To window tint or not to window tint, that is the question...

a.roden · 20th July 2012, 17:30

Once again im spamming the styling section, shall i get my windows tinted on my tangerine cts.
I dont want the car to look to look too boy racer, but i think with my gloss black gp splitters (when i get them done) would really look good with tints, whats everyones opinion?

roundy · 20th July 2012, 18:19

Yes will look nice mate, car round by me has it done with gloss black gp splitters like me

TintFX are very good in Brierley Hill for tinting.

fatmarky · 20th July 2012, 19:56

Go for it,car will look great

phil99 · 20th July 2012, 20:03

You can come look at mine and see what you think about the tints. I can highly recommend tintmaster in Telford too

a.roden · 20th July 2012, 21:18

Will have to get a few quotes in, a mate of mine owns a business doing it so might be able to get it done cheap. Im worrying about what shade to get though, i dont want to go darkest, but i might consider something close to the manufacturer shade; which is dark but not the darkest...

hi all sorry foe hi-jacking but just a quick question when your tintin your windows are the "tint professionals" able to tint the persplex part of the back window aswel,as i am wanting to get my rear windows tinted over here in ireland,tried to get a couple to do it and they say they cant tint the persplex part

.Can it be done??

Hello mate, do you know how dark the factory tints are? I want to do mine but I can't stand those looks where its just as dark as you can go and it doesn't suit the car!

Thats exactly how i feel! Iwill find out, i think its about 80% of the legal darkness. But dont know the real figures :-/

Rymz · 20th July 2012, 21:59

I was thinking of getting my tints done but after I heard about the rear perpex part not being ale to tint it I was put off

I've seen a few civics with tints but they all had the perpex part normal and it looked tacky

Show us some pics if you get it done and those of you who have got tints show some pics

It was done by Tintmaster.

cv65user · 21st July 2012, 14:21

Hi did not want to interrupt your thread but I am also considering this for my five door Civic . I do quite like the tints on the standard seat leon , anyone copied this or know. Or What level of. Tint it uses

2die4 · 22nd July 2012, 11:23

+1 for Tintmaster as well! I got 35% tints which is the "factory look" as I was concerned the darker 20% tint would make my NHB CTR look a bit van-like.

Main reason I used Tintmaster was because he can do the Perspex section with the fly eye stuff. Think it came to £130 or something like that.

Really happy with the end results.

Rymz · 23rd July 2012, 21:53

Really appreciate the pics mate.

I'm still in 2 minds wether to get mine done or not.

a.roden · 23rd July 2012, 22:01

I agree^ thanks for the pics, will probably get it done eventually, but not one of my priorities

lloyd86 · 24th July 2012, 12:19

What prices are people paying for tints as im getting quoted £165 and im sure i can get it cheaper somewhere else. Im based in Stoke if anyone knows anywhere close or sort of close!

I think I paid £130 for mine from Tintmaster Noticed that Phil99 had his done by them and they could apply the Fly Eye stuff to the rear perspex section so that was the main reason. That plus the fact that once a week I'm in Telford. Callum did a first class job and I would definitely recommend it.
