window tint

[TrixTeR]

I'm going to be putting subs in back pretty soon and i was thinking about tinting the back window. I have a few questions though.

1. Has anyone tried tinting their windows themselves? or what type of places did you guys go to?

2. I think it's illegal to have tint in the front/sides here...not sure though.. anyone know where i could look that up?

Anyplace will do if you are going legal. However if you are getting subs in the back get at least 15% if not limo, so you cant see them.

Very hard to do the back window, especially if you want just one piece..

IMO take it to a professional..

i want to take it to a professional but i'm not sure where to go (I live in northern iowa, not a huge business for this type of stuff)... do car dealerships do them at all?

i would definitely recomend taking the car to PROFESSIONAL window tinters. sure tint at wal mart is like 8 bucks but i know people that tried to tint their own, looks like crap now. the back window on f-body's is especially hard to tint even for the tint shops because it is so frickin big. got mine all done 15% with a strip on the windshield for $110

I got my tinting done at the dealership I work at which is a Ford ( [img]graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img] ) dealership. I just went through their Aftermarket department and they did a really awesome job. I'm pretty sure if you take it to an Aftermarket department at a dealership they will do it. Try a Chevy dealership since they are used to doing tinting on Camaros. I got my back glass tinted 4% Limo for $80 bucks. Good luck! [img]smile.gif[/img]

the person who had my firebird before me had 5% done in one piece on the rear it looks so AWESOME, but i can tsee $hit at night when i back up, need to resolve that, brighter bulbs maybe

alot of times car stereo shops also do tinting, at least in california they do.

i got back window one piece limo for 50 and 35% on the sides for 20 each.

oh and jennifer love hewitt got some windows tinted and a system installed there, her signed pic is on the wall with a little note to the store.

yum

Yeah make sure you take it somewhere to get it done!!

We've all seen those "self-tinted" cars where it always looks like crap, plus the tint is all purple and stuff.

My car was already tinted by a pro when I got it, but I don't know where it was done.

Take it somewhere!
