I am going to get my windows tinted next week and I havnt decided on what shade. I was thinking one darker than legal. Is there a difference between legal and darker than legal? Have you guys had any problems with tint? cheers

My BA is getting tinted on Friday. 60% heat and glare rejection, 99%UV rejection, lifetime warranty for $290. Better than the original quote for the exact same film for $350 at the same place.

I used to have darker than legal on a couple of my cars (20%) but now I'm a bit older and wiser I figure it's not worth the hassle with insurance company if u have a stack and they want to find a way out of paying your claim.I got legal tint on my XR and with the black interior it looks pretty dark anyway. Remember if you are tinting windows on a BA/BF, the radio ariel is in the glass and some tints,I think metalised, can affect radio reception.

Perfect timing! I have the GT booked in for tint with my usual 35 side 20 rear which does come up to slight illegal but down here they never check. Anyways I am now told my radio reception will take a hit because of the metallic tint on the rear. Just how bad is it?

Yeah i had my Xtrail tinted. They did darkest legal tint on doors, however for the 3 cargo area windows they did darker than legal to minimise public viewing of my boot. Was done with recipt, and lifetime warranty.
Someone correct me if im wrong, but i think your allowed darker than legal on cargo area's and rear window. Obviously its called darker than legal for a reason but.... |
