Mr. Sinister Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I ended up doing 50% fronts/20% rear...I don't like the look of different tints either but in Illinois, I don't want to take too much risk for getting pulled over because of my tints...just my .02 Where did you go and what kind (brand, metallic, ceramic, etc.) of tint did you get? I was dead-set on getting Huper Optik (50 or 60 all around) last summer, but now I'm not so sure if I even want to bother getting any tint.

I had it done through my dealer actually and they subletted it out to someone else. I can find out who did it though. But I do know that he used the Suntek Carbon Series tint...I don't think your really supposed to use metallic tint on windows with antennas in them....

Garandman Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well I have a GRP LGT and have an appointment with Ziebart on Friday to get my tints. I know here in Ohio anything lower than 50% for the fronts is illegal. I was thinking of 50% fronts and 35% rears. What you guys think? Anyone with GRP let me know. Anyone got some pics? Will this look good or should I go darker? I know Toledo police are real strict on the tint rule. Anything is legal for the backs.Going to keep the car a long time? There are plenty of folks who won't even look at a car with tinted windows. Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molal24 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Going to keep the car a long time? There are plenty of folks who won't even look at a car with tinted windows. I plan on keeping the thing for quite some time. At least for another 3-4 years as long as I don't run into any problems. If not, I can always take them off can't I?

ordiga Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah, if I do it it'll be carbon or ceramic tint only. Do you remember how much it costed? I don't remember exactly what it costed but I want to say it was $150...I know he gave me a good deal since it was kind of a "favor" for a dealer I used to work for...anyways, sorry for the delays in posting pics...but here are a few.... http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s227/ordiga/IMG_0384.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s227/ordiga/IMG_0386.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s227/ordiga/IMG_0387.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The tint looks good. Funny how I always remember the 08+ Spec. B wheels as beeing ugly, but every time I see them I end up thinking they look fine. BTW, I'd blur out your plates in the last pic, or just remove it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAvery529 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Got mine done today and went with 32%, wish I would have gone with 22%. Make sure you look your back window over when they are done, I found a lot of air bubbles in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouAreABus Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm also in Ohio. I went 35% on the front windows and rear window, and 18% on the other 4 windows. Most cops don't even notice me (sleeper LGT's FTW!) but I allways open my sunroof shade before I roll by, the light from above makes the tint look much lighter (untinted sunroof). pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you look your back window over when they are done, I found a lot of air bubbles in mine. What color is your car? By wishing you went with 22% do you mean that the tint looks rather light? Or was it just not dark enough to your liking?I don't want it looking bad lol. Also, ordiga, thanks for the pictures. Car looks great. And YouAreABus, I don't have a sunroof so I can't pull that trick lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I should blur the plate and take care of my rust colored calipers...lol I can't go without a plate...I don't need any reasons to get pulled over cause that could be very costly...
