I am thinking about getting my windows 35% tinted all around. I have a couple questions though. Where can I find the exact tint laws for my state, what's a reasonable price to get the job done professionally with a lifetime warranty, and can anyone post pictures of their Escapes (or otherwise) with 35% tints. Thank you!

You are in MA, right?

Windshield:
-Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield.

Front Side Windows
-Must allow more than 35% of light in.

Back Side Windows
- Must allow more than 35% of light in.

Rear Window
- Must allow more than 35% of light in.

And if you want that shiny silver stuff:
Front Side Windows
-Must not be more than 35% reflective.
Back Side Windows
-Must not be more than 35% reflective.

Side mirrors are required if the back window is to be tinted. Not a problem for us unless you knocked one off.

I would say go for the regular black tint, I think the silver looks kinda corny.

But what does 35% tint look like? PICTURES PLEASE! :fan:

look at the show what you got thread, you will see my wifes cobalt, the front is 30%, or look at my escape, its 20% that should give you a pretty good idea.

 

[PupsterDO]

Anyone got pictures of what 35% looks like?

scroll down and they have a spot that shows you the different ones. this was picked at random from flee bay. all i did was typed in pre cut window tint.

Just made an appointment to get the car 35% tinted the week after Easter. Total: $200. The windshield strip will be done later after I replace the windshield (due to a crack); that will cost $30. Good deal?

 

[CrashNburn]

sounds good to me, i paid 230 Cdn for my wifes car, and 70 bucks to get my front doors on the escape done.

Quick Q:

I have window vent shades all around my door windows. Do I need to remove these to have the car tinted? I would think the tint is applied to the inside of the window and therefore I should be fine, but does anyone have experience with this and can offer me an answer? :WW

All tint is applied to the inside so you are fine!

So I guess this thread should be moved to "Interior Mods" then...

:hyst: :hyst: :hyst:

 

[Scooter Scott]

You know that is a really good question lol

 

[Surfscape]

Seams like a logical move...

I paid $65 USD for mine ( back when a USD was worth something).

They did the 2 front windows to match the back windows

Tint affects the exterior look more than the interior. I consider it an exterior modification.

 

[Surfscape]

True - outside looking or inside looking out. I guess it is really done for external appearence. )

Tint affects the exterior look more than the interior. I consider it an exterior modification.

but it does a good job of blocking the sun and UV and police from looking at the Interior. HAHA :yahoo:
