JonLGT Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I think my 5% blocks enough light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goBlue Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 how much did you guys pay for your tints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I don't remember exactly what I paid, but I got the HuperOptik on the fronts and 3M on the rears. I think it was something like 400 - 500. But my memory is fuzzy. It was part of the deal I got on the car.

leggtnut Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I saved a lot of $$$ doing that. The HuperOptik is expensive. Ben (2014 Outback SAP w/ eyesite, 2014 Tribeca Limited, 2006 LGT limited sedan) Subaru Ambassador PNW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjmsdrum00 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Speaking of UV protection, I need it here in PA. I get cooked in the car and my doctor says I'm not allowed to get tan due to current health issues. I am tired of applying sunscreen just to drive somewhere. Pennsylvania has a form for your doctor to sign to request an exemption for after market sunscreening for a physical condition. For some reason you can request windshield and side windows, but not back window. Maybe they don't care. Their website says a medical exemption allows colorless window film that blocks UV. Anyone ever used anything like that? Does anyone have any idea of the UV blocking ability of the factory glass? Otherwise the site says they require 70% light transmission all around on 1998 and newer passenger cars, but I was advised by a tint shop that factory glass was already at 80% transmission. That makes it sound like I can get away with a light tint. My local cops have the device to measure that light transmission. Due to our low crime rate, they have tons of time to do this. i thought that i read somewhere that glass inherently blocks like 80% uv rays . . . i'll have to go check up on this . . .

derffred Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 This was the first "mod" to my car back in 2005 Paid about $260 at Tropic Window Tint in Union/Elizabeth, NJ Excellent job (Llumar 35%). I'm sure I would've gotten the Huper Optik, but I wasn't aware of such product at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derffred Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 ^with the money you saved on the tint, you should have bought a new camera No, it's not the camera... LGT.Com wouldn't let me upload the orignal photo size (too big), so when I resized, it got fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJ Proez Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 If you aren't going to match all around don't bother. 20s all around FTW and I Paid 300 which is the most you should ever pay. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb46/SPT08SPECB/CIMG0026.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
