<o></o>
<o>I called a number of places in Calgary and this is what I found out. To save money I am definitely going to take out the old tint myself.</o>
<o></o>
<o>Which place should I go with???

Well I had 35% on my front windows and limo on the rear set and that was pretty good. I recently got pulled over and given a ticket for having my front windows tinted. It was a $52 ticket and yes it is illegal to have the front windows tinted. I still have my rear tint on though.

 

[sgryzko]

Do you remember where you got them tinted?

So how much is it to tint 3 windows? 2 back and rear?

Is this for all windows? Or just 3? I'm worried about legallity issues concerning tinting all windows... I don't wanna get pulled over and stuff like that... Especially at night when the tint makes it difficult to see inside...
Thanks in advanced for any info... I really want tint too lol.

Well.I have just been pulled over a checkstop and if they were gonna write me a ticket for my tints..that was the chance there. So go 20% all around.

 

[MidnightDreamer]

What u guys think'll go well with silver? Silver on silver's kinda cliche... I saw silver and blue... but that looked kinda funny...

 

[Kona Bear]

With silver, going with a faded blue tint would look interesting. Like anything else I would have to see it done before deciding. Photoshop maybe? You could always go with the old faithful, black.

what the **** where?? where??? where???
here in edmonton they ******* charge around 200+ up to 300$.... where is it so cheap for tint?

 

[sgryzko]

This place i called sounded kinda sketchy. They do have a 3 year warranty but they sounded like the place that would make lots of excuses about warranty. Ex. I called the actual Love Your Car place and they told me to call this Wally guy. I couldnt really understand Wally and he seemed like he was making prices up off the top of his head.

Anyway I called a bunch of other places in Calgary and I found the best price for lifetime warranty was $199.99 and this was from:

20% is perfect see the pic in my car for sale link below

 

[sgryzko]

Very nice. How is visibility? Ex. Backing up in the dark?
I think 20% is what I should go for but maybe 25%

 

[hawaiiannights]

I don't even notice it there.....its really a perfect shade and i've had cars with 35% and also 5% tint before....its a good balance of vision and darkness. In the day you can kinda see through like in the picture but at night it might as well be as dark as the 5% looking in. But looking out it not dark at all.

 

[MidnightDreamer]

sweet ass... thx for the heads up...

so it'd be cheaper for just the 3?

That price includes tax right?

 

[Talrum]

Have you guys tried shadow tint in calgary?? they told me $179 for the back 5 pieces of glass and $249 all around.

Has anyone been ticketed for having 30 tint in the front?? I am trying to decide on wether to tint the front or not.

Go Flames!!

 

[sgryzko]

30 tint in the front??...

Do you mean 30% tint? Because I thought you werent allowed any tint. Anyway, I dont know of anyone being pulled over for tint in the front. The cops dont seem to really care. But if you are doing something wrong, say speeding, they might throw on an extra ticket for the tint.

Also, I have looked at shadowtint and they seem like a quality company.

Have you seen their website?

I had 35% on the front and I got a ticket for it plus I had to take it off. I had it on for a year so I guess I got my money's worth.

How much was the ticket? Did you remove it yourself? If so, how hard was it?
