So, I searched through lots of topics that have to do with tint and it seems that 90% of people rather get their tint custom done then dealer done...why is that? Is it not dark enough? Over priced? I'm looking into a Super White tC, so any advice on whether I should go darker for that specefic color would be helpful too!

This will be my first car so I really don't know anything about...well anything really, haha. So I would appreciate any help that you can offer.

Thanks again,

John

I don't know any dealers that do tinting in-house. That is why we have to go somewhere else to tint. I got the darkest allowed by law.

i broke the law....

....i got darker than what was allowed. my dealership doesnt tint scions

the dealership does offer tint jobs, i got mine done through them.


although i don't know the percentage, my tints are pretty dark. i was asked if i wanted light, medium, or dark. i opted for dark all around, but the guy at the dealership recommended that i go with medium in the front, dark in the back...because of the law. i agreed, and i was suprised. for a "medium" tint, it ended up being pretty dark. "dark" is pretty damn dark, i can't see anything through the small back mirrors.


maybe i will get some pictures up to show how they look like.

I'd appreciate that m1k!

And yes, dealerships do offer tint.

medium in the front, dark in the rear smaller windows.

no tint at all

That last picture has no tint right? Woo, those look pretty good. I'll go with the dealer tint I think

How are they quality wise? Windows go up and down fine, etc?

i didnt say dealers dont do tint, i said MINE doesnt do tints. those are kinda light compared to mine though.

I meant the same thing.

yeap the last picture was the night i bought my baby home from the dealership.


tint quality is good, considering t he fact that its from the dealership. only bad thing was that i was informed not to lower my windows for 2-3 days, and to leave the car in the sun if possible. i was glad the car has a sunroof.

If im not mistaken my dealership charges 200+ to do tints on the tc...I went to this place by my house...115 lifetime warranty...

 

[thepda]

if you get pulled over for too much tint..... lets just say, this is theoretical (cant spell for shiat and too lazy to use spell check that is less than 1cm from my mouse).

what could you do to allow you to have tint in a state that might not allow tint...

i know in CT, and probably many other states, you can get around tint laws if you get a letter from a doctor saying that you have a medical condition that limits your exposure to the sun.

My primary concern is the price
