sealy 01-18-2007, 01:41 AM What % do you have, where did you get it installed, and how much did you pay?
Wisconsin
Front Side 50%
Back Side 35%
Rear 35%
Are these numbers correct?
cobaltstg2 01-18-2007, 01:55 AM i got 15% all the way round
yellowcobaltss05 01-18-2007, 01:56 AM I have 15% but apparently I have 11% bc thats what the police officer told me lol. It only cost me $150 installed bc it was done illegally.
bc3tech 01-18-2007, 10:26 AM back 5%
front 20%
installed in maryland, now live in Minnesota
$180 for tint + windshield eyebrow
rickets112002 01-18-2007, 10:27 AM you have 11% because the windows were already slightly tinted
Mike06cobalt 01-19-2007, 12:29 PM I have 23% all around and striped double thick on the windshield. I paid 120 or so for all of it from a guy I met, can't get that dark in MN from a shop. Best of all...it's perfectly legal. I still get pulled over once in a while, but I have a doctor's prescription for it. Looks awesome on the black SS!
btw, check here for tint laws. tintdude.com
Cobalt_SSTuner 01-19-2007, 12:35 PM I got 20% all around, and got it installed at a place right off of hwy 100, just after lincon ave.

sealy 01-19-2007, 05:10 PM yeah, I'm looking to get tinted, although I don't want too much attention from the po's. I have a black ss, and I know it will look good. Anyone have any good pics of their cars and Tint %...
Do you tinted guys ever get hassled by the wonderful police because of it?
Thanks for the replys by the way.
djcasper_bpm 01-19-2007, 05:18 PM i've got 15% in front, 5% in back, and 70% windshield (dont ask on the windshield)
stealthy1ss 01-19-2007, 07:47 PM I got pulled over by a state trooper one time with my S-10 Xtreme. Had 12% and he didn't like it so much and gave me the whole speil about why tint is bad and blah blah blah.
I found out that in Wisconsin you can legally tint the driver and passenger front windows 50% and 35% with a perscription.
TexasTieaga 01-19-2007, 07:49 PM I paid 100 for 20% all around.
shortyhend2004 01-19-2007, 08:49 PM Ohio 50% on front is legal anything back 3, I personally have 35% on sides, 20% on rear and 5% strip on front window. I got it installed where I work and I cant put how much I payed hahaha. Also I have a lifetime warranty!!!!!!!! Never turn purple or bubble, Formula One window film owns....
pitchblackss 01-21-2007, 02:50 PM i have 20% all around and a 5" strip of limo on the front windshield on my black SS. i got it done at Kartunes in south Milwaukee for $220
Cobalt_SSTuner 01-22-2007, 11:52 AM really...

Brraaapp 01-22-2007, 02:07 PM I got mine done in Madison @ TNT. I did the two little windows and the front top and bottom eyebrow myself(2.5%). The back window,driver and passenger are 20%.
JPizzle 01-22-2007, 02:11 PM I got 15% all over, and a 15% window strip. I paid like $145 in Florida.

TNT is a good place to go to too. I have taken several of my cars to them. there is one in fort atkinson or whitewater i believe.
Brraaapp 01-22-2007, 02:19 PM I paid $160. I used to take alot of cars to eclipse in mad town but they cut my friends leather were being gay about it so I said cya and went a block down the road to TNT.
Cobalt_SSTuner 01-22-2007, 02:22 PM never heard of eclipse
Malek 01-22-2007, 02:28 PM I have limo on the back 3.I got it done at the dealership for $150.I would have gotten the side one's done to but it's illegal here.

I also have a black SS and I've had the tint for just over a month. I've never been hassled for it, but my tint isn't extreme (35% driver & passenger front-side windows, 18% on others, no windshield tint). Btw, tint on a black SS looks awesome:cool:
Cobalt_SSTuner 01-22-2007, 03:59 PM never been bothered once with my tint.
TexasTieaga 01-22-2007, 07:59 PM If you paid $200 for your tint you got raped
Mike06cobalt 01-29-2007, 11:35 AM Do you tinted guys ever get hassled by the wonderful police because of it?
I've had my tint on for 10 months now and have been pulled over 3 times specifically for it. Happened within the first few months, but not since.
Here's a couple pics.

blkcobalt 01-29-2007, 12:14 PM Just as a general rule of thumb...... The police won't even bother you for tint if your not attracting their attention. ( speeding, loud exhaust, "rollin" on 20's, loud stereo, etc...)
Cobalt_SSTuner 01-29-2007, 01:57 PM 20% never been bothered once.

Boosted06SS 01-29-2007, 02:06 PM I have 15% all around havent been pulled over yet all depends on the cop you run into and the mood he is in... The best about my tint is that I got it done at the same time as my boss was getting his brand new escalade tinted and he picked up the tab:twothumbs FREE is the best price.

sealy 01-30-2007, 04:07 AM ^ i bet.

( speeding, loud exhaust, "rollin" on 20's, loud stereo, etc...)I attract plenty of attention. Nice rims, red sports looking car, 20% tint, always doing at least 5mph over, loud system, and I'm a young Afro-American male riding in the collaboration I just mentioned of a nice car in the "wrong parts" of town (wherever you consider that being it doesn't matter. I've been everywhere). I just don't let the cops see my windows that often.

Generally, yeah. But each of my 3 times has been specifically for the tint, nothing else. Thats what they said anyhow.
