I am looking to throw 50% tint, which is legal limit, on my 2009 Lancer. Has anyone had there car tinted, if so what would it run to do this? Please post pics of tints and there percentages as well.

Thanks!

 

uh... I'm sure most people here tint their windows..

Evo windows are kinda whack that it's so tight.. it might scratch the tint.. so I put moles in it to prevent scratching.. n it works.. no tint scratch. BUT it's got a little squeak sound when windows get rolled up

ehh.. I gotta take my tint off for fix it ticket..

35%

 

you really should search. Already lots of discussion about the difficulties tinting these cars around here...

 

+1, and you should call your the people you are going to have put on your tint for a price

 

And get Tint Protector.

It is a felt you put on the inside of the window seals to prevent tint scratching which will happen if you done do this.

Mine has been working flawlessly for about a month and a half, but others on the forum had it streak glue and come off even. I can't comment for them, but I split the stripping in half and put felt on both weather strips on the inside seal. Maybe that helped I have no idea though.

 

my buddy has been using the tint protector and he says that its been working really well

 

+1 just order mine.

 

lightly sand the plastic before installing to help it bond better

 

anyone got 35% on a PB evoxmr?

 

same. the cop was so bored, he busted a u-turn from the opposite side of the road just to give me a ticket for tint. the whole time i was thinking, "should you give yourself a ticket for making an illegal u-turn? you're bored anyway, right?"

what i learn from tinting is this - cops usually notice dark tints. mirror-type tints (quantum, for example) are rarely noticed. the ONE time i got caught with them in a run of five years, the cop drove around my car like 4 times back and forth before finally pulling me over. again, another bored cop but when i go redo my tint, i think i might tell them to take off everything (currently 20% titanium) and go to the old 20% quantum i used to rock.

 

5% llumar all the way around

 

It has probably been discussed before but the window seal is recalled by Mitsubishi so you should be able to get it replaced by the dealer for free.

I just told the service department my window was "squealing" and they ordered the part, etc for free.

 

15% on Side Windows and Back Glass w/ 35% on the windshield (the whole thing)

 

I dont do tint, just not my speed IMHO, but it looks good on some cars

 

doesn't have the felt backing i bet, so it will still scratch up your tint.
