Anybody get their xB2 tinted? Costs? Comments?
I'm planning on getting all of my windows tinted to legal maximum here in CA.
Including (if I can find it...) a strip of aqua or something close to the HTM color on the top of the windshield.
My girlfriend's dad works on the police cars in my city and as such he could introduce me to the guy who tints all the police cars. I'll probably end up going with him.
Has anyone had the windows tinted? How much did it cost? What kinds of experiences did you have?
Thanks!

I am going to do my 2 front windows next week, vary lightly to match the rears. I was quoted $85 at XLNT tint in Anaheim. Have been using them for about 15 years and love them, great work never had a problem and iirc lifetime warranty

Alright. Well i suppose i'll check out tintpros tomorrow.
$180 is a lot less than I expected i'd be paying.
Wondering if maybe they'll have a strip of a color like my car to put on the upper part of the windshield... we'll see.

Tint is like paint jobs, you can go to earl shieb or go high end.
We had Huper Optik Ceramic installed on our new XB , all windows
tinted 30%, Nationwidel warranty for the life of the vehicle
550$
Non-metallic , dye free, 61% heat rejection. No interference with GPS, cell phone or radar detectors
You wont get this with your $140 all over tint job. Do your tint homework and ask questions about brand and film type before throwing your money over to Spookie TINT
And always insist on a manufactures written warranty, not an dealers warranty.
Would you buy a new Xb if only the selling dealer could repair it ?

My buddy runs a shop and did mine. The back measured 30% from the factory with a borrowed meter from a deputy. We put 20% on the front and 35% on the rear. His Lummar 35% tint tests 30% with this meter after installation. I love it. The front is not dark enough to get pulled over and the back is not too dark to see out of at night.
