I'm wanting to get my windows tinted on my 06 vert. I am wanting it for heat rejection (brutal sun here in LV), not looks. I still want to be able to drive the car at night, so I don't want something dark, and I dont like the looks of mirror-type tints.

Suggestions? Anyone recommend a good automotive window tint business here in Las Vegas?

I've read some good things about Huper Optik... comments?

What about the supposed problem with the window guides scratching tint on the 05/06 Mustang? Do I really need to buy the extra guides?

Thanks in advance!

the problem with the window guides scratching tint on the 05/06 Mustang IS REAL!
I suggest calling the local Tint Shops until you find someone who understands it and has dealt with it before

35% should be a good compromise.

Update

I ended up going with TintWorld on Hacienda and Decatur. I had them do the extra window guide felting (they are the ones who told me about it in the first place, so they had done it before).

Its been a few months, and everything still seems ok -- I've done lots of window up/down cycles, and no scratches yet.

Do it yerself is mo fun. $10 werth uf tint at walmart, $5 for da squeegee and razor knife and a $1 spray bottle with water in it only. Use windex to clean really good inside and outside of winders. Next wet outside winder and roll out tint across outside squeegee some of the water out so u can trim to correct size. Then with no wind blowing seperate the plastic from the stickyside while still stuck to outside be sure u have the right side out wet the film wid water and the then wet the inside of the winder. This is were u need 4 arms to move the tint to the inside. squeegee out the water and yer done. look for bubbles and squeegee them out.
if ya screw up peel it off throw it away and dont quit your day job!
Dont do the back winder on a vert!
Or spend a hundred and have somebodyelse do it.

EDIT- Doh, I didnt catch the update. To late now.
