Tint for front doors

Maybe I said that weird…I was referring to the % difference in heat rejection stats

 

Sorry, getting old, and working until 2AM and not getting enough sleep was not a good combo.
Correct, I just read that line with the one the bottom and was like, I didn't know installer would charge for different % tint..... my bad....

 

All good …good convo also like hearing what other tint guys tell there customers

I think solid shops don’t charge more for darker tint….but a lot of these new ‘franchise’ setups focus on sales …not service
& ill start the ☕️!!

 

My price didn't change on tint darkness. Only went up for film heat rejection quality.

 

Here's how mine looks. I went 50% over the rear 22% (measured at the install) factory glass for an effective 11% and 20% on the front. I didn't do the windshield as we drive a lot at night but still considering it.

Side note: I need to wax my truck!

 

I never charged different for darkness %. Also I'm not a business, just did it on the side since I was 16. And not like everyday but enough I got decent at it.

 

Hell yea!
Well if you are ever in SE NC ..hit me up!!

 

Any recommendations for a tint shop in Dallas?

 

Just had mine done, did 25% 3M tint on the fronts about as dark as I can go in Minnesota without getting pulled over all the time. Left backs factory and they are just a little darker was going for as close of a match as I could get. Did limo tint on the rear window. Ill post some pics in a bit.

 

15% fronts 35% rears and 50% windshield here in cali

 

Ceramic all around. 70% windshield, 35% fronts, and down to 20% for the rears. Here in Massikastan 35% is legal limit for front windows. Pricing was higher for ceramic vs. non. Makes quite the difference in terms of the amount of heat, def. recommend it.

 

did you do the sunroof?

 

Those 15% front sides make the 50% windshield look so much darker lol. I bet they're supah dark under the sun
( Guys keep in mind that darker side windows will heavily affect the windshield shade)

 

was told by the tint guy the backs and the rear comes 20% factory so I did the front to match. And I have the windshield at 35% ceramic

 

Did you meter it or just base it off of spec numbers?

 

i just based it off what the tint guys told me. i like to believe we live in a world where people wouldn't need to lie to you, especially if your business name is quality tint.

 

I meant, did your tint guy meter it or did he look at specs numbers on a paper, lol. Of course, I wouldn't see any reason why the business would lie. I've been hearing 28% VLT (metered) all across the board (for 3rd gen Tundra) and thought that 20% was suspiciously darker

 

no he didn't meter it at all. he just said yours and lexus comes 20% factory so i took his word for it. maybe he rounded down. mississippi isn't known to have the best school systems

 

Gotcha

 

Royal?

I just called them and made an appointment, I stumbled on this post after I hung up and searched here for "Rayno" to decide what I wanted to go with ahead of dropping off this Thursday.
