Window Tint

[korman100]

Hey fellas I need some input here. I never had to put tint on my other 2 nissans because they come from the dealer already applied. I am looking to get tint on the Titans front windows and would like to know which is the best brand these days? LLumar????? 3M?????? others?????? Any input would be appreciated.

Titan Le CC 4x2
Radiant Silver

I got LLumar 30% on my fronts. LLumar comes with a lifetime warranty and doesn't fade like other brands will. I recommend it.

Sammy thanks for the quick reply. One more question. What % is the factory tint on the back windows?

Also, I am looking to get my exhaust done just like yours next week. The shop says I am looking at 300+tax. How does this price compare to what you paid?

Thanks again

20% will match up to the factory, but is illegal in most states on the front windows. 28% is the max you can get on the front windows in Florida, 15% on rear, and 6% on back.

I paid $330 for the exhaust, the X-pipe was installed later for $45. I would consider $300 normal for a dual set up.

Llumar is good and the lifetime warranty can be used anywhere....just got mine done yesterday...really cooled down the inside in this florida sun...I went as dark as legal.

I talked to my local tint dealer and was quoted $100 for the two front windows. Is that in line or are they trying to gouge me?

I had it done at Auto Tek here on the southside. That would be quite a haul for you but they do an outstanding job. They use LLumar tint in whatever shade you want. I went with the 20% just to match the factory tint.

i also went with 20% to match the factory. $50 bucks for 2 windows. lifetime warranty.

For any of the more frugal members,you can get tint at Walmart for $9-$12 cheapest to best.It is sold by Axius.The application kit is about $3,and baby shampoo$1.50.You can do at least 2 windows,and maybe 3 if they are small(probably just 2 on the Titan).Now,this is do it yourself,and there is a learning curve.It won't be as good a job as the pros who do it all day,but it will keep the heat out.The pros do a better job on the edges(perfectly cut and all the way to the edge) and you won't have any bubbles(though the bubbles eventually evaporate away).
I used this on my Prizm,and will take a shot at the front side windows of my XE KC.Total cost $20,and about 1 hr.If you can get 2 windows done by a pro for ~$50,don't DIY.The Walmart stuff has metallic properties also.Charlie

I was quoted $55 and $58, went with the later because they used LLumar. My old truck was done for $48, so I'd say anything in the $50 range. $100 is a gouge.
