Wheres the after pics?? I also took the plunge and think it looks better too!
 
Looks great!!! Looks like you trimmed the bushes at the edge of your driveway while it was getting tinted.
John ;)

BTW, If anyone else is interested, I have a local guy who will go to your location to tint your windows! He's been doing it for 15+ years. :eek:
 
very nice :) Those So Cal sun can get brutal for us sensitive skins..,

Do you mind sharing where you got it tinted, and your impression with the work, shop, cost..etc?

Looks very nice on both cars and will be much cooler this summer. Good choice.

I had them done by Todd at Todd's Tinting here in Oside(right by Nicks shop)..He use to own Sun Tamers in O.C. where I had previous work done...He has been doing it for over twenty years and guarantees his work for the life of the car...does great work, but not cheap...but not too bad....$195 for the NSX and $225 for the Bimmer, but $15 off each car for the multi car discount, so it was $390 out the door for both....I love what it has done for both cars!!!
 
What percent did you end up going with?? I have 11%on the side and limo on the little back window and it does not look as dark as other cars, but I also have ivory interior so that could be part of it.
 
Thanx for the compliments guys....:)


I went with the medium tint(35%) all the way around on both cars...they both have black interiors, so it was a good choice for me....

I did 20% on the hatch & 40% on the doors - lighter on the doors attracts less attention from the authorities as being "tinted" when viewed relartive to rear.
I was actually pulled over (slight speeding but only verbal "take-it-easy" warning) but with no mention of the tint (illegal in CA on front side windows) or my front plate (or lack thereof!) - although he never actually saw the front of the car! ;)
 
Did you put a strip on the front windshield?
I went 10% on the sides and hatch because I didn't do anything to the windshield. It is plenty dark but doesn't give the appearance because of the lack of tint on windshield.
 
Looks good! You'll reall enjoy it and notice the difference when it starts to get hot.
 
I always have the windows tinted on my cars within about 24 hours of getting them if possible. When I bought my Integra GSR new from the dealer, I would not pick it up until they had the windows tinted. :D :cool:
