new guy wanting some TINT input!!

balls8302 · Sep 7, 2008

first off i'll introduce myself. names brandon from brookston, indiana, recently purchased an 06 GT 5spd in performance white. heres a pic, haven't got the good camera's out yet but cell photo will do for now...

been a mustang guy forever, used to have an 03 5spd gt in SB, but went to a truck for work purposes, but i got a company truck now and i'll eventually own the business so figured i'd go ahead and hop back in a mustang .

here's what i want some input on, just had a birthday and have a few extra bucks to spend, so im gonna get the tint done. thinking about going with 6%(yes, i want it dark) but still thinking about 15%

post up pics of your tint along with %'age, especially on white!!!!!!

2% on all side windows and the rear window, than 35% on the windshield.

NotQuik · Sep 8, 2008

I have 5% all around and love it, have the same on my 95 as well...and on my old s10 except 2 layers of 5 over the back window. BTW, I think i posted this in another thread of yours but can't remember which board. lol 8)

20% all around.

gashog · Sep 8, 2008

20% - 35% seem to be the perfect tint for me.

I had 5% on my truck way back when and it was very dark at night and had trouble seeing out back when reversing.

Sorry, don't have recent pics of mine with the tint. It looks very much like 69mach's.

balls8302 · Sep 8, 2008

cars look good guys, but hey notquick, you've seeled the deal i think im gonna get the 6%. your car looks amazing. what axle back are you running, and which front splitter is that, i want it now

and do you have any shots of the rear end? also interested in the black out panel or paint

xxrequiemxx · Sep 8, 2008

hey balls, check out my post http://forums.stangnet.com/761518-recent-pics.html

I recently did the 5% all around including 5% strip on the windshield. I also tinted out all the lights.

how much is everyone paying for the back 3 windows?

i was thinking of getting my windows tinted, but being unsure what percent i want, i haven't yet.

balls8302 · Sep 8, 2008

i got a quote from a somewhat local place, he's done tint on two other cars i've had in the past and for the mustang, i'm goin 6% all around, plus the window strip for $155, not sure if thats a good deal or a great one but he's been doing it for a while and he's damn good, might ask him to do the tails also

autumn_again · Sep 8, 2008

if i can get it for around 150 or less, my windows will be tinted saturday. haha.

Thank you. That is the mac axle back, CDC Classic chin spoiler. The blackout panel is actually a magnet incase i didn't like it and it comes right now..my wife got it at 50resto.com for 40 bucks.

I've got 35% on the doors and 20% on the back 3. It's not to dark inside but it's also not easy to see through

I have 35% on all windows except the windshield. It's totally illegal in Michigan to have the front two windows completely tinted....you can tint 4" from the top down, that's it. I was pulled over once about 2 months ago (for tint) but he didn't ticket me.

Not only do I want to SEE out of my car at night (especially in the rain)...but I think it looks kinda cheesy to hide behind solid black glass.

To those of you that tint your head lights/tail lights....that's just plain retarded. Here's an idea....let's make it HARDER TO SEE at night and make my brake lights LESS VISIBLE in the daytime.

But....whatever floats your boat.

Ok....so I needn't worry about the douchebag with tinted brake lights that I can't see in the daytime?

NastyStang113 · Sep 11, 2008

Wah Wah Wah !!

You should get your eyes checked if you can't see the brake lights with a little tint on them.

Also, 5% on the back and sides, 25% on the driver/passenger windows.

I dont even know where to start on this ignorant post...

How is it cheasy and hiding when someone gets a dark tint? Some people get it because they like the look of it... Hence pretty much any modification someone can do to their car.

I don't know why I am bothering catering to your post... But I have my lights tinted out with smoke and my rear brakes are just fine during the day. Second, my headlights are just as bright too. So I would recommend you get your facts straight prior to starting a rant like that. But, I guess ignorance is bliss for some.

I think we should be more worried about the "douchebag" who writes ignorant posts.

Putting something that obstructs light on your headlights/brake lights....makes them just as bright as without tinted headlights/brake lights? That's interesting.

Modding your car for performance or appearance is one thing. But reducing the effectiveness of a safety device because it "looks cool" seems pretty retarded to me.

Let's take out the airbags while we're at it and put some on a chain link steering wheel....LOL

For the record, I have 20-15 vision and can see just fine. Some people don't know "when to say when" when it comes to their brake light tint and it's damn near impossible to see in broad daylight. I would be a bit concerned about the old lady not seeing you and getting cozy with your rear bumper.
