UPDATE: got tm' done Pics on post #56

I was just wondering if its ok to tint windows while its still a bit cold out..Its going

to be like 40-50 here next week and I just wanted to if its better to wait until

later in the spring because i heard its better to do it when its warm out?

 

I have yet to tint mine but I would say wait till its over 65... it might be worth it..

What percent tint are you getting?

 

they always tell you to keep the windows up and usually it is done inside a garage (warmer temps)

 

doesnt really matter much if its cold or warm out when you tint. its just if its warmer out, the adhesive will cure quicker. BUT, if your windows freeze at night. dont tint your windows. might get bubbles..i plan on tinting my windows myself too..everyone says get it professionally done, but its cuz they dont know how to do it. well good luck with that, its gonna look 10x better after you get it tinted!

 

what percent tints is everyone looking at?

 

i plan on tinting mine 35%, thats the legal tint in washington =[

 

Please post pictures when ya do... would love to see them

 

Im actually thinking of doing 20% all the way around! Ill def. post pics when its done!

 

I've got 20% all around and it looks good. It's illegal in IL to have the front driver/passenger side windows with tint, but I haven't had a problem with that yet. 20% looks really dark in cloudy weather and you can still see in with a little effort in the sun. As far as the cold, I agree with the bubbles comment if your car freezes, however the tint should be close enough to dry when you leave the shop. The time period will be longer before the windows can be rolled down if it's colder outside.

 

my car is 35% all around, but on the white car its looks darker

 

JAX i would love to see ur EVO TB with a 20%.. so when u get it done.. post pics asap

 

i got 35% all around on my Tb, i love it

 

My IX MR with 5% all around.

 

Its perfectly fine to do it...the rule is to leave your windows up for about 3-4 days if its warm out, and if its cold leave your windows up for about 5-7 days

As for just putting it on in the cold, i dont really know how well it sticks, i got mine professionally done so they had a heated garage

 

Mine is 15% I live in washington and no issues. My truck was 5% all around and no issues either.
