Tint party?

[ScottyK]

I noticed the last get together was a "tint party". Will there be anyone there to tint on Saturday?

[Pappy]

No.

[ScottyK]

Solid answer....thanks. Need to get my windows tinted soon. Thinking 35% on all. Will that be too dark and get me pulled over? I had 35% all the way around on my 2004 wagon ZTW and NEVER got a second look from a cop. I always thought it was because I was driving a WAGON. I'll prob. go 35%.

So, next up on mods....remove all decals, relocate ST, Tint windows, Cover "ford" emblems on front and back with whatever o2designs has for me, install halo headlights. That'll be all for this year. Oh, and add mnfocus stickers too.

So, I am starting to think the guy at firestone wasn't BSing me. The back end really sways and moves around a lot...mostly in-town driving...under 40mph. Would there be other causes than the bushings to this effect? The new rims and tires maybe?

Now I am talking too much. Sorry.

East ramp at the mega mall....i'll do my best to be there.

Wrong. I had to deal with this a year ago.
No tint is legal on the Front Windshield.
55% is the legal limit on the Driver front and passanger front windows.
Anything behind the front sides can be tinted to whatever is wanted. all the way down to 0%, but if you're gonna do that, just bust out some paint and do it that way. lol. I'm not sure about the rear window, but I think that might be 35%.

We don't have anyone that tints here....could I get tinted somewhere while i am down there on Saturday?

(3) when any side window or rear window is composed of or treated with any material so as to obstruct or substantially reduce the driver's clear view through the window or has a light transmittance of less than 50 percent plus or minus three percent in the visible light range or a luminous reflectance of more than 20 percent plus or minus three percent; or

So its 50% plus or minus 3 on the front sides and 20% plus or minus 3 on the rears...

ass

By the way in Minnesota a window tint ticket is no longer a "fix it ticket"! It counts the same as a moving violation -same as speed . Insurance companies view it the same way ! If you manage to get away from a cop stop with only a warning ,it will be rare . ---Bob

Man.....maybe I won't tint this year.

"If you want to get it done tomarrow call them today" With people getting there cars out of storage they are probably getting very busy.

Life time warrenty as long as you own the car. They do great work!!

They have done a couple cars in the club here and alot of other very well known cars in the cities area.

I have 35% in my very front two windows and 30% in the back windows I have never been bothered with a black car and black interior witch makes the tint appear darker yet.

[Monkey-Gein]

yes, you do fail. i dunno where you got rear out of luminous reflectance. the olny time you can legally have anything darker than 50% is if it's a truck, van, limo, hearse (or other dead people transport), or a popo car. and yes, i am a great big ass cause i look out for people and try to give them the CORRECT info based on the law to help prevent them from getting hassled as much and not getting a ticket that'll cost them alot of money. then, after that, have to pay to get the tint off.

in short. don't know shit, don't talk shit. and stfu

[ScottyK]

Everyone settle down....I appreciate all the help.

[9fcskells]

yeah, I agree! Street Scenes tint all the way. can't beat lifetime warranty. I went 30% all around and haven't gotten any attention from cops so far
