Default Tinting

Hey guys i'm looking to get my windows tinted on my black gt/cs and as of right now with the way cops are were i live i only plan on tiniting the back three windows but if i do tint the front ones it will be as light as possible. How dark do you guys think i should go on the back windows? pics would help and does anyone know a good shop around Whittier Ca to get it done?

If your not going to go dark don't bother with just the back, IMO it will look weird. They already bock UV light and they don't let light onto the front steats/shift ****/stuff that sucks when its hot.

I've got 20% done all around on my Black GT. It looks amazing..... you will not be dissapointed. Search my threads to see pics.
PS- any tint is illegal on the side windows, i figure that if a cop is gonna bust em, give them a reason to. [:@]

Classic Window Tinting located in Orange, CA. These guys are the pros in what they do. Shop owner was already aware of the need for Moleskin on our Mustangs. btw- You can save yourself some $$ by installing the Moleskin yourself before getting the tint done.

Tint used: Solar Guard HP Titanium 33 (light-medium)

They're on the high side, but the quality of work is excellent. They also offer a less expensiveSolar Guard Charcoal tint. Best bet is to give them a call for a quote.

Cost about $200.00 with felt installed on the front doors
Xtreme offers a insurance if you get a fix it ticket they will take off the tint and reinstall

Mine is 35% sides and 15% rear. Here in Texas, the front side windows have to be no darker than 25%. The tint folks advised me that the windows are already tinted a little and they also get darker with age, so they recommended 35%. I think that 15% would be fine for the sides, but I don't want any tickets, so I'll leave it like this. Here's some pictures:








Do make sure that they put in the moleskin. Otherwise, the tints will scratch. If they don't know what you're talking about or don't think it's a problem, don't let them tint your windows.

I agree. And, to those who have Velcro felt instead of Moleskin, it will fail, eventually. Keep an eye on it, once the feltseperates from the glue, you'll have some undesired glue streak marksonthe tint.
