Before and after tint

I had my windows tinted last week...Here are before/after pictures. I have a few more things in mind but this is the first modification.

Material: Sun-Gard High Performance Metallic
Done at: www.dr-tint.com
I am please with the job. I also used their Heat Gun to remove the dealers logo on the back...So 2x modifications done


I saw a bubble at a corner of a window, went back and they fixed it in 20 seconds.


The Tint for the car is:
50% front (incl: Sunstrip) 50% is "illegal" in Quebec, we are allowed 70% max. They could stop me for inspection...I'll have to wait and see
35% Back
20% Rear window

For the benefit of those reading who don't know what the percentages mean. It represents the amount of light that passes through with the tint film applied. So 5% means that only 5% of the light gets through. The lower the percentage the darker it is. 0% would allow no light ie. completely blacked out.

Different countries and even states within those countries have different laws regarding how dark you can go. In Australia 35% is the legal limit all round (except windscreen that can't be tinted except for a small strip at the top). Authorities can test how dark a film is with a light meter or a test card / strip.

In my state, it's unlimited in rear, no tint up front.

So you literally can have opaque double layer 0% on all your rears, but your fronts have to be stock. Idiotic.

That's not to say I won't be putting on a little anyway - was planning the same for mine, actually... 20/35/50. Although seeing it now, may go 15/25/50...

I Quebec:
The two front windows is 70% max.
Windshield well 0%, suntrip 6 inches max.
Everything else we can do what we want.

And for "Je me souviens"....Well I actually do not remember what it refers to !!

It looks nice. It looks like it's fading in from light to dark in your last pic.

Are cops in Quebec strict? I am running 12% tint all around in Cali right now and so far, I haven't gotten pulled over for it yet.

No there not strict. But if they pull me over for something and I try to be a smart ass they might add the window as a bonus. I will not be stopped just for the windows.
So I'm practicing; "Yes, Sir" "Thank you, Sir" and "Have a nice day, Sir"

[I]Yes sir. Thank you sir...sounds like the way to get by!
Mine is a silver storm, like yours I beleive.
Have you considered silver tint that degrades into clear on the way up, or was it not an option?

I know what you mean, I saw that somewhere and it looks good, but it is a bit too flashy for me.
