This looks awesome^^^
Anyone else have BSP pictures with 35% all around? (I know this is FM)

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.

Mine is 3M Tint 35% all around......In my opinion it's the darkest you can go without getting harrased by the cops.

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...

You sure that's 35%? I just got my Llumar done. I got 15% and it looks as dark as yours. The 35% they showed my looked a lot lighter, I'll post pics when I get a chance.

Hmmm, I'm starting to doubt your 15% is my 35%. I don't know, here's some more pictures.

20%

10% back windows and 25% sides

Your first pics were in the shade more with dark objects in the backround and the second pics were more in the sun with lighter a backround. That is probably the difference.

Most of these pictures are showing darker than they really are, because most of them are taken at an extreme angle to the window. The camera should be perpendicular to the window to show actual tint, IMO.

that looks good! I think i might go with this but 25% all around.
