Just wanted to show you guys my new window tint. Got it done at a Ziebart near me for $200. The legal limit in MA is 35%, but I went with 30%; it looks a lot better. Shhh...
I just got a verbal warning on my tint. 50% all around. Legal limit is apparently 70% in the front. He measured it at 40% the jerkwad. They were dirty though. 70% is like clear ffs.
70% limit, WTF? I do not want to live where you do. LOL The sun is freaking torture here in the summer, I am 35 front and 25 everywhere else which is legal max here. We get pretty high UV here and I never knew how huge a difference a good UV blocking tint was for interior temps until I tinted my old VW about 8 years ago. Since then I don't have a car a month before hitting my tint shop. Makes the AC feel about twice as effective. I should get a tax credit. LOL
mfarn, the car look SWEET!! Love that look.
In Minnesota you can have 70%. I had 30% on my 04 and was pulled over once. He told me that is was illegal that was that. Alot of cars up here tend to have 30-50% without much a problem. From what I have heard you may get a tint ticket if you are pulled over for something else. i.e. speedig
Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm not too worried about getting pulled over. It's only 5% different from legal, and all the cars where I live either don't have tint or are pitch black.
Remember they don't test your tint, they test your window. That includes both your tint and the window's natural tint. No window is 100%. You put 30% on, your window's probably 20%.
No, the place I went to actually puts on a specific percent tint to make it 30%. Like they said to make a window 35% they would put on 43% tint because of the factory tint. So I don't have exactly 30%, but it should be close.
:shhh:I got 5% all the way. Had to sign a disclaimer saying I know it's illegal. A little too dark when backing up at night. Other than that I love it. Had it 2 1/2 years and only got one verbal warning once when I was rearended by a f-250.
Your car is looking good mfarnham! I also got my 2009 wrx tinted last week, 35% front and back and 20% on the door windows and I'm really impressed with the results. I asked help from http://www.TintBuyer.com. They provided free relevant information for tint buyers such as its benefits, prices, laws involved in my state and most importantly they help me locate the best window tinters near my area. I hope this one helps, thanks !Thumbs Up
