Window Tint Examples
#102
Thanks to everyone who posted pics of their tint. It really helps to decide what to get. Tinting the front side windows is illegal where I'm from, but I'm thinking if I do the hatch and back sides darker than the front sides, then it will be less noticable. I'd rather have it even all around, but I don't want the hassle of getting a ticket and having to take it off. Has anyone used 45%-50% on the front sides or is that basically pointless?

it is stock at like 70% and 50% is pretty much pointless...i have 20% around and have no problems with it. I live in the city so cops really could care less about tint. Anything below 70% is illegal here by the way.

I got my tint early last month. The brand is Llumar and it comes with a lifetime warranty. 70% is the legal limit here (which is stock), so I went with 35% all around except my windshield.
It is also important to do a little research on the tint shop you plan on going to. I went to a place where their tint specialist never did a Scion tC before. Sometimes, this is ok - but the guy who did my tint put the weather strips on my window on wrong. I ended up taking of the door panels to fix both sides and then resetting my auto up/down configurations. My tint actually was damaged by the weather strips, as I noticed it within a few days after. I took it back to the shop a few weeks ago, and they redid the tint on both windows. It was such a hassle. Just research, etc.

^^Yeah, don't be a 'guinea pig'. I did some research before I had my Springs installed. Didn't want some yea-who who didn't know much about Scions workin' on my tC! I'm glad to hear that they fixed your tint! And it looks very nice on a BBM tC.

I've got some coupons from a few tinters here... need to call this one tinter, see what they can offer me
apparently cars from our MB and Jaguar dealerships go there for tinting, and they sell Llumar so we'll see...
