Wanted to share before the light got really bad.. just got back from Sal's Perfect Window Tint out in Santa Ana, CA.

Went for the Huber Optik Ceramic tint.. mostly because I have 4 years of warranty, live in CA and the car for the most part sits outside baking in the sun.. also since the car is black on black little extra help couldn't hurt.

My first impression is its not dark enough.. but gotta give it a few days to settle as well. Otherwise so far so good..

Sal's team is very friendly and did a great job..

Nice!

Nice, but the true way to tell if they are good is to look at the cuts along the window edges and how close the tint is to the edge as well. Now just wait for tint to dry and enjoy.

MB4tronic

Yeah I watched these guys do the edges.. they actually go over and shave it down.. not something I had seen before.. so the edges are razor to the exact edge. As said before on this forum.. Sal and his team do good work.

dsm2925

dsm2925

djrabbi

Any electronic interference, i.e. radio/SAT/bluetooth/nav due to Huber Optik? I had a Lexus GS350 that had Huber Optik tint in which the tint did interfere with radio reception.

dsm2925

50 should b just right.. Dude you should post some pics of your car!!

Vik888

Huper Optik should never do that because it has no metal in it. If anyone sold you genuine Huper Optik, and it did that, maybe it wasn't HO.

I always wondered about how aftermarket tint will look with out blue tinted glass, but if you go dark, I guess it doesnt really matter because the darker tint will over power the blue anyways. Tint looks great!!! I just got my front windshield replace due to a unexpected crack. My trusted glass guy didnt have the ppg in stock, but he had a pilkington one which I know MB uses also as OEM so I was ok with it. He showed me how the oem windshied does not have a shadeband, so he show me one with a light grey shadeband and it looks great with the car. I will post pics up if you guys like.

too shiny and not quite dark enough in my opinion, but it doesn't look bad.

too reflective for me also but still looks good. now do your front windshield, best decision I made

Tint looks good. I need to get my E55 tinted before it gets hotter. Plan on going 35% fronts, 20% rears. legal in VA is 50% Front and 35% rears.

Worth the wait

Avoid Falls Church and Arlington or you WILL get a $100+ ticket.....ask me how I know..lol.

novae500

what ????? i thought high end cars five o doesnt go after. I know they were all over me in my Honda Civic Si. My friend had his Audi A6 35% all around no problem for past 9yrs and never stopped. Lives in Tysons Corner too.

justinrhenry

isn't 35% legal? it is most places. is that mike tyson's corner?

bchalou

Nope the percentage varies by state.

I love the Mike Tyson's corner joke btw.

Just wondering if you have noticed any scratching on the windows after rolling them up and down? My guy here in KC didn't mention replacing the liner on my 08, but he said they would have to do so on my girlfriend's 08 Acura TL.
