Solar Metallic 30% Tint
Abstract - Cars generally
look better with its windows tinted. In almost all car commercials, the cars
are displayed with heavy tints. Also, tinted windows match silver cars very
well.
Purchase - Bought direct
from Tint King Inc in Billerica, MA.
Parts - Custom computer cut
Solar metallic 30% tint for all windows except front windshield.
Installation
- Technicians performed professional installation for $220 including materials
and labor.
Impressions - My first impression is that I did not
tint it dark enough. I rushed this mod and if I had a second chance I would
gotten 20%. I chose 35% tint because I knew that the state tinting laws for
Massachusetts was 35% all around, and I did not want to get a fix-it ticket.
You can look up your local state tinting laws <here>. After having the tint on
for over a year and a half, I notice that the tint is starting to bubble a
little at the sides of the glass. From a daily drivers perspective, I felt
that the tint was too dark from the inside, because it made sunny days seem
gloomy.
Conclusions - Tinting looks great for show, but
sometimes it makes things look too dark from the inside. $200 for a
professional install and parts is about what everyone is paying. Some say that
metallic based tints might affect radar detectors such as the Valentine One.
