Window Tinting
I'm looking to tint my black 01 Grand Am GT (4dr).
Where is a good place to get windows tinted around the area?
What is legal? ... (aka) What can I get away with?
Approx cost?
Thanks all!
Jayme

Re: Window Tinting
That stuff Craig has is a new 3M metallic tint, it is 35% and illegal...but damn it looks nice. Legal is 50%. Peter and I are getting our cars done later this week by a recomended guy, prices seem very reasonable. Once my car is done I will post up the info (if Peter and I are happy with the job).

Re: Window Tinting
I have gotten pulled over for it and they usually dont let you by that easy. I didnt get a ticket but i herd that it is not cheap. I took mine off because it draws attention and just isnt worht it. Looks sweet though.

Re: Window Tinting
It is 50 all around for cars. I went to sun control on rice st and I think it cost like 240 for my DSM..They did a super nice job and it is life time warranty.

Re: Window Tinting
I did my prelude at Street scenes tint in spring lake park. It was just under $200. Looked great, had lifetime warranty.
I did my quest at Midwest Auto Salon in AV. The work seemed slightly less impressive, but not by much. Also had a warranty...can't remember if it was 2-3 year or lifetime. It cost me $200.
I did both cars at 20%. Cops haven't bugged me ever, but I bet they will/would have in due time. If I were you, I'd stay between 20%-35%.

Re: Window Tinting
I've had 35% for 7 years or so. I've never been pulled over because of it nor have I recieved a ticket for it. I got it done a solar shield in savage. I don't recommend them however. They had to redo my tint twice because there was dirt between the glass and the film.

Re: Window Tinting
I've been told numerous times to get something in the area of 35% and you'll have a great chance of never being bothered by the cops.

Re: Window Tinting
I have 17% on my Grand Prix. Its really dark and sucks for backing up at night. Ive gotten pulled over a good 10 times for it and got 3 tickets. Price of each ticket was $125.
People I know have 35%, good darkness and the cops dont really pull over for it.

Re: Window Tinting
I have 20% on my Galant, and have been pulled over twice last summer, and not once this summer. I agree with everyone saying go with 35% or higher.
