35% tint

Fishstix · 02-07-2008, 01:17 PM

Is $180 a good price for doing 35% side and rear tints? I have no knowledge on tinting, so I don't know if I'm getting a good, average, or bad deal haha.

***Phalanx*** · 02-07-2008, 01:19 PM

Thats exactly how much i paid on my 06 EX coupe for 35% side and 20% rear

jdmkid88 · 02-07-2008, 01:34 PM

on my older civic, i paid 120, and that wit 5% in the back and 10% on the front 2 doors

eXe · 02-07-2008, 01:42 PM

I paid $300, 35% all around with lifetime warranty

Rallyecivic · 02-07-2008, 01:42 PM

i paid 150 for 20 all around with a lifetime warranty. the civic is tough though because of the damn antenna in the back winshield, tint doesnt stick to it

***Tredd*** · 02-07-2008, 02:21 PM

look around, dunno bout ur area but i got hooked up with 15% tints all around AND 3M clear bra on my CF hood all for 140$

08blackSI · 02-07-2008, 02:45 PM

KraziAzn · 02-07-2008, 04:20 PM

130$ i think it was 15? or 25%

ccking85 · 02-07-2008, 04:24 PM

I got a deal on mine 220 for two FAs and lifetime warranty. 35% on both

bbRedSi · 02-07-2008, 04:44 PM

i paid 140 all around on my coupe, 35%, they were supposed to do the moonroof too but they didnt... oh well.

mijc13 · 02-07-2008, 05:24 PM

I just got 35% percent tint done. $225 dollars for all four windows and the rear in my FA5. I wish I could have gone darker, but I was worried about getting tickets etc.

I got it done by the same guy who did Tom Brady's on his Audi R8

I didn't believe him at first, until I saw pictures of him doing it with Brady in the background.

What's the clear bra? I have a cf spoiler...

***Tredd*** · 02-07-2008, 06:08 PM

its this clear plastic thing that protects against rock chips which is why i got it for my hood, but i wouldnt think ud need it on a rear spoiler, unless your talking bout a front lip spoiler

you might as well not tint if you're going with 35% - you won't even notice it. I paid $150 for 20% all around. The back window is tough for them to do right, if you go to the wrong place you might be disappointed. The Civic shouldn't be anywhere near a $300 job though especially for the coupe.

My back window was done perfectly even at the fairly low price. I went to a highly-rated shop that dealt in all kinds of window/glass installations, and did tints for house/building applications as well.

I'm pretty sure I'll notice the tint, especially on the front side windows. I got fricken sun burn over the summer driving to the beach because they are so clear haha. I saw a RR SI with probably 20% tint on the roads and while it looked cool it wasn't my taste. 35% is just right for me

You'll definitely notice a difference, especially at night

I just got mine tint all around 20% at Rosemead California. This place was recommended alot by my friends so i figure i try it out. So they finish in about 2hrs then i check 4 windows it look good. except for the cutting inside but from the outside it looks good. Then it was getting late and dark so i just left since i have lifetime warranty. After i got home took a flash light and look at my back window cause i heard them saying something about the matrix but it was in spanish. anyways i took a look at the matrix, there was bubble on both side the left and the right side, but the middle of the matrix look good. It stated on the receipt that "if the car come with a matrix window the adhesive with not stick evenly but we will our best". Therefore the they did try their best in the middle but crappy job on the 2 side. now i have to come back there tomorrow and waste my time again...If anyone decide to come there and get tint check your matrix cause they suck at tinting matrix. other then that everything look good. sry guys just letting my anger out since all i heard is good comment about them. btw i got it for 120 and 20% all around.
