i wana get as dark as i can but still legal, what can i for ohio? also i believe i can have the 2 rears and back one darker then the front, would that look stupid with diffrent % tinit??

speaking of the $15 purple tint, ill be back on here later i gotta show ya this purple car with purple tint, the tint turned purple after a year it makes me laugh

ok heres the legallities in ohio:
--- ANY TINT APPLIED TO ANY WINDOW DIRECTLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT CAN TRANSMIT NO LESS THAN 50% OF LIGHT (GIVE OR TAKE 3%) so technically speaking you can have it 47% visible on each of the sides

--- ANY TINT APPLIED TO THE WINDSHIELD MUST BE 70% VISIBLE (GIVE OR TAKE 3%) and that tint at the top can only be up to 5 inches down

--- NO RED OR YELLOW OR REFLECTIVE TINT IN ANY WAY, any other color is allowed

--- ALL TINT MUST HAVE A MANUFACTURERS NAME LISTED IF APPLIED AFTER 1990 i dont think cops give two ****s on that one


all these rules of course include the glaze already on the factory windows, hence the 3% rule... the little back side windows and the rear can be blacked out basically... as long as the side view mirrors work

answer all questions?
keep in mind this is in OHIO other states vary...

ne one know indiana?

nice posting on ohio...thanks a bunch man. I'm gonna go for 30% on sides, 10%front and 20% back...and no rockstar...if you have dfiffernt % tints it will look just fine...make sure your sides are noticeable more if not the same then front and rear and you won't look like a dumb@ss

i tinted over 250 car in the last 10 years as a side job to make a few bucks here and there. The average price for a car is 150 give or take a couple bucks. The kind of tint you get and how good of a job the person did putting it on the window will decide how long it will last! I hope you dont decide to buy cheap tint. If you have never tinted b4 and you figure all the time you will put toward trying tinting yourself with parts and materials you are better off paying to have it done. I am sure if you bring your car to me or a good shop that you will be able to see the difference from when you di it yourself. When i do a back window it is 1 peice of tint. You can not do that with the smaller rolls so you will need 2 rolls just for the back window!
2 rolls for a back window = $30
2 rolls for both sides = $30
materials will cost you about = $15
your total is $75 and you will spend 5-6 hours trying to get it to look good.
2 more rolls of tint after you mess it up = $105

Just bring your cheap but here for 2 hours and have me do it for the $130
(That is cheap around here.)
It will look good!!!!!!
Steve's car is a good example of my tinting skill

Don't complain guys. I have told you about our insane prices before. My local shop want 600$ to tint my back window (hatch) and my two small read windows.

So go tint your windows professionaly for 150$ and be happy.

just added tint on my 94 gt, 30% on front and 25% on back windows and hatch for 135, which is 110 for a 5 window car plus lifetime guarantee, still high for the area, but otherwise good job

how would you go 10% on the fronts? most you can have is 50% and why would you go 30% on the back with 30 % and what do you mean sides noticeable more lol i was thinking like on the small ones in the back and the rear put like 20% on and then 50 on the front. that sound ok or cool??

dont do it yourself! have it done right... its worth the little extra cash.

Hope this helps you guys out. I got mine done professionaly 22% all the way around, it was around 150 with the front strip plus lifetime warranty. I've also tried to tint my old car with the cheap walmart tint and it didn't come out too bad, but the professional looks so much better, and was much less stressful.

heh, Dave i dont have any pics up of my car w/ the tint.
but i drove past him yesterday on the backroad to Broughton, maybe he took a mental image
