i got em done today, the guy said the xb's match w/ 15% and that what he always uses. did he go too dark? will it dry lighter or should i call em up and get em redone?

 

it will change color when it dries a bit..come to the meet tomorrow

 

did you only do the front windows?

so the rear windows are the equivelant of 15% tint?

im trying to figure out how i want to tint my windows.

 

i got the fronts done only.

every1 one here says the stock is 20% on the back, i have also read ppl doin it lighter and darker. just lookin at the car now it looks really amazing, but lookin close up at it, u can tell its a slight difference. i'd do a search to find a better answer, so r not dissappointed

 

They tested my rears and said they come out to like 28%. 15% was too dark and didn't match. I went 35% and they were lighter but not enough to worry about. It will also help at night anyways. It's up to you. I'd have em redone so you can see out them at night.

 

i was not problem at nite. it was a lil different than normal but i didnt really mind it. my friend's old blazer had to get done at 15% even tho ever1 said they are 20% stock in the back

the tint guy said they use 15% on the xb's and i guess he woulda had ppl complain if they did not match

i'll call em on monday and see what he says

 

Check out my profile pics and see what 35% looks like. Unless you look Real hard, they match up real good. Also, post up some side profile pics of yours. I'd like to see how 15 % compares to the stock tint.

 

i really dont see it drying much lighter. and i dont think bothering them to change it to 20% will make much difference. i think i might just take it off tomorrow b4 the glue dries all the way and put on what u got and be legal and look less dumb. i have actually read on another site 35% true grey matches perfect.

 

My 20% is a perfect match. There are a couple pics in my profile.

 

hmmmm, for some reason i heard that the windows were just smoked glass? is this true? or is it actuall tint? if so, ill just have it all ripped off and have 15% done all the way around. i had 15 on my previous car and i loved it.

 

Umm, the rear windows are colored glass not tint. The amount of color is around 28%

 

How much did each of you guys' tint jobs cost? Trying to price it out for a budget when mine arrives.

--Dennis

 

$60 for front 2 windows and strip across windshield which is cut straight (doesn't have that curved bottom edge)

 

Wow. Cheaper than I had thought. What about you other guy's tint jobs?

--Dennis

 

$50 for the front two and i tipped em...hopefully cause of that they will be def willin to work w/ me and i m considering gettin a sun strip to the as1

 

Legally, how big can the sunstrip be? Or does it differ state to state?

--Dennis

 

here is my 35% front windows.
$40 for the 2 front

 

In Oregon a windshield strip can be 6" or to where the sunvisor touches the winshield.

On my xB it is like 9" tall down the sides and 4" tall in the middle, thanks to the windshield curve

 

Putting tint on the front windows is illegal in Pennsylvania and my next door neighbor is a state policeman. I talked to him about it and he told me not to do it.

 

I had mine done in Atlanta for about 65 bucks the guy put 20 percent on the front two it matches perfect. I also did another coat on the back window just to darken it up a bit more.
