Hey guys,

Since there are so many of you guys around in my area, I was wondering if I could get some help/opinions and what kind of tint you guys got working for ya.

I was thinking about doing a high end flim like ceramic, but that will set me back at least $300.

I thought about getting a metallic hybrid instead for about $120, but I've read that can give you AM/GPS interference if there is a rear-window mounted antenna, but since Fit is roof mounted, that shouldn't be a problem.

So what kind of tint do you guys think work the best? AND should I tint the whole car or just the "legal" section?

 

Whole car.

 

Whole car for sure! I ended getting a metallic-y one..I'm not sure if it is the one you are talking about specifically, but yeaaa.. here's a picture :] It wasn't a great day for pictures..so the pic doesn't really do the tint justice..but yeaaa.. My cousin got the same tint for his car..but without the metallic..and I think there's a pretty huge difference. Hope this helps! :]

 

Depends on where you are in CA... Some areas are more heavily enforced than others, especially come end of the month. If you don't mind the risk and hassle of a $10 fix-it ticket, by all means, go for it, if not, stick to what's legal.

Johnsons Greystone, which is a non-metallic film is what I've used in the past. The clarity is awesome compared to lower-end metallic films I've tried prior to. GL on your decision....

 

i use johnsons film and its really great.

ive had no problems with it at all with my gps. and ive only got a fix it ticket in the front because the cop was a douche. but i got that written off pretty quick.

 

Did you 2 guys tint your cars yourselves?

 

i took mine to a local tint shop.

 

i have a tint hook up here in san diego. he does all the armored vehicles for at systems.


so he drove to my house and did it. as well as missy fits.

 

can anyone recommend a Johnsons Dealer here in Socal? preferably in the OC or riverside area. I hope i can get a decent tinit job this time...i tinted my last car twice and both jobs were terrible! first one was bubbly and the second time there were squiggly lines everywhere...

 

like i said in the other tint post. sunrise window tint i think in westminster off moran st. 140 for all windows and a visor stripe for the windshield

 

Hey guys. I went ahead an got the tint done. Cost me about $200. 20% in the back half, 40% in the front. car looks that much dam nicer. only thing tho is the back right little window has some lines/streaks/scratches that i think are underneath the film, between the window. thinking about taking in back on monday to have it looked at.

 

damm thats hella expensive. where in cali are you located?
