Help with tinting
#21
Sort of answered my question. With the radio antenna being in the rear defrost do you have to watch what type of tint is put on the back window. I know the owners manual says not to put tint containing metal on the rear but has anyomne done it? Does it have an effect? Been awhile since I had to have windows tinted (1995) so I'm not up on the new types of tint... ceramic??? Really? Figure even base line tint will help but know that the "metalized" tint helps reflecrt heat and UV rays. TIA

I love having darker tint. I think im 30% on the sides 15-20 on the back. I bought it used and its kinda scraped up. Make sure they cut it good at the top so it doesnt start to peel off. And with what I have u cant back up at night without sticking your head out the window lol.

I have Llumar tint also. The nice thing about it is it has the lifetime warranty and its transferable meaning you sell the car it goes with the car. The other nice thing is that you can take it to ANY Llumar dealer if anything goes wrong with it and they have to fix it free. Like I said I have 30% and that seems like a good mix of dark but not too dark.

pure2sin, you do know that IF you do get pulled over, you COULD get a ticket since the law in MN is 50% right? don't get me wrong, i love the way it looks on your monte, but with my experiences the cops around here can be d*cks about it. not worth the hassle imo.

Law here in PA is that %70 of available light has to shine through, which is why I'm afraid to tint my windows even though I want to really badly (I can get llumar for a good price here). Cops here are a-holes and they stop me all the time just because i'm a girl who drives a red monte carlo then try to hand me some bs that my tail lights are out. I dont THINK SO pal. Or say my registration and plate is expired. No, it's up in august of next year, try again. Then they just give me a warning because they know they can't get me on anything. with the tint on the windows, I probably wouldn't be so lucky.

Nothing says you can't put metal on the sides and ceramic on the back either, but as you said the $ difference can't be that big!
