I'm curious, is it possible to have your windows tinted but instead of them looking black could they have a reddish hue to them?

Is this possible?

yes of course..just ask your tint shop....it looks stupid IMO

Does it? I'll try and find some pics on the net

Actually that looks pretty sweet.

This too.

What do you think?

dont like it at all...sorry...just my opinion

Not legal an ugly.... Will never perform as well as the regular tint also, I work at a tint shop just so you know.

i don't really like it either, looks very cheesy IMO...like a wal mart special tint job...

Yah decided I'm not going to do that. The people I'm probably going to get a tint from don't do colors. The guy also said the same things you guys said.

Thanks anyways though. :P

Yeah, red tint is illegal in AZ too.

Its the same as red sunglasses, the red actually makes the sunlight worse for your eyes.

saved yet another cobalt....good job guys! haha

color tint is illegal in most states I bought a s-10 about 8 years ago and it had a chrome tint that looked cool but was illegal and the cops made me take it off on the spot even though I bought it allready on the truck. Make sure you check your local laws before spending money on something the cops will make you peel back off.

IMO the law lets you put only a strip of tint on the front glass at the top and I think that it look stupid IMO... just do the sides and back!

haha 50% is legal in ohio and that is almost clear just so you know

No reflecting and no "fading" tint also

ya i had 50 in my front windows i live in IL... just to deepen it alittle u know ,... i got pulld and ticketed it was bs.. u could rlly only see tint form the inside

Damn your states suck for tint. AZ can do 35% on front sides, a strip on front(gay), and as dark as you want everywhere else.
I'm probably going 35% all around or 35% front sides and 25% everything else. Any darker and you can't see anything at night.

i have 10% all the way around... looks great
35% is the legal in WV but i have yet to get in trouble
ps. Tinted windows is a secondary offense.. u cant get pulled for it

How much did it cost you guys to get your cars tinted?

I got a quote right now for 229.00 that sound fair?

My dad said he can hook me up for about $150-175.

Yeah, I don't know, I had a buddy telling me 350 for his tint job. I think he got ripped.

How far away is Mesa AZ? ;) lol Too far for it to be worth the savings probably.

holy shit....
i got mine 10% tint for $148
tint is really cheap u can buy it for like 20 bucks at autozone..
95% of ur $ goes towards labor

haha 50% is legal in ohio and that is almost clear just so you know

what if u had one of the first Lexus RX300's that came out?? or an early 90's chevy/gmc suburban....those both came with reflecting tint from the factory

If the tint is factory it's actually made into the glass... that's grandfathered in... they can't ask you to take off something that's made in the glass. But yes... as far as I know.. in places that have tint laws any reflective "mirror" tint is illegal.

Exactly and if you wanna do the job yourself with that cheap tint it will look like crap.
I would much rather pay 175 for a great job and something that will last and not peel up in a couple years when I roll my windows down. Mesa is south of Phoenix, all the cities here kinda blend together. It would be a good driveBut like I said, my dad can hook me up, its not realistic for everyone else, prob more like 250 or so.

Mapquest says 5h 50min 310 miles

Yah too far.

I agree, I DO NOT trust myself with tinting my windows. I'd rather have it proffesionally done so it LOOKS proffessional.

i wasnt really asking him to do it him self
just to pay 200+ for tinted windows is rediculous
i had my prefessionaly done for $148 and looks great
ps. DONT USE WINDEX TO CLEAN UR INTERIOR OF WINDOWS

could you guys post some pics with your tint at 50%. is that the darkest we can go all around?

thats pointless to get 50%
some of my friends have 35% and you can barely tell

o i thought shorty had 50% and you can tell but i guess not. have you had cop trouble shorty?

I got my back 3 windows done at 5% for only 88 bucks. Great Deal.

And colored tint can fade and look like ass even more.

And if you get autozone tint its more than likely going to fade faster and look crappy, especially if you attempt it yourself because its an art to doing tint

nope.. you cant get pulled for tinted windows its a secondary offense

nope.. you cant get pulled for tinted windows its a secondary offense

Thats not true in all states

You missed out. A bunch of people on a WRX site just got a good deal last thursday. $150 bucks all around whatever you want. Wasnt even all WRX's, just people on the site, I think they are planning another one in a month.

OMG you all have a ton of questions and no offense most of you dont have the right answers.....

1. In ohio its only limited to front 2 doors.... They can be no darker than 50% (useless in my opinion)

2. Your backs can be dark as you want.

3. I dont know who gave you the percents but 35% is awesome, I can see in an out great and 2 cars in a row at 35% no trouble yet.

4. Most trucks and suvs come factory glass with 20% on them. At our shop we match the front 2 at 20% and its almost perfect.

5. Limo tint is a 5% film (lower number darker it is)

6. Our shop runs around 180 for a two door vehicle. However our film has a LIFETIME GUARANTEE!!!!!!

7. It will never turn puprple or bubble.

8. Walmart and autozone film sucks pay to get it done right the first time....

thats mine with 30% on the driver/passenger 20% on 2 rear 20% on back and 30% on windshield

yes that is illegal in ny..i believe its 70% for the front windows.. i got pulled over in amherst i believe and i got a ticket for them..i HAD 20 or 25% driver/passenger,limo front strip and limo back 2 windows and back window. btw, i think the mirror tint looks awesome and i will be putting it on my SS/SC when i get it. :twothumbs

In IL, we can be as dark as we want on the back half, and have no tint on the front half. Other than a 6" strip on the windshield, and it can be tint or vinyl. I had double wrapped 2% on all of my windows (other than windshield) on my mustang, and couldn't see out almost, in the daylight. Luckily it was a vert, and I could put all windows down...as I only drove it when it was nice out. LOL Except for one time, it started raining, and I had to drive with the front windows down....I was soaked!

but i say... f the pigs

I did my own tint (4dr SS (5% back window/2 sides & 50% on front doors) for $30... /cheer


As for the gradient tint, its not my brand of tea, there is a neon that drives around here that has it upside down! lol, the gradient is on top. it looks stupid imo

I have a red cobalt and i got just the regular black tints put on it. On the fronts i got 22% and on the backs i got 6%. The fronts are illegal in illinois but i really like how it looks so i really dont care. Ive seen a lot of different cars with the colored tints and i really think it looks bad. I would stick to the classic black. Just my opinion

Hey guys I got my windows tinted today.

SO GLAD I listened to you guys and got normal colored tint. I'll post pics tomorrow. (before pic is in my gallery, not awesome quality though)
