Tint me
I has SunTeck brand tint installed as it came with a lifetime warranty. Got the legal limit tint for NC (allows 35% of light in.) Very happy with the quality of the tint and it does NOT interfere with my radio. Some of the cheap tint can.
The install tech fussed about how hard it was to do the rear window in my coupe. Said it was the most difficult read window he has done. But looked perfect.

Mine is Palladium Silver. I remember it is 20% but after the tint I like it to be darker (less %), as Silicon Valley sometimes gets hot and very bright in summer. The tint color is not brown but more like dark blueish. Tint is on rear side widows, four pieces total. It's illegal to tint the front windows in CA. No tint on rear windshield as I have sunshade there.
I believe it's 3M film and the shop says I have lifetime warranty.

I have 35% front and 20% rear even tho its illigal to go lower then 35% in MA. If ur interior is bright, 35% of any tint is not dark at all on the sunny day. My interiror is black, and im still going to do 20% all around after i do state inspection. Check ur state tint law and if u need to have yearly inspection. I dont know anything about tint brands, i just trusted well known tint shop in my town.

i went to "mobile tint shop" in east boston near the airport, It cost me 140$ to do 5 windows and it only took them less then an hour, if you rate them on yelp its minus 10$ Lol. Other places i called were $200+. I also drive palladium silver with black int. Dont do 35% all around lol you will regret it, but only problem is state inspection here.

crazy
Getting mine done in an hour. I'm making myself crazy deciding. I'm more about a subtle classy look. Not to gangsta, so I'm going with 35%. Plus I'm old and my vision ain't so great anyhow.
I'll post a pic later.
Definitely would not go darker, but I'm happy with this.

my friend drives w205 c300 matte white, he has 20% 5 windows and 35% front windshield, never was pulled over for that. I guess in our state if u drive a nice car and its tinted, they wont bother you unless ur doing something reckless.. Keep in mind that some inspections will let you go with 25% tint on the rear. As long as ur front windows are 35%

no, ill keep them on because fronts are legal right now so they should not reject me, after inspection, ill take them off and do darker. So for the next inspection if they say its too dark ill try to talk to them maybe offer them some money on top lol. I take my cars to "kendal square location advance tire" they do my inspection only. Everything else i do myself.
