Looks good, I think it adds a lot to the white Titan too. As you can see I had to have it done too a few days after I got mine.

I like it, How dark 20%?

Titano24's · 09-25-2004, 04:49 PM

yep yep 20% all the way around with a 7" strip on the front windshield.

wow, that looks dark for 20%. could be that its in the shade too. mines 15% to match the factory backs. btw, it looks very nice.

haha factory back is 20% we used a meter on it, so I had them put another sheet of 20% over it now its basically limo haha, not to mention that one companies 20% could be lighter or darker than another ones. I have another companys 20% on my TSX and its wayyyyyyyy lighter.

well a 5% difference is hardly noticeable, oh and just to let ya know after putting the second sheet of 20% over the back the reading was 9% hehe

How does the front stip look where the dot matrix is around the rear view mirror?

I plan on having the front windshield tinted 60% (like my woman's `04 civic) and then placing a strip at the top...

It doesnt sound like much, but it doesnt attract cop attention, and does help keep heat out of her car...

Just curious how it looks around the dot matrix stuff, did they sand it down first? I've heard of sometimes having to do this to get the tint to lay flat and not look ****ty...

Have any of you that have tinted front windows darker had any problem with the law. I'd like to tint mine but have enough trouble keeping the red and blue lights from following me.

Titano24's · 09-25-2004, 06:50 PM

From what I saw the dot matrix stuff on the front windshield looks good as of right now, I think it still has to dry a few days to get the finished look, I will take a picture as soon as it dries to give you a better idea.

I've had my tint done since march when I got the truck(even the front strip). I had my tint done on the way home from the dealership from taking delivery.

garo1 · 09-25-2004, 08:38 PM

I love that blacked out look on the white Titan's. That's the way I went too.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it...

a lot of times w/ that dot matrix stuff, they will put down a black vinyl first then the tint. otherwise youll get some bubbles. its almost impossible to get the tint to stick in every small space between the dots. a buddy of mine had to get it done this way on the back window of his 330 ci.
