A good Price on Tint

So I called up superior glass in burnside and to do all five windows it is going to cost 275 plus tax not bad I say because when we went to apple they wanted 275 just for the back three and an extra 100 for the front two

Oh boy you are very very vey very wrong!!!!
i paid 250 tax in for all 6 windows.
i did 5% rear 3 and 35% front 3
heres a pic

now onto the topics of tint..

tint in nova scotia on the front 3 windows is illegal at any percentage UNLESS factory.
i got the cheaper fine of the 2, my fine was $222.00, the more expensive one is $550.00
i got off lucky, the cop told me if i was to strip it off and show him the next day he would cancel my ticket

NOW if you get derrick at suppior to do the tint job, ask him if he can lower the window and go all the way to the very top and but there. the way a cop can get you for tint is one of 2 ways.
1. tint pealing in a corner
2. the little strip wherethe tint stops at the top.

now a cop CAN NOT ask you to put the window up and scratch the window, if he does then the ticket is no good, allyou have to do is go to court say he scratched the window and your off the case.

good luck with it.

oh and darrick is the best!
did he mention about not tinting over the dot matrix? he said to me he can but there would be no warrenty, so he stoped at the dot matrix if you ever noticed...

front window yes goes down about 10 inchs like stated above.
i dunno i doubt it, i have friends who worked there thats how i got the deal.
and also remember my car comes factory with a light colored interior (pic was 2 weeks after i bought it) and your car has Black interior, now think about how dark yours will look with dark interior?
it will be a cop magnit, and i know you dont want the fine for tint on the window.
you use to be able to go to the doctor and get a medical note saying the sunlight bothers you, so now in the book it states pretty much that you should wear glasses or tuff ****...
