Polarized Limo Tint. Almost went with the Nano but didn't feel like paying 350$!

Did you vinyl your dot matrix? That looks like a really professional job. From what I can see, the whole dot matrix is even on the sides and back.

I'm Jealous!

hey bud, np! always willing to take pics of my car, and it works out when a forum member wants to see hehehe
type of tint: johnson window film
satisfied: yes i am! looks great, hasnt faded at all, and i can see great from the inside looking out. i've only had 2 cars so far and both have had this same tint so idk what to compare it to but i haven't had any problems with it so far! got in during the summer when it was around 100 degrees and its shown that its not bubbled or anything over the last few months or due to the change in temperature. i like the film, it wasnt expensive either compared to some of the stuff people are posting here.

No i didnt vinyl it! its 5% Johnson Window Film tint. yeah after the guy did it he said it came out like perfect. i guess im either lucky, or my installer was great! yeah it looks pretty much all black, the look i was trying to go for. thanks for the kind words, makes me love my car a bit more haha

Stakin,

Thanks again! If I may ask, because I don't live far from the Branchburg area, where did you get the car tinted and do you remember the guys name who did it, cost, etc..?

Agree with FM, the tint looks awesome!!!!!

i have my interior brake light tinted over as well, even without a spoiler. Yes, illegal, but you can still see the light through the tint when its on.

Anything darker get you checked out.
The want to be able to see if that's a MAC10 in your hands.
Tint laws in Cali is a FAIL!

although i only did 35% for my front for that reason. 15% on the rear and i love it.

yeah man, np! do you know where the Somerville circle is? its right off of their. the shop is called Auto Creations. They only have one tinter I believe, its a family run business. cost was $120 for back small sides and rear window. idk if thats a discounted price or not because i am a return customer or what not. im going with my friend sometime soon to get his car tinted and will see if i can get my friend a discounted price if possible. if so, ill give you my name and all so if you choose them you can get a better deal. they use johnson window film and its pretty good IMO.
any other questions? please ask! im willing to help out in any way i can!

i just got my windows tinted legally at 35%. i'm getting too old to get stressed out about the cops pulling me over for something stupid like that. i'd prefer it to be darker but it looks pretty nice...prefer 20% that i had on my previous cars.

Illegal in VA but went 35% front and rear. I don't like the 50%/ 35% look. Had it for a month, no issues with the cops (knock on wood).

I have 5% all around -windshield. Legal in FL is i believe 28 in the front and 15 in the rear. We are the sunshine state. I've gotten pulled over for my tints in my Maxima(5% all around as well) but not in the G. I've never gotten a ticket though. Always get a have a nice day. Most police understand why my tints are so dark. Law Enforcement... I deal with criminals on a regular bases. Not trying to be run off the round by a disgruntled crook while driving down the highway. The tint also helps protect the interior of the car from the Florida sun.
