Yes definitely get tint. It'll help keep you car cooler and protect the interior from fading in the long run.

I got 20% all around and lifetime warranty.

 

i paid $184 for 35% and a lifetime warranty.

 

lol $184 for 35% lolol you got ripped off

i paid $90 for 5% and lifetime warranty

 

it's not always about the price, it's also the quality of the film. film are not all created equal. and also just because you got 5% doesn't make it better than 35%. What brand/kind of film did you get?

 

Like the old saying goes. "You get what you pay for".

 

x2
and lets not forget about how WELL it installed
nevermind tint % or $

 

tC4italy, thanks again for the bday wishes

 

Here is mine 35% all around as u can see not much of a diff. but just enough, I like it



Brian - np! welcome to 22 threshold

 

Just shop around for prices. The first place I called quoted me almost $150 for llumar! ... anyways, they offered a "3 year warranty" tint for $119.

I call another place, who doesn't assume a "scion tC" is "the suv looking box," and is overall much smarter, and they quote me $119 for llumar.

I still have yet to actually go get a tint done, though. Ugh.

 

So true, so true.

 

Getting a tint is like getting your hair done--you don't really need it, but everytime you see "the new dew" you're overwhelmed with happiness.... however, the cops can't ticket you for having an illegal haircut but they can on an illegal tint... but it adds alotta umph to your car's looks.

 

i got limo tint on the back 3 windows and 20% on the front two....i got the primium diamond ting....stays real cool inside even on sunny days....i paid 180 walk out the door...i know most people pay over $220 for this tint....got lucky...

How do you know you got the premium tint? Did you see the installer pull the tint out of the box? Even then that still don't mean he put on premium tint. But again, you have to know what good and cheap tint looks like to tell the difference. Before I knew how to tint, I thought I was getting the good tint, then not even one year later it turned purple. That tint shop is no longer here. I have a roll of that cheap tint that will make any car look just like that and it will turn purple within a year. Only time will tell.

 

so if you buy what they say is llumar or 3M tint, you just have to trust them?

 

eh 35% doesn't look like much?.... I wonder what w5% or 30% looks like....

 

^^ the white tC above has 5%

 

then 10% might be just perfect! or atleast 15%

 

You should have no problems if you go to a good reputable shop. Most shops dont carry more than one brand of tint anyway since most people dont know the difference in brands of window tint.

 

Just got mine back today after work from being tinted.. Went with 15% all around with a Tint Strip

 

Tinting my car was the happiest day of my life because i love the look and it keeps nosy people from looking in and its just plain sweet. i had 3m tint put on 5% on the 3 rear and 55% on the doors. and paid 210 and they came to my house..very professional and i live in so cal
