The other day I got a quote for $110 so I just went out and got it done in what was a spur of the moment sort of decision, all in all Im happy with the results.

It was a very bright day so it doesn't get as much credit as it should. Its 35% on the sides and 20% on the back.

Nicely done, perfect for the motif of the car you've got going.

Very nice. So for the tails, did you tint them with paint or film?

Are the rear windows 20%? Or just the hatch?

Just the hatch is 20%, I got it done at some tint shop in east hartford...probably the only one ion that part of town, yes my wheel is bent...big huge epic pothole, im working on it.
And my tails were painted by my buddy like 9 months ago in Fl, he does auto painting sorta.

Thats about what I paid for the back little windows and the hatch on my 3dr.
Can't have any tint on the front side windows in illinois though...

I like it, I like darker better, but i do like it.
rock On!

the car looks amazing except for the bent rim on the front right, i'm sure that was a painful experience :cry:

otherwise though that's a sweet meteorite metallic LB and you have a couple mods I have planned so it's nice to see some assurance that I have good taste :laugh:

I love your headlights. What are they and where did you get 'em?

The Architect

ehh they're the now infamous depo lights but you can get them from ebay for around 229

if you do get them YOU MUST GET HID and....YOU MUST SILOCONE THE HOUSING.

and if you know a guy id really recommend putting another light low or non gloss clear coat.

Did they use two pieces of tint on the back window?

The Architect

sure did.

seamless was a fair bit more and it wouldve taken a good deal longer and i could only hope that he get every single crease out just right.

i dont mind.

Nice job. Meteorite Metallic really pops with a tint. Have the same theme for my car. I really like your rims too. Good job!

Here is mine, fits well within this thread :biggrin:

I need to get a spoiler, but don't know exactly which one to get, the regular small one or a bigger one...

How do you have a meteorite metallic like me in San Jose, not to mention from the Stevens Creek Scion when I bought mine at the Stevens Creek Toyota, and I've never run into you before? You should check out the California regional forum, the North Bay members are having a meet.

I hate pulling out blind because someone has tinted their windows. But then I hate pulling out blind because the vehicle parked next to me is taller than I am.
