In the Rosedale area there is a shop that does custom stuff on trucks and what not, anyway there is a guy that works out of there shop. In the yellow pages he is the Tint Man, pretty cheap, lifetime warranty. He did my car and the tint is flawless, he even did the 2G back window with two pieces and not one single bubble or air pocket.

I think I paid 160 for every window accept the front of course.

CRAIG

7.5% tint huh? Cops wil make you scratch that off pretty quick.. as the legal limit is 50%. Plus at night you wont see shit.

i'm well aware of that thanks. :rant:

i can second the tint man. he did my mr2 and i paid around 140 for it. no flaws

Im curious why you would want that dark then if you know youll get tickets for it... I just dont see the logic.

JoeGengsta · 05-09-2004

my logic is that the darkness is asthetically pleasing on my car. :rant:

What is the legal limit? Cuz 7.5 isnt anywhere near 50. Sorry for being clueless, maybe im just missing something obvious again. Ive heard that 35% was the limit in either Minnesota or Wisconsin.

50% is the "legal" limit in mn.

Well Im sure it will look really nice, Id go that way if I could also... but I dont want to pay the same money it took to get the tinting done a second time in a ticket... or numerous times.

:blah:

I dunno... I bet I could argue that many cars from the factory come with more than a 50% tint. Have you ever seen an actual 50% tint? It's very difficult to notice.

I personally think that cops have more important things to do than try to guess what your tint % is, and you could probably squirm your way right out of the tickets. My $0.02.

I've gotten pulled over for Tint and Ryan with the Galant has recently. They don't have anything better to do. Dark windows = free $$$

I think its dumb that the limit is 50% because they sell 30% at Wal-Mart

Enes · 05-10-2004

ok, dcblade.....

the tint % states amount of light passed thru the tint... meaning on 7.5% means only that much of the light will pass thru...

so if you shine a 100lumins light bulb it will only look like a 7.5 lumins on the other side. However that is just the easiest way to describe it.. might not be the 100% correct but its good to give an example and teach you in process so you remember for later..

They also sell condoms but it's illegal to have sex if you're under 16, or 16-18 and doing it with Enes. The darker tint is legal for some things, like the rear windows of trucks, SUV's, and vans.

i was going to suggest a place in Hopkins... they did all of my vehicles and the eclipe rear hatch all single peace no cuts nothing.. perfict.. and no bubles.. 2 years later.. i have another car thats had their tint on it for 4 years almost no bubles... i still see my old car on the road and its been almost 7 years... and tint is still perfict no bubles what so ever!!!

I have gotten a tint ticket before and it was 50 dollars but they didn't make me rip it off for some reason. All I have to say is you are asking to get pulled over with, so don't drive drunk late at night on a weekend. During the day you are usually fine, they mostly will stop you looking for DWI's.

where is this place in Hopkins??

2003eclipse · 05-10-2004

Well just my opinion. dont go as dark a 7.5% go 15% at the darkest thats just what I say. I got 36% and I love it its perfect if you ask me. When I was at Ziebarts they were showing me what 36% looked like on the window of the shop and i thought it was to light. He talked me into 36% instead of 15% and I'm glad he did makes night driving easier and Still keaps the sun out. and its not that easy to see into my car. I would recomend staying away from 7.5 and go with 15% you dont want cops thinkin your some homie out dealin dope. But to each his own. Your car will look great with 7.5% but shy away from it if you could.
