Car Tint
Wanted to ask all of you about car tint. I am looking to retint my car but don't know what i should get. I have heard that Formula 1 tint is the best around but noone knows whats the difference with that and regular tint. Anyone here know the difference with Formula 1 tint. Why does it cost more.
Thanks
Thanks

I have solar gard on mine and had it done here in Tampa. He only charged 140 bucks and gives a lifetime warranty on his work. The stuff I got was "charcoal medium" whatever that equates to. It's top notch....and yeah he removed the 3rd brakelight for it. always look like **** when people tint around that.

lots of cars
your right I would keep it stock or get a really light tint so your interior will not suffer so much in the summer. An also you have light colors inside so is not as hot as my black interior.

zahkust is that 23%? that looks great, are u saying he cut out around the brake light? or he removed it completely? show a pic if u can, i took my brake light out, tinted the whole window and then i put it back and its behind the tint. But solar guard is the best tint around i recomend it to everyone, my shop just ordered 200g worth of tint from them... big clients.

I have no problems witht he madico onmy car. I had it tinted over a year ago, and still looks just as it did the day I had it tinted.
Plus I got lifetime warranty on it, and My guy did it for $100.00 including removing the old tint.

I have 5% Lumar tint all around on my car. It's a Black 400E. I like it very much because my interior was very hot in the winter(black interior). Get whatever you like, but make sure you check your local laws, in my area i get pulled over often. Certain states do have permits, including NY, that you can get. I'll post a pic tomorrow after i wash my car(raining today).
